The Zoetermeer housing market and the energy label
From the 1970s Zoetermeer grew from a village into a designated new town. As a result most of the housing stock dates from 1970-2010, with an older village core and energy-efficient new-build in Oosterheem. The energy label is closely tied to the building period of each district.
When selling or renting, an official energy label registered in EP-online is required. Our BRL 9500-certified advisor knows the Zoetermeer districts and building years well.
Energy label by neighbourhood in Zoetermeer
The building period largely determines the expected label. The table gives an indication; the final result depends on the specific property and any insulation already in place.
| Neighbourhood | Typical property type | Expected label |
|---|---|---|
| Old village (Dorpsstraat) | Older & pre-war homes | C–E |
| Buytenwegh, De Leyens | New-town homes from the 1970s | C–D |
| Seghwaert, Noordhove | Homes from the 1980s | C |
| Rokkeveen | Homes from the 1990s | B–C |
| Oosterheem & recent new-build | Energy-efficient (partly gas-free) homes | A–B |
A typical 1970s or 1980s new-town home?
A large part of Zoetermeer consists of terraced homes from the new-town period. These often have cavity walls but modest insulation by present standards, usually scoring between C and D. With roof and floor insulation, HR++ glazing and solar panels a jump to B or A is often possible; during the inspection you receive free personal advice.
