Mercuriusstraat 8

The asking price of €315,000 is 18% above the WOZ value of €267,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation for tax purposes, not the current market value. The price difference is a fact, and whether it is justified depends on the condition and features of the home, which you can assess yourself.

According to the agent, the home has four rooms, including three bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over two floors. The living area is listed as 81 square metres by the agent, while the BAG registration records 90 square metres. The plot is 147 square metres. There is a front and back garden, with the back garden facing northwest and accessible via the back alley.

The energy label is D. This label indicates that the home is not among the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The agent mentions roof insulation, double glazing and wall insulation, which may help.

The noise levels from road traffic are 48 dB Lden, from rail 33 dB Lden, and from industry 45 dB Lden, all below the relevant standards. These are area-level indications based on public data, not measurements at the property itself. So while the home is on a quiet road, the surrounding noise environment is within normal limits.

The foundation risk indication is low, based on area-level data. The home was built in 1930, and the soil type is sand. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific property. It means that, according to public data, the risk of foundation issues in this area is low, but it does not guarantee the condition of this particular home.

For climate risks, pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, while flood risk from rivers or the sea is low now and in 2050. Heat stress is low now but medium by 2050. These are area-level indications from the Klimaateffectatlas, not predictions for this specific property. They give an idea of how the area may be affected by climate change.
