About Wilhelminastraat 40, Bocholtz
The asking price is €175,000, which is 45% below the average asking price of €318,000 for homes in Bocholtz. However, the house has an energy label G and is from 1910, so renovation costs will be significant. The price per square metre works out at about €493, well below the neighbourhood average of €2,279/m², reflecting the need for modernisation.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have label A or better, while 20% are label D or lower. Upgrading the insulation and heating system would be a major project.
The living area is 355 m², which is 132% larger than the average home in Bocholtz (153 m²). The plot is 170 m². With such a large floor area, there is plenty of space, but the house will need significant updating.
Bocholtz is a quiet village with limited facilities. Residents mention a chip shop, a couple of cafes, and a supermarket, but note that the village is declining and the municipality focuses more on Simpelveld. The area has a mix of ages, with many older residents. The overall review score is 6.88 out of 10 from three reviews.

The nearest train station is 8 km away, so you would need a car or bus for longer journeys.
