WOZ and address data
There is no WOZ value available for this home, so no comparison with the asking price can be made. The address-level risk data, based on public sources such as Atlas Leefomgeving and the Klimaateffectatlas, gives indications for the area rather than an inspection of this specific property. The noise level from road traffic is 55 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, while railway noise at 40 dB Lden and aircraft noise at 41 dB Lden are both below the standard. The foundation risk indication is medium, partly because the building dates from before 1970. For climate risks, pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, flood risk is low both now and in 2050, and heat stress is medium both now and in 2050.
