Tell us, do you want to buy or rent?

We truly know this area inside and out. Overijse, Hoeilaart, Huldenberg, and Tervuren— we have a personal and professional connection with these places. However, if you have photogenic property in Brussels or Walloon Brabant that you want to sell or rent? Then we won’t say no to a visit. We'll check if we have clients for your property and see if we can add value for you. If that’s the case, we’d be happy to help!

When selling, there are mandatory certificates you must provide: the post-intervention file, the energy performance certificate (EPC), the soil certificate, the urban planning certificate, the electrical installation inspection certificate, the cadastral documents, the asbestos certificate, and information on flood risk. Pffieuw, you might think. No worries, our real estate experts are happy to handle this paperwork for you!

When a seller accepts your offer, Clintimmo puts the property ‘in option.’ During the period that a property is in option, the remaining sale documents, such as the preliminary agreement, are prepared. Once the preliminary agreement is signed and any suspensive conditions are met, the property is officially sold!

Since January 1, 2023, in Flanders, it is mandatory to indicate the flood risk of a property using a P-score for the plot and a G-score for the building when selling or renting (for more than 9 years).

Why the difference? A plot may be at risk of flooding due to a stream at the edge of the plot, but this doesn’t necessarily mean the building is in a flood-prone area.

These scores are divided into four classes, from A (lowest risk) to D (medium risk).

In Flanders, from 2023, there is a renovation obligation for homes and apartments. If you buy a property with an EPC label E or F, you must upgrade the label to D (or better) within five years through renovation work.

Once the seller confirms acceptance of your offer, it is binding. If the seller rejects the offer or makes a counteroffer, the original offer expires.

If you want to make an offer, be sure to keep these tips in mind:

• Make sure you are well-informed: visit your bank beforehand and obtain all necessary information about the property.
• Clearly state an end date and any conditions in your offer.
• Put the offer in writing: Clintimmo uses its own document to help you with your offer. You can request the document by sending an email to info@clintimmo.be.

Here’s a rundown of the additional costs:

• Registration or sales rights: This is the tax you pay for every property purchase. In Flanders, different rates apply under the pre-emption right. The main ones are:
  • Reduced rate: 3% if you are buying your only family home. Note that there are conditions to qualify for this reduced rate.
  • General rate: 12% for other properties, such as second homes and building plots.
    You can find an overview of all rates on the following website:

• VAT instead of registration rights: If you buy a new construction home, you will pay VAT on the construction value and possibly also on the land value. The VAT rate is 21%.
• Notary fees: The notary’s fee is legally set and is a percentage of the property’s value. You also pay a flat fee for administrative costs. You can get an idea of these costs on the following website: Notary Fees Calculator
• Mortgage loan costs: If you take out a loan to buy your property, you’ll pay file fees to your bank. These rates vary by bank.

Absolutely, we can do that. However, our appraisals are exclusively geared towards sales. We assess properties based on the current real estate market and our client base to provide a precise and market-appropriate valuation. If you need an appraisal for inheritance tax purposes, it's advisable to hire a certified appraiser who can determine the exact value of the property.

Certainly not. But we do a lot for you. From complete marketing to a great video, and from advice to legal assistance—only as needed. We offer various service packages, always tailored to your needs. Need legal assistance or an architect for renovations afterward? We bring in the necessary professionals. One point of contact for a totally package service? That’s Clintimmo.
