WOZ and address data
No WOZ value is available for this property, so there is no municipal valuation to compare with the asking price. As for address-level risk indications, the noise from road traffic is measured at 56 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch standard, based on 2022 data. The foundation risk indication is medium, partly because the home was built in 1960 on clay soil, which may mean wooden piles or a shallow foundation; this is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home. For climate, the indication for pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, and the flood risk is medium both now and in 2050. Heat stress is currently low but is expected to become medium by 2050. These are all area-level indications from public data sources.
