Frequently asked questions
About Fluitstraat 8A, Rotterdam
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €275,000 is 11% above the WOZ value of €248,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is higher than the municipal valuation, but the WOZ value is not the same as the market value. The WOZ value is used for tax purposes and may not reflect the current market conditions.
What is the layout of this apartment?
This ground-floor apartment has four rooms in total, including three bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The living area is 63 m², and there is a balcony as well as a north-facing back garden of 130 m². The home also has double glazing and a central heating boiler.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is F, which is not very efficient. This means you can expect relatively high energy costs for heating and electricity. The home does have double glazing, which helps with insulation, but the overall energy performance is still low.
What is the homeowners' association fee?
The homeowners' association fee is €16,300 per year. This is a significant amount, and it is important to understand what it covers, such as maintenance of common areas, building insurance, and possibly a reserve fund. You should ask the agent for details about the VvE and its financial health.

According to address risk data, the noise level from road traffic is 61 dB, which is above the Dutch norm. Rail traffic noise is 57 dB, also above the norm.

What is the foundation risk for this home?

What is the flood risk for this property?
The current flood risk is low, and the risk in 2050 is also low. However, the pluvial flooding risk, which is flooding from heavy rainfall, is elevated.

Experiences from Oud Mathenesse
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Lots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat where many residents depend on a mobility scooter or wheelchair and are housebound if they get a flat tyre from riding over glass. Cars parked double, especially on Franselaan, or even crazier, parked diagonally on the pavement and cycle path to unload at a Polish supermarket. Speaking to the driver doesn't help because they only speak Polish, as it's a van or truck with Polish plates that keep doing this. Loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan; if you ride over them with a mobility scooter, you're terrified. Life-threatening situation in some places on that street, also for elderly people with limited mobility, because the tiles are simply not laid properly. The flat in the senior complex is excellent, certainly for someone with limited mobility who depends on aids.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 34 years, happy to live here
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here since 1997 and of course the neighbourhood is going downhill but as long as we feel safe we will stay living here.
Auto-translated to English by AII think there is potential in this neighbourhood, there is a warm community but hygiene and aesthetics are really not nice and it is no longer a neighbourhood to live in. I wish more value was placed on the aesthetics of the houses, streets, environment and surroundings.
Auto-translated to English by AIPlummeting
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since I was 20 and as a girl living in that place is not nice, I've had to call the police more often because men wanted sex and shouted sexual things
Auto-translated to English by AINice and especially cosy neighbourhood where a lot happens. It's very lively.

Experiences from Delfshaven
How residents experience their district
It's all fine but nothing special. There is some nuisance from youths, and often litter on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a nice, cosy and multicultural neighbourhood where many different people live together. There are many children, which creates a lively and cheerful atmosphere; it's always nice to see them playing outside. There is a cosy little square in the neighbourhood where many people gather with their children, especially in summer, which creates a real sense of community. Everyone knows each other a bit, and that makes living here pleasant. In the evening it can sometimes be a bit busier and livelier because of young people gathering outside, but overall the atmosphere is good and the neighbourhood feels safe and cosy. All in all, it's a nice neighbourhood with lots of life, diversity and togetherness.

Experiences from Rotterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIed432f34g
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
