Frequently asked questions
About Wassenaarseweg 179, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €850,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price was above the neighbourhood median of €535,000, but this home was much larger than average (224 m² vs 124 m²). The price per m² worked out to about €3,795, which was below the neighbourhood average of €5,602 per m². So while the total price was high, you were getting significantly more space for your money.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label D. This is common for a 1938 house, in the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label D or lower. Label D meant moderate energy efficiency; heating costs would be higher than in a modern home, but the thick pre-war walls often provide good insulation. You may want to consider future improvements.
