What the agent tells us
This listing is light on detail. The agent does not state the energy label, and no information is given about the layout, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, or any outdoor space. What we do know is the year of construction and the floor areas, but the absence of further details means there is little to say about the interior or installations. The home is offered for sale at €825,000, and without more specifics, it is hard to judge whether that price reflects the condition of the property.

WOZ and address data
There is no WOZ value available for this property, so we cannot compare the asking price with the municipal valuation. The address-level risk data, however, gives some indications. Road traffic noise is measured at 53 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, while railway noise is at 34 dB Lden, below the standard. The foundation risk indication is low, though the soil is clay, which is sensitive to settlement. For climate, pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, the current flood risk is elevated, and by 2050 the flood risk is low. Heat stress is currently low but is expected to be medium by 2050. These are area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home.

Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I came to live here 3.5 years ago, the neighbourhood was much safer than nowadays, but I can't complain about facilities and accessibility. There's nothing to say about the living itself and the location. But regarding safety: there are many incidents at Castellum around the ATM daily and with drunk homeless people harassing multiple people. This was not the case before to this extent.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is generally very safe, sometimes there are some noisy teenagers but they don't really cause any harm. My neighbours are very friendly, I've become good friends with a few. There isn't much litter on the streets and the green areas are always nice. Everything is easily accessible on foot or by bike. There are many primary schools but the quality varies a bit. As I said at the beginning, there could be more facilities.
