The apartment itself
The listing gives few details about the interior, so the picture is limited. The apartment was built in 1964 and has an energy label C, which means it is neither the most nor the least efficient label. The living area is 74 square metres according to the BAG registration, and the price per square metre is based on that figure. There is no mention of the number of rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms, nor of any garden, balcony, or garage. The agent does not state whether there is insulation, a particular heating system, or an owners' association fee. What is clear is that this is a compact apartment from the mid-1960s, and the asking price reflects that.
