Property advice

A property project needs preparation. Here are the key points I share with my clients, so you can move forward calmly and avoid unpleasant surprises.

Selling

A well-prepared property, priced right, sells faster and on better terms.

Get your property valued based on recent sales in your municipality, not on prices advertised online.
Prepare the energy performance certificate: it is mandatory to put a property on the market.
Gather your documents: title deed, plans, invoices for major works and, for an apartment, the co-ownership documents.
Present it well: a tidy, bright, decluttered interior and good-quality photos.
Plan your timeline: allow several weeks between the preliminary sales agreement and the deed at the notary.

Well prepared, you’ll be able to act quickly when the right property comes along.

Confirm your financing early with your bank, so you know your real budget.
Budget for acquisition costs (registration duties, notary fees) on top of the purchase price.
Look into available support, such as the tax credit on registration duties (« Bëllegen Akt ») for a main residence.
View methodically: condition of the roof, heating and insulation, energy class, surroundings and commuting.
Don’t commit too quickly: the preliminary sales agreement binds both parties, so have it reviewed and include the conditions you need (such as obtaining a loan).

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, a clear framework avoids a lot of friction.

Landlords: set a rent in line with the market and the property, and select applications carefully.
A detailed inventory at move-in and move-out protects both parties.
A complete written lease: rent, charges, rental deposit, duration and termination conditions.
Tenants: prepare a complete file (ID, employment contract, payslips) to stand out.

Every situation is different. I take the time to advise you, with no obligation.
