Frequently asked questions
About Oudegracht 84G, Utrecht
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The WOZ value is €940,000 as of 1 January 2025, and the asking price of €929,500 is 1% below that.

What is the living area of this apartment?
According to the BAG registration, the living area is 155 m². This is the basis for the price per m² of €5,997. The agent has not published a separate floor area, so the BAG figure is the only one available. This makes the home significantly larger than the neighbourhood average of 74 m².
What is the energy label of this home?
The agent has not published this information, so it is unknown. This means you cannot assess the home's energy efficiency from the listing alone. The home was built in 1898, which may give some indication of its construction, but no conclusions can be drawn without the label.
What is the foundation risk for this address?

How noisy is the location?
The road traffic noise level is 59 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Railway noise is 33 dB Lden and aircraft noise is 41 dB Lden, both below their respective norms. These figures are area-level indications from 2022 and 2023, not measurements taken at this specific property. The canal location in the city centre may come with some ambient noise.
What are the flooding and heat stress risks?
Pluvial flooding risk is elevated, meaning there is a higher chance of flooding from heavy rainfall. Flood risk from rivers is low now and is expected to remain low in 2050.
