Bring the PEB certificate, the cadastral extract, floor plans, and any renovation invoices. For an apartment, add the co-ownership documents and recent syndic statements. None are strictly required to start, but they make the valuation faster and more precise, and you will need most of them to sell anyway.
A valuation runs on evidence, and the more you can show the agent, the tighter the figure. The single most useful document is the PEB certificate (Energy Performance Certificate), because the energy rating directly affects value in Wallonia: a poor F or G label drags on price and demand, a strong rating supports it. A valid PEB is mandatory to sell, rent or advertise, valid for ten years, so if you do not have one yet it is worth obtaining early.
The cadastral extract and floor plans let the agent confirm boundaries, surface and layout rather than estimating them. Renovation invoices matter more than owners assume: a new roof, rewiring or an insulated facade are exactly the improvements the comparison method rewards, but only if the agent knows about them. For an apartment, the co-ownership documents and recent syndic statements reveal charges, planned works and the building’s health, all of which feed the value.
The counter-intuitive part is that gathering these papers does double duty. Every document useful for the valuation is also a document you will need at the sale itself, alongside the electrical compliance certificate (CE), the soil information extract and the urban-planning information from the commune. Preparing them now shortens the whole road from valuation to notarial deed.
If you cannot find everything, do not delay the visit. The agent can start with what you have and flag what to obtain next.
