Yes. First-time buyers get the most from Easyhome’s guidance, from viewings to the offer, the compromis and the deed. First buyers of an own and sole home in Wallonia also benefit from the reduced 3% registration duty since 1 January 2025, which lowers the entry cost significantly. Source: Lydian 2025.
A first purchase is the one where every term is new, and that is exactly where Easyhome’s support is most useful. A first-time buyer typically has never seen a compromis, does not know that accepting an offer is already binding, and underestimates how much cash is needed beyond the price. Easyhome walks through each of these before they become a problem.
There is also a concrete financial advantage for first buyers in Wallonia. Since 1 January 2025, a natural person buying their own and sole home pays registration duty at 3% instead of the old 12.5%, provided they meet the occupation conditions (main residence within three years, held for at least three years).

The counter-intuitive lesson for first buyers is about cash, not price. Belgian banks rarely finance 100%, so you generally need own funds to cover the costs and part of the price, with fixed mortgage rates around 3% to 3.5% over 20 to 25 years in 2026.

Easyhome’s advisers, spread across seven Walloon offices, take first buyers through the sequence at a pace that fits, without an agency fee, since the seller pays the commission.
