The asking price of €575,000 is on the high side compared to the average for homes in Kethel-dorp. However, this is a large terraced house (164 m²) with a generous plot (177 m²) and a historic character from 1853. The energy label is E, which means heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the space and location.

Energy label E is the fifth of seven labels, with A being the most efficient and G the least. It means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher energy bills than with a better label. The label is an official registration and does not directly say which parts of the house need attention, it could be the heating system, insulation or glazing.
