About Spanjaardslaan 47, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €925,000 is 149% above the neighbourhood average of €371,833, but this home is also much larger than average (291 m² vs 133 m²). It's the most expensive of the six homes currently for sale in Transvaalwijk. The price per square metre works out at about €3,178, which is above the neighbourhood average of €2,673 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how you value the extra space and the 1930s character.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 16.7% of homes have label C, while 83.3% have a lower label (D or below). A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but it's better than many older properties in the area.
