What the agent tells us
This listing does not state the energy label. As a result, you cannot judge the home's energy efficiency from the listing alone. The home was built in 1952 and is a new build according to the agent, which is a curious combination. The agent describes it as a two-room, one-bedroom, one-bathroom property on a single floor, with a volume of 246 cubic metres. There is a balcony, and the home is located on the second living floor. The living area is 88 square metres, both according to the BAG registration and the agent's listing, so there is no discrepancy there. The plot, however, is a spacious 4,812 square metres, which is a notable feature for a terraced house.

Daily life and getting around
For daily errands, the nearest primary school, De Leeuwerik, is just around the corner, and a childcare centre is a couple of streets away. The nearest supermarkets, including Jumbo and Poiesz, are a bit further out, about a ten-minute walk or more, so a car or bike is handy for groceries. The GP practice, Huisartsenpraktijk Arentsen en Groeneveld, is in Lemmer, roughly a ten-minute drive, and the pharmacy, Service Apotheek De Waag Lemmer, is nearby. For public transport, the bus stop Rutten, Lemsterpoort is on your doorstep, with bus line 77. The nearest train station is in Wolvega, which is a longer trip. This is all part of the municipality of Noordoostpolder's rural setting, where amenities are spread out but accessible. However, the address does come with some risk indications from public data, which are area-level indications rather than an inspection of this specific home. The noise level from road traffic is 52 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, based on 2022 data. The foundation risk indication is medium, partly because the home was built before 1970, in 1952, and 92% of properties in this postcode area are also pre-1970. The soil type is sand. For climate risks, pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, the current flood risk is medium, and it stays medium in 2050. Heat stress is currently low but is expected to become medium by 2050.

It suggests that road traffic noise could be noticeable, but the actual experience may vary depending on the exact position of the home and its insulation.
What is the foundation risk for this home?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium. This is based on the fact that the home was built before 1970, in 1952, and that 92% of properties in this postcode area are also pre-1970.
