De Schout 3

The asking price of €895,000 is 4% above the WOZ value of €857,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value. Over the past five years, the WOZ value has increased by 62%, from €530,000 in 2020 to €857,000 in 2025. This gives you a sense of how the property has appreciated, but the asking price is what the seller is currently asking.

According to the agent, the home has five rooms, including three bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over three floors. The total living area is 104 m² as listed by the agent, while the BAG registration gives 103 m². The plot is 330 m². There is a garden at the front, side and rear, and a detached brick garage. The property is freehold, so you own the house and the land outright.

The energy label is D. This is not the most efficient label, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared with homes with better labels. The agent notes that the home has roof insulation, wall insulation and secondary glazing, which can help with keeping the home warm. The heating is provided by a central heating boiler. The label itself does not tell you about the condition of the building, only its energy performance.

The foundation risk indication for this address is low, according to public data. The soil type is sand, which is generally stable. This is an area-level indication based on public sources, not an inspection of this specific home. The home was built in 1958, which is before 1970, but the low risk indication suggests that foundation issues are not a major concern at this address.

The noise level from road traffic is 53 dB Lden, which is above the standard, according to data from 2022. Aircraft noise is 44 dB Lden, which is below the standard. These are area-level indications, not measurements taken at the property itself. If you are sensitive to noise, you may want to consider the road traffic level, but the aircraft noise is within the norm.

One resident of the district gives it a perfect score of 10 out of 10, saying: "I learn a lot from my neighbours, and it's very cosy to chat with them. They are super kind and help me when needed." This is based on a single review, so it is a personal view. The neighbourhood has around 1,760 residents, with a large share of older people, and the housing stock is mostly pre-war.

The asking price per m² is €8,606, based on the agent's living area of 104 m². The average asking price per m² in the neighbourhood is €8,787, so this home is slightly below that average. The average living area in the neighbourhood is 165 m², while this home has 104 m², which is 37% smaller. This explains why the total asking price is lower than the neighbourhood average.
