How to read the grades

Each theme scores from 0 to 100, with a letter from A to E. Higher is always better for the buyer — so on Costs, a low score means expensive. The overall figure is the average of the theme scores, not a ranking.

Attention

1747Pre-war, built with no insulation requirements

Asbestos

Built in 1747: asbestos was still permitted in construction at the time — have this checked during the building survey.

Lead water pipes

Built in 1747: lead water pipes were still sometimes used in this period — ask the surveyor to check for this.

Cavity wall insulation

Built in 1747: homes from this period typically do not yet have cavity wall insulation — worth asking about during the survey, also relevant for energy costs.

Build-year points of attention

For a dwelling built in 1747, there are 3 points to raise during the building survey: possible asbestos use, possible lead water pipes, possibly no cavity wall insulation.

The series starts in 2023: this buurt was given a different code then, so older figures cannot be linked to it.

Figures from CBS Kerncijfers Wijken en Buurten for the buurt Felix Meritisbuurt (2,045 residents). Percentages are calculated over the sum of the categories shown, not over the total population: CBS rounds every count to a multiple of five, so the two need not be equal. Not every block comes from the same edition; each block states which edition it comes from. A published 0 means 0, 1 or 2 residents, not 'none'. Every figure describes the neighbourhood as a whole, not a street, a household or a person. Editions read: 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.

Crimes are counted where they happen, not where those involved live: a buurt with shops, nightlife or a station also counts offences against people who do not live there. CBS does not publish four crime types at buurt level (sexual offences among them); these are included in the total and in the 'other and withheld' category, but cannot be shown separately.

The buurt (neighbourhood) of Felix Meritisbuurt — not the street or the address — from CBS/Politie 47018NED. The trend shows registered crimes per 1,000 residents per year over the last 7 published years. Every year is divided by the same population (2,115), because no matching population figure is available for earlier years: the line therefore shows how recorded crime moved, not how crime per resident moved. The breakdown by type covers 2025, divided by 2,115 residents, times 1,000. The 'other and withheld' category is the published total minus the summed categories, so the bars add up to the total exactly.

Land subsidence

Little to no ground movement (−1.2 mm/year)

Wooden pile foundation attention point

Built in 1747, in an urban area where the national soil map cannot make a reliable classification (possibly vulnerable): dwellings from before 1970 sometimes have a wooden pile foundation. Check whether the municipality publishes its own, more precise foundation map, and have the foundation checked during a building survey. If foundation replacement turns out to be needed, the indicative cost range typically runs EUR 60,000 to EUR 120,000 per dwelling (depending on size and repair method) — this is NOT a cost estimate for this specific dwelling.
