The median asking price here is €500,000, and prices range from €425,000 to €1,275,000. So this home is priced at the lower end of the local market, which may reflect its size and age.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The home has an energy label C. This is a mid-range label, so you can expect moderate energy costs for heating and electricity.

If you want to reduce costs, you could consider improvements, but the label alone does not indicate any specific issues.
Is there a WOZ value available for this home?

What is the foundation risk in this area?
The public address data indicates a medium foundation risk for this area. This is an area-level signal based on the soil type, which is clay, and the fact that many homes here were built before 1970.
