Financial Exposure · 39% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
Value Enhancement Opportunity: Upgrading the B3 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €1,000-€2,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €3,000-€5,000.
Energy Cost Savings: A B3 BER rating typically results in annual energy costs of €1,400-€1,800, compared to €1,000-€1,400 for a B2 rating, offering potential annual savings of €400.
Spacious Apartment: With 84m² of living space and 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this apartment offers a good balance of space and configuration for its size.
Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER rating and its current market positioning, investing in targeted energy efficiency upgrades, such as enhancing insulation or upgrading to a B2 rating, could yield a return on investment of 150-250% through increased resale value and reduced energy costs, especially if similar properties in the area achieve higher BER ratings.
