Frequently asked questions
About Van Abbestraat 8, Amsterdam
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €625,000 is virtually equal to the WOZ value, which was set by the municipality on 1 January 2025 at €625,000. This means the asking price closely tracks the official valuation. The WOZ value is a municipal assessment for tax purposes, not a direct market valuation, but the near-identical figures suggest the seller has priced the home in line with the local valuation.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The apartment has an energy label A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have relatively low energy costs compared to less efficient labels. The label is based on the building's characteristics as registered, and it does not say anything about the condition of the installations. For a home of this size, an A label generally points to reasonable energy efficiency.
What is the living area of this apartment?
According to the BAG registration, the living area is 94 m². The agent does not provide a separate floor area in the listing, so the BAG figure is the only one available. This is the basis for the price per square metre of €6,649. The area is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 131 m², which is reflected in the asking price.
What do residents say about living in this area?
Residents of the wider district, Slotervaart-Noord, give an average score of 5.72 out of 10, based on four reviews. One resident mentions that the area is "messy, dirty" and that paving stones are pushed up by tree roots, while another says it is "not a nice neighbourhood" but notes good public transport. These reviews reflect the district as a whole, not necessarily this specific neighbourhood.
What are the noise levels like at this address?
The address-level risk data shows that road traffic noise is 52 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm, and aircraft noise is 49 dB Lden, also above the norm. Railway noise is 41 dB Lden, which stays below the norm. These are area-level indications from public data, not measurements taken at the property itself, so actual noise may vary.
What is the foundation risk for this home?
The foundation risk indication for this address is low, according to public risk data. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of the specific property. The home was built in 1997, which is relatively recent, but the risk level is based on broader geological and historical data for the area, not on the condition of this particular building.
How far is the nearest supermarket and school?
A Lidl is about 650 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is about 670 metres, so groceries are within a short walk. For schools, Het Hervormd Lyceum West (secondary) is about 270 metres, and the Huizingaschool (primary) is about 476 metres. These distances make daily errands and school runs manageable on foot or by bike.
What public transport options are available nearby?
The nearest bus stop is Robert Fruinlaan, about 163 metres away, served by bus line 18 and night bus N83. The metro stop Postjesweg is about 403 metres away, with lines 50 and 51. Amsterdam Lelylaan train station is about 901 metres away, offering national rail connections. This gives good options for getting around the city and beyond.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
The listing does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, or any details about the garden, balcony, or installations. As a result, the description is based on the available facts: the year of construction, the energy label, and the living area from the BAG registration. The absence of these details is not explained in the listing.
