Frequently asked questions
About Zoomstraat 15-1, Amsterdam
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €695,000 is virtually equal to the WOZ value of €692,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value. Over the past five years, the WOZ value has increased by 55%, from €446,000 in 2020 to €692,000 in 2025. This gives an idea of how the municipal valuation has developed, but the asking price is set by the seller.
What is the layout of this apartment?
The apartment has three rooms in total, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The agent lists the living area as 74 m², while the BAG registration records 72 m².

What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is C. This is a mid-range label, so you can expect moderate energy costs for heating and electricity.

These features may help with comfort, but the label itself indicates the overall energy performance.
What is the foundation risk for this address?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data.
