About Pastoriedijk 195, Pernis Rotterdam
How does the asking price compare with the WOZ value?
The asking price of €225,000 is 36% below the WOZ value of €353,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value, and it has risen sharply in recent years. This gap is notable, but it does not automatically mean the home is underpriced or overpriced; it simply reflects the difference between the asking price and the official valuation.

The home has HR glazing and a central heating boiler, and it is freehold.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared with more efficient homes. The home has HR glazing, which helps with insulation, but the label itself does not tell you about the overall condition of the property. It is a fact about the home's energy performance, not a judgement on its structural state.

In the area, 1% of properties have an elevated risk of pile rot, according to the Klimaateffectatlas. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home.

The pluvial flooding risk (from heavy rain) is elevated, while the flood risk from rivers or the sea is low, both now and in 2050.
