Steenkoolstraat 27

The asking price of €285,000 is very close to the neighbourhood median of €275,000 and the average of €287,727 for homes currently for sale in Maria Gewanden. Given that this house has 141 m², 25% more floor space than the local average of 113 m², the price per square metre works out at about €2,021, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,740 per m². So it looks like good value for the space you get.

The home has energy label C. That is a decent rating, it means the property is reasonably efficient, though not as good as the newer A or B labels. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label C, while 14% have A or A+. With label C you can expect moderate energy bills, but it is worth checking the exact insulation and heating system details with the agent.

Given the house is a terraced property, you can expect a private outdoor space, but for exact dimensions and orientation you would need to view the property.
