WOZ and address data
There is no WOZ value available for this home, so no comparison with the asking price or historical development can be made. The address-level risk data, based on public sources like the Atlas Leefomgeving and Klimaateffectatlas, gives an indication for the area rather than an inspection of this specific property. The noise level from road traffic is 66 dB Lden, which is above the standard, while railway and aircraft noise are below their respective norms. The foundation risk indication is medium, partly because the building dates from before 1970. For climate risks, pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, flood risk is low both now and in 2050, and heat stress is medium for both the current situation and 2050.
