Keetgracht 16

The asking price of €795,000 is 30% above the WOZ value of €613,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation for tax purposes, not the current market value. The difference is a fact, not a judgement; it is up to you to decide what it means for your offer.

According to the agent, the house has five rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, spread over three floors. There is also a sunny terrace, a roof terrace and an integral garage. The property is fully owned. The BAG registration records a living area of 214 m², while the agent lists 119 m²; the difference is not explained.

The energy label is C. This is a mid-range label, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The agent also mentions that the home has roof, wall and floor insulation, as well as a central heating boiler and partial underfloor heating. These are separate facts; the label does not tell you about the condition of the building.

The foundation risk indication for this address is medium. This is based on area-level data, not an inspection of this specific home. The house was built in 1914, and 71% of properties in this postcode area were built before 1970, which is a factor in the risk assessment. No further details are available.

The noise level from road traffic is 58 dB Lden, which is above the guideline. Rail traffic noise is 31 dB Lden and air traffic noise is 37 dB Lden, both below the guideline. These figures come from public data for the area, not from measurements at the property itself.

Residents across the municipality give their area an average score of 7.54, but some reviews mention noise and a lack of community spirit. These are municipal-level opinions, not specific to this street.

Between 2020 and 2025, the WOZ value increased by 28%, from €479,000 to €613,000. The value rose steadily until 2022, dipped slightly in 2023, and then climbed again to the current level. This shows the general trend in the area, but it does not predict future changes.
