Frequently asked questions

About Albatrosstraat 5, Utrecht

How does the asking price compare with the WOZ value?

The asking price of €395,000 is 15% below the WOZ value of €467,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation for tax purposes, not the current market value. Between 2020 and 2025, the WOZ value rose by 22%, from €384,000 to €467,000. This means the asking price sits below the most recent official valuation, but the market will ultimately decide what the home is worth.

What is the layout of this apartment?

According to the agent, this ground-floor apartment has three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over two floors. The living area is 75 m², with a total volume of 288 m³. There is a rear garden of 43 m², accessible via the back entrance, and the garden faces west. The home is in full ownership, so there is no leasehold ground rent to worry about. The monthly homeowners' association fee is €78.54.

What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?

The energy label is E, which is one of the less efficient labels on the scale. This means you should expect relatively high energy costs for heating and electricity compared with homes with a better label. The agent notes that the home has mostly double glazing and a central heating boiler. The label itself does not say anything about the condition of the building, only about its energy performance.

What is the foundation risk for this address?

The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data from the Klimaateffectatlas and KCAF. The home was built in 1913, before 1970, and in this postcode area 100% of properties were built before 1970. In the wider neighbourhood, 2% of properties have an elevated risk of pile rot. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home.

What are the flood and heat risks for this location?

According to the Klimaateffectatlas, the risk of pluvial flooding (from heavy rain) is elevated, and the current flood risk is also elevated. By 2050, the flood risk is expected to be low.

Why is the asking price lower than the WOZ value?

The asking price of €395,000 is 15% below the WOZ value of €467,000. This is a precomputed comparison from the listing data, and it does not imply that the home is undervalued or overvalued. The WOZ value is a municipal valuation for tax purposes, set on 1 January 2025, and the market price can differ for many reasons, including the condition of the property and current market conditions.
