The first decision is whether this Utrecht apartment warrants an appointment, and the trade-off is its generous stated size against several details that remain unverified. It is a 2-bed offered at €404,800, with approximately 105 m² and an average-to-good general condition.

Viewings can be arranged by appointment. Before booking, buyers may want to ask for the formal floor-area measurement, title and lease information, service charges and energy performance. It would also be useful to confirm what fixtures remain, whether parking is connected to the property and what the condition description means for the kitchen, bathroom, windows and finishes.
 
The floor area makes this interesting, but “approximately” leaves too much room for doubt at this price. Is there a formal floor-area measurement available, and does the 105 m² include any storage or other space outside the apartment itself?
 
I would ask about the recurring costs before judging the asking price. What are the service charges, and is there any information on what they cover? The energy performance could also materially change the monthly running costs.
 
Area and legal position are both plausible starting points. For me, though, a modest correction to the 105 m² would be less serious than discovering restrictive or uncertain title or lease terms.

I would request those documents before committing time to a viewing, then verify the measurement and recurring costs if the ownership position is satisfactory. The legal issue is harder to remedy after purchase; a small measurement discrepancy can at least be reflected in the price.
 
Both matter, but they can be handled in order: confirm what the 105 m² represents, then examine the title and lease details. Could the seller also give more specific condition notes? “Average to good” does not indicate whether the kitchen, bathroom, windows or finishes need attention.
 
Please clarify what stays with the apartment as well. Included fixtures can affect how much work and expense follows the purchase. Parking is another practical point: is any space connected to the property, or should buyers assume none unless confirmed?
 
Since viewings are by appointment and questions are requested first, it would help to answer the basic document points in one update: verified internal area, energy performance, service charges, lease length and title availability. Prospective buyers could then decide whether the condition and any excluded fixtures are worth inspecting in person.
 
One caveat: documents will narrow the uncertainties, but they won’t replace seeing an apartment described only as average to good. Once the floor area, lease/title position and ongoing charges are clarified, the sensible next step is a viewing focused on condition, storage, included items and the actual parking situation.
