Frequently asked questions
About van der Helststraat 3, Leeuwarden
Was €259,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price was 19% below the neighbourhood average of €321,038, and also below the median of €267,500. Terraced houses in Leeuwarden typically sell for around €3,614 per m², which would put this home at roughly €343,000 based on size alone. So the price looked keen, especially given the pre-war character and the location next to a park.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. That is fairly typical for a house built in 1931, most homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower (57%). A D label meant the home was not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs would be higher than in a modern home. You can expect to spend more on gas and electricity compared to a label A or B property.
