THE QUESTION
Priced ~9% above our €326k estimate; 1 red flag, 4 warnings before you bid.
Here's my honest read before you bid. The asking of €355,000 is about 9% above where the comparable sales actually land. I'm fairly confident in that, with 10 nearby sales behind it. There is 1 red flag here I wouldn't ignore — the full report names it and what to do. Don't let any “moving fast” pressure rush you — the numbers give you room to bid sensibly and walk away if it runs past what it's worth.
01One fails a health screen — and names the test to order — graded a red flag.
02One likely affects your buildings-insurance quote — graded a warning.
03One is a structural risk pattern for this era and area — graded a warning.
