Additionally, there is an advance payment for heating costs amounting to 161,42 euros per month due to the block heating system.

It has a flat roof and features HR glass, which stands for high efficiency double glazing, contributing to better insulation. The energy label of the property is C, which is a decent rating for a building of this age.
