The home itself
The listing does not provide details on the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space. What is known is that the apartment was built in 1961 and carries an energy label D. Label D sits in the middle of the scale, so expect moderate energy costs. In a neighbourhood where 71.4% of the homes for sale have an energy label A+ or better, this property is less efficient than most of the current supply. The asking price per m² of €3,472 is 49% below the neighbourhood average of €6,810 per m², which reflects the older construction and lower energy performance.

WOZ and address data
No WOZ value is available for this property, so there is no municipal valuation to compare with the asking price. The address-level risk data from public sources (Atlas Leefomgeving, KCAF, Klimaateffectatlas) provides area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home. Road traffic noise is measured at 62 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, based on 2022 data. Railway noise is 37 dB Lden, aircraft noise 39 dB Lden, and industrial noise 47 dB Lden, all below their respective standards. The foundation risk indication is low, though the home was built in 1961 on clay soil, which may mean wooden piles or a shallow foundation. For pluvial flooding at heavy rain, the indication is elevated, while current flood risk and flood risk in 2050 are both low. Heat stress is currently low but is expected to become medium by 2050.
