How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €325,000 is 13% below the WOZ value of €372,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value.

What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is D. This is not the most efficient label, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The agent notes that the home has HR and HR+ glazing, which helps with insulation. However, the label itself does not tell you about the overall condition of the building.

The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data. The home was built in 1967 on clay soil, which may involve wooden piles or a shallow foundation.
