WOZ value and address data

The WOZ value is not stated in the available data, so no comparison with the asking price can be made. The address data shows that the home is in an area with elevated foundation risk, according to area-level indications. This is based on the fact that the home was built in 1912 on clay soil, which may involve wooden piles or a shallow foundation. In this postcode area, 60% of buildings were constructed before 1970, and 17% of properties in the neighbourhood have an elevated risk of pile rot, according to the Klimaateffectatlas. These are indications at the area level, not an inspection of this specific home. The noise level from road traffic is 63 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, while railway and aircraft noise are below the standard. The risk of pluvial flooding is low, as is the current flood risk, but heat stress is expected to become medium by 2050.
