What is the layout of this apartment?
According to the agent, the apartment has seven rooms, including four bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over two floors.

The home has partial double glazing and a central heating boiler.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is D. This is not the most efficient label, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The home has partial double glazing, which may help with insulation, but the label itself indicates that the property is not among the most energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, 45% of homes have an A+ label, so this home is less efficient than many others in the area.
What is the WOZ value of this property?
The WOZ value is the municipal valuation used for tax purposes, and it is not available here. Without this figure, it is not possible to compare the asking price to the official valuation.
What are the risks related to foundation and flooding?
Area-level risk data indicates a medium foundation risk, which is common in areas with peat soil and older buildings. The home was built in 1961, and 38% of properties in the postcode area date from before 1970. The risk of pluvial flooding is low, as is the current flood risk, though heat stress is expected to become medium by 2050. These are area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home.

Why are there no property details in this listing?
The listing does include property details, such as the number of rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms, as well as the living area and outdoor space. The absence of the WOZ value means it is not possible to compare the asking price to the municipal valuation.
