Hoogstraat 21

The asking price of €270,000 is 7% below the WOZ value of €289,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value. This means the asking price is lower than the official valuation, but that doesn't automatically make it a bargain. The price per square metre is €3,214, based on the agent's living area of 84 m².

According to the agent, the house has four rooms: three bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over two floors. The living area is listed as 84 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 105 m². The plot measures 145 m². There is a garden at the rear, accessible via the back alley and facing east. The property is a freehold, so you own the land outright.

The energy label is F. This is one of the least efficient labels, so you can expect higher energy costs for heating and electricity. The agent mentions roof insulation, double glazing for the most part, and floor insulation, plus a central heating boiler and partial underfloor heating. However, the label itself doesn't tell you the exact condition of the insulation or installations.

The address-level risk data, which are area-level indications rather than an inspection of this specific home, show the following: noise from road traffic is 47 dB Lden and from rail traffic 19 dB Lden, both below the norm. The foundation risk indication is low, and the soil type is sand. For climate, pluvial flooding is low, flood risk is low now and in 2050, and heat stress is low now but medium by 2050.

Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Lidl and Jumbo a couple of streets away. The Alfonsusschool is a five-minute walk, and there are several other primary schools nearby. The nearest GP is Huisartsenpraktijk Khawar, and the Centrum Apotheek is just down the road. For public transport, bus line 3 stops on your doorstep at C.F. Klaarstraat, and Enschede train station is a ten-minute walk.

Hogeland-Noord is a mixed, central neighbourhood with a real city feel. Residents of the district give it an average score of 6.95 out of 10, based on ten reviews. One resident says: "It's a nice neighbourhood with plenty of amenities, there are many different family compositions and the residents are approachable and pleasant to interact with."

Some residents mention crime such as theft and car break-ins in the immediate vicinity.

The asking price of €270,000 is 35% below the average asking price of €416,500 for homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. The average price per square metre is €3,572, while this home is listed at €3,214 per m². However, the living area of 84 m² is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 115 m², so the lower total price partly reflects the smaller size.

The house has three bedrooms and one bathroom, which could work for a small family. The living area is 84 m² according to the agent, and there is a garden at the rear. However, the energy label is F, so energy costs may be higher. Whether it suits a family depends on your needs and budget.

Bus line 3 stops on your doorstep at C.F. Klaarstraat, and bus lines 505 and 6 are also nearby. Enschede train station is a ten-minute walk away, offering connections to the wider region. The neighbourhood is easily accessible, though one resident noted that getting to more central parts of the district can require a detour.

The property is a freehold, meaning you own the land and the building outright. There is no leasehold, so you don't have to pay ground rent. This is stated in the agent's listing.
