What is the layout of this apartment?
This is a ground-floor apartment with two rooms, one bedroom, and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The living area is 52 m² according to the agent, while the BAG registration records 55 m². There is a rear garden of 10 m² facing northwest. The home is a benedenwoning, meaning it is a ground-floor dwelling within a larger building.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is C. This label indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency, so you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. The agent notes that the home has partial double glazing and floor insulation, which may help with energy retention. However, the label itself does not guarantee specific costs, as these depend on usage and energy prices.
What is the foundation risk for this home?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium. This is based on the fact that the building was constructed before 1970, specifically in 1880, and the area is a KCAF attention area where 100% of properties in the postcode area were built before 1970. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home, so it does not confirm any actual foundation issues.
What are the noise levels like at this address?
According to address-level risk data, road traffic noise is measured at 52 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise standard. Railway noise is 22 dB Lden and aircraft noise is 18 dB Lden, both below the standard. These figures are area-level indications based on public data, not measurements taken at the property itself.
