WOZ and address data
The WOZ value for this property is not stated in the available data, so no comparison with the asking price can be made here. Looking at the address-level risk indications, the noise from road traffic is measured at 44 dB Lden, which stays below the legal norm, as do the railway noise at 35 dB and aircraft noise at 25 dB. The foundation risk indication for this area is elevated, which is an area-level signal rather than an inspection of this specific home. The soil here is peat, and the groundwater level is expected to drop towards 2050, which can matter for older foundations. For climate, the pluvial flooding risk at heavy rain is elevated, while the current flood risk is low and the heat stress is expected to rise from low to medium by 2050. These are all indications at the area level, not a verdict on this particular property.

Frequently asked questions
About Lokveenweg 31, Haren Gn
What is the asking price for this semi-detached house?
The asking price is €685,000. With a living area of 162 square metres according to the BAG registration, that works out at €4,228 per square metre.

What does the energy label E mean for this home?
The energy label is E, which is one of the less efficient labels on the scale. In practical terms, you can expect higher energy costs than you would with a home that has a better label. The listing does not provide details on insulation or heating installations, so there is no further information available about the energy performance of this specific house.
What is the WOZ value of this property?
The WOZ value is not stated in the available data for this listing. The WOZ is the municipal valuation used for tax purposes, and without it being provided, there is no figure to compare against the asking price or to track over time. The listing simply does not include this information.
What is the foundation risk for this home?
The foundation risk indication for this address is elevated, based on area-level data rather than an inspection of this specific home. The house was built in 1939 on peat soil, which can mean wooden piles or a shallow foundation. The groundwater level is expected to drop towards 2050, which can increase the risk for wooden foundations. This is an indication for the area, not a diagnosis of this property.
