The asking price of €475,000 is 14% below the WOZ value of €550,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is lower than the municipal valuation. The WOZ value is not the same as the market value, but it is often used as a reference point. The price per square metre, based on the agent's floor area of 65 m², is €7,308, which is below the neighbourhood average of €9,389 per m².

According to the agent, the apartment has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The living area is listed as 65 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 61 m². The home has double glazing and a central heating boiler. It is part of a homeowners' association with a monthly contribution of €393.13. The property is on municipal ground lease, with the lease ending on 15 October 2046, and the annual canon is €455.58, which can be bought off.

The energy label is E. This is not the most efficient label, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to homes with better labels. The home does have double glazing, which helps with insulation. However, the label itself does not tell you about the overall insulation quality of the building. It is a fact about the home's energy performance, and you should consider the potential heating and electricity bills when budgeting.

The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data. This is because the building was constructed before 1970, specifically in 1923. The KCAF attention area indicates that 100% of the properties in this postcode area were built before 1970. This is an indication at the area level, not an inspection of this specific home. It means there is a possibility of foundation issues, but it does not confirm any problems with this particular property.

According to area-level data, the road traffic noise is 50 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard. Railway noise is 41 dB Lden, and aircraft noise is 43 dB Lden, both below their respective standards. This means road traffic is the main noise source that exceeds the norm. These are indications at the address level, not measurements inside the home. If you are sensitive to noise, you may want to consider this, but it is not a definitive assessment of the indoor sound environment.
