The asking price of €275,000 is 42% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which is €476,586. The median asking price is €485,000, and prices range from €235,000 to €895,000. This studio is at the lower end of that range, reflecting its compact size. The average price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €5,226, while this home is listed at €7,857 per square metre based on the agent's floor area.

According to the agent, the home has two rooms, one bedroom, and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The living area is listed as 35 m², but the BAG registration records 44 m². The home also has a French balcony. It is located on the second floor of the building. The volume is 127 m³. The agent states that the home is fully insulated, including roof, wall, and floor insulation.

The energy label is A+, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have lower energy costs compared to less efficient labels. The agent also notes that the home has roof, wall, and floor insulation, which contributes to its efficiency. In the neighbourhood, only 10.3% of homes for sale have an A+ label, so this is relatively uncommon.

The WOZ value is the municipal valuation used for taxes, and it is not always included in property listings. Without this figure, it is not possible to compare the asking price to the official valuation. You may find the WOZ value through the municipality's records.

The address risk data shows that noise from road traffic is 46 dB Lden, from rail traffic 32 dB Lden, and from air traffic 37 dB Lden, all below the legal standards. These are area-level indications based on public data, not measurements at the property itself. The home is in a busy urban area, so some ambient noise is likely, but the levels are within norms.

The foundation risk indication is medium. This is based on the fact that the building was constructed before 1970, specifically in 1928, and the entire postcode area is designated as a KCAF attention area, with 100% of buildings built before 1970. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific property. It suggests that foundation issues could be a consideration, but it does not confirm any problems.

The climate risk data indicates that pluvial flooding (from heavy rain) is elevated, and the flood risk is elevated both currently and in 2050. Heat stress is currently medium, but is projected to be elevated by 2050. These are area-level indications from the Klimaateffectatlas, not specific to this home. They suggest that the area could be affected by water and heat events, but no specific consequences are stated.
