Frequently asked questions
About Vitruviusstraat 182, Leiden
Is €795,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €699,500 and the median of €699,500. However, this home is larger than average (168 m² vs 145 m²) and has an exceptional A+ energy label, which reduces monthly energy costs. The price per square metre works out at about €4,732, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,174 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space and better efficiency.
What does the A+ energy label mean for my bills?
An A+ label is among the best you can get. It means the home is very well insulated and energy-efficient, so heating and electricity costs will be low compared to older homes. In Roomburg, all homes for sale currently have label A, but none have A+, so this one is a standout. You can expect comfortable indoor temperatures without high energy bills.
