WOZ and address data
The WOZ value is not stated in the available data, so no comparison with the asking price or historical development can be made here. The address-level risk data from public sources (Atlas Leefomgeving, KCAF, Klimaateffectatlas) gives area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home. Road traffic noise is 46 dB Lden, railway noise 34 dB Lden, and aircraft noise 44 dB Lden, all below the relevant standards. The foundation risk indication is low, though the soil is peat, which is sensitive to settling, and 4% of properties in this area have an elevated risk of pile rot according to the Klimaateffectatlas. Flood risk is low for both the current situation and 2050, while heat stress is medium for both periods.
