Frequently asked questions
About Borgerstraat 153D, Amsterdam
How does the asking price compare with the WOZ value?
The asking price of €595,000 is 5% below the WOZ value of €627,000, 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 risen by 30%, from €484,000 in 2020 to €627,000 in 2025. This comparison is factual and does not imply that the home is underpriced or overpriced.
What is the layout of this studio?
According to the agent, this studio has three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom. The living area is listed as 76 m², while the BAG registration records 39 m². Both figures come from different sources and are stated as such. The home was built in 1904 and has energy label G, which is the least efficient label, so expect higher energy costs. No garden, balcony or garage is mentioned in the listing.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, which is the least efficient label on the scale. This means you can expect higher energy costs for heating and electricity compared with more efficient homes. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself. The home was built in 1904, and the listing does not mention any insulation measures. In the neighbourhood, most of the homes for sale have a better energy label, but that is not a judgement on this specific property.
What is the foundation risk for this address?
The foundation risk indication for this address is low, according to public data from the Atlas Leefomgeving. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of the home itself. The home was built before 1970, which is a factor in the risk assessment, but the indication remains low. No further details are provided in the listing.
What are the noise levels around this home?
The noise level from road traffic is 52 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Rail traffic noise is 30 dB Lden, and air traffic noise is 47 dB Lden, both below their respective norms.
