Per square metre, the price is €4,582, while the neighbourhood average for apartments is €3,915 per square metre, a difference of 17%. The price verdict is based on the neighbourhood average asking price and is precomputed, so it reflects the market position rather than an opinion.
What is the layout of this apartment?

The living area is 97 square metres according to the BAG registration, while the agent lists it as 98 square metres. There is a balcony, and the home is fully insulated with double glazing.

What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is B, which is an efficient label. This means the home is relatively energy-efficient compared with less efficient labels, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The agent states that the home has double glazing and is fully insulated, which supports the label. However, the label itself does not guarantee specific costs, as actual usage and energy prices will influence your bills.
What is the ground lease situation?
The home is held under municipal ground lease, with the lease paid off until 1 January 2043. This means the ground lease has been prepaid for the period up to that date, so no annual ground rent is due until then. After 2043, the situation will depend on the municipality's policy at that time. The agent lists this as a feature of the property.
What is the homeowners' association contribution?
The monthly homeowners' association contribution is €295. This amount is stated in the listing and covers the costs of the shared parts of the building, such as maintenance of common areas and possibly insurance.
