The asking price of €420,000 is 6% above the WOZ value of €397,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the seller is asking a bit more than the municipal valuation. The WOZ value has risen significantly over the past five years, from €264,000 in 2020 to €397,000 in 2025, an increase of 50%. Whether the asking price is justified depends on the market and the condition of the home.

According to the agent, this apartment has four rooms in total: three bedrooms and one bathroom. The living area is 82 square metres according to the agent, while the BAG registration lists 83 square metres. The home was built in 1982 and has an energy label B. There is no mention of a garden or balcony in the listing, so it's likely you'll rely on nearby public spaces.

The energy label is B, which is an efficient label. This means the home is relatively well insulated and you can expect moderate energy costs compared to less efficient homes. However, the label does not guarantee low bills, as your actual usage and the condition of the heating system also play a role. It's a good starting point for estimating your monthly outgoings.

The address data shows that the noise from road traffic is 34 dB Lden, and from air traffic 44 dB Lden, both below the legal standard.

The foundation risk indication for this address is low, and the soil type is sand. This suggests that the risk of foundation problems is limited, but it's an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific property. If you're concerned, you could look into the history of the building, but the data points to a low risk.

The climate data indicates a medium risk for pluvial flooding (heavy rain) and heat stress, both now and in 2050. The flood risk from the sea or rivers is low, both currently and in 2050. These are area-level indications, so they don't tell you exactly what will happen at this address, but they give a general picture of the climate resilience of the area.
