What the listing tells us
The listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing. The home itself is an apartment from 2011, which means it is relatively recent compared with much of the housing stock in Ommoord, where 84 percent of homes were built between 1970 and 1990. The agent gives no further details about the layout, outdoor space or installations, so the description is limited to what is known: a 107-square-metre apartment in a building from 2011.
