About Cortenaerstraat 4, Leidschendam
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €489,000 is 8% above the WOZ value of €454,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is higher than the municipal valuation, but the WOZ value is not the same as the market value. The WOZ is an official estimate used for taxation, and the actual sale price can differ from both figures.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is a middle-of-the-range label, meaning the home is not the most efficient but also not the least.

The label is based on the building's characteristics, not on the current condition of the installations.
What is the foundation risk for this address?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium. This is an area-level indication based on the fact that the home was built in 1955 on peat soil, and that 95% of the buildings in this postcode area were built before 1970. It is not an inspection of this specific home, so it does not tell you the actual condition of the foundation here.

The noise level from road traffic is 59 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise standard. Railway noise is 31 dB Lden and aircraft noise is 24 dB Lden, both below their respective standards. These are area-level indications based on public data, not measurements taken at the property itself.
