Begoniastraat 2

The asking price of €849,000 was 21% above the WOZ value of €702,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation for tax purposes, not the current market value. This difference is a factual comparison; whether it is justified depends on the property's condition and the market.

The house has four rooms in total: three bedrooms and two bathrooms, spread over three floors. The living area was 86 m² according to the agent, while the BAG registration listed 89 m². The plot is 94 m². There is a garden at the rear, accessible via the back. The property is heated by a central heating boiler.

The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This meant the home was likely to have relatively low energy costs compared to less efficient labels. However, the label does not guarantee the actual condition of the insulation or installations; it is an indication based on the property's characteristics.

The property is held under municipal ground lease (erfpacht) with an end date of 18 May 2071. The canon has been paid off until that date, so there are no annual ground lease payments due until then. After that, the situation will depend on the municipality's policy at the time.

According to public data, the noise level from road traffic is 62 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch standard. Railway noise is 41 dB Lden and aircraft noise is 46 dB Lden, both below the standard. These are area-level indications, not measurements at the property itself.

The foundation risk indication is medium. This is based on the fact that the property was built before 1970, and the entire postcode area is designated as a KCAF attention area, with 100% of buildings constructed before 1970. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home.

The climate risk data shows that pluvial flooding (from heavy rain) is elevated, while flood risk from rivers or the sea is low both now and in 2050. Heat stress is low currently but is expected to become medium by 2050. These are area-level indications based on climate models.

The Van der Pekbuurt is a dense, early-twentieth-century neighbourhood with a mix of residents. According to CBS data, it has 4,645 inhabitants, with a high proportion of single-person households (54%). Residents across the municipality of Amsterdam rate their living environment 7.35 out of 10, mentioning green spaces and quiet streets, though some note issues with waste management.

The asking price per square metre was €9,872, based on the agent's living area of 86 m². This was higher than the neighbourhood average asking price per square metre of €8,054. The average living area in the neighbourhood is 48 m², so this home is significantly larger than the typical property.
