About Thorbeckelaan 53, Naarden
The asking price of €489,000 is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €776,767, but the floor area (95 m²) is 26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 128 m². The median price in Ministerpark is €725,000, so this home is priced well below that. Given the smaller size and the need for energy improvements (label D), the price appears keen relative to the local market.
The home has energy label D. This is below the current standard for new homes, so heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home. In Ministerpark, 43.8% of homes have label D or lower, so it is not unusual for the area. You can expect to spend more on gas and electricity compared to a label A or B home.
The plot measures 154 m², which includes the house. The garden size is not stated separately, but the plot is typical for a terraced house of this era in Ministerpark. The garden is likely to be a manageable size, suitable for outdoor seating and some planting.
