What is the layout of this apartment?
According to the agent, this apartment has four rooms, including three bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over one floor. The living area is 71 m² per the agent, while the BAG registration lists 75 m². It is located on the second floor and has a balcony. The home is freehold, with an HOA fee of €132.24 per month.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is C. This label indicates moderate energy efficiency, so you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. The agent notes that the home is largely double-glazed, which can help with insulation. However, the label itself does not tell you the exact condition of the construction, so it's best to consider the label as a general indicator of energy performance.
What is the foundation risk for this home?
The foundation risk indication for this address is elevated, based on area-level data. This is because the home was built in 1950 on clay soil, and the area is a KCAF attention zone, with 100% of properties built before 1970. Additionally, 3% of properties in the neighbourhood have an elevated risk of pile rot, and groundwater levels are expected to drop by 2050, which can affect wooden foundations. This is an indication, not an inspection of this specific home.
What amenities are within walking distance?
Several supermarkets are close by: Jumbo is on your doorstep, AH to go is just around the corner, and Lidl is a five-minute walk.

Is there a risk of flooding?
The pluvial flooding risk (from heavy rain) is low, while the flood risk from other sources is medium, both currently and in 2050. These are area-level indications from the Klimaateffectatlas, not specific to this property. It's always wise to consider these factors when making a decision, but they do not necessarily mean the home will experience flooding.
