A home with a split personality
This listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the agent's description. The home itself is a five-room, two-bedroom townhouse spread over three floors, with a volume of 480 m³. According to the agent, it has a rear garden and a sun terrace, and it is described as being on a busy road in the centre. The floor area is a point of divergence: the BAG registration records 51 m² of living space, while the agent lists 160 m². Both figures are given here as they come from different sources, and no further explanation is offered.

WOZ and address data
There is no WOZ value available for this property, so no municipal valuation is stated.

The foundation risk indication is elevated, as the home was built in 1914 on clay soil, which may involve wooden piles or a shallow foundation, and the groundwater level is expected to drop by 2050, increasing the risk for wooden foundations. For climate risks, pluvial flooding is indicated as elevated, while flood risk is low both now and in 2050, and heat stress is low now but medium by 2050.
