The home itself
This listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the agent's description. The home is an apartment with a living area of 51 square metres, according to the BAG registration. The agent has not provided further details about the layout, such as the number of rooms or bedrooms, nor about any outdoor space or installations. The year of construction is 1900, which is a fact about the building's age, but no conclusions about its condition should be drawn from that. The floor area is 56% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 115 square metres, which is a notable difference for anyone considering the space.
