What the listing tells us
The listing is brief and does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, nor any details about the garden, balcony or insulation. It also does not mention the type of heating or whether there is an owners' association fee. What is clear is the year of construction, 1926, and the energy label G. The floor area is given as 82 m² according to the BAG registration, and the price per m² is based on that figure. Beyond these facts, the listing leaves the layout and condition of the home to the imagination.
