Buying with Easyhome

Yes. You can attach suspensive conditions to your offer, most commonly obtaining a mortgage loan within a set time. If the condition is not met, the sale unwinds without penalty. The conditions are written into the offer and carried into…

When the seller accepts your written offer, a binding agreement forms at once. Next comes the compromis (preliminary sale agreement), usually within days to a few weeks, then the notarial deed about four months later, when you pay the balance,…

Rarely. Belgian banks seldom finance 100% of a purchase; buyers usually need own funds to cover the costs and part of the price. Fixed mortgage rates sat around 3% to 3.5% over 20 to 25 years in 2026. Plan your…

In Wallonia the registration duty is 3% of the price for an own and sole home bought by a natural person, in force since 1 January 2025, down from 12.5%. Any other purchase, such as a second home or investment,…

Easyhome can point buyers toward financing help in general terms, but arranging your mortgage stays your decision. A broker compares offers across banks, which can save time and money, especially since Belgian banks rarely lend 100%. Fixed rates were around…

No. In Belgium the seller signs the sales mandate and pays the agency commission, so a buyer normally pays no Easyhome fee. As a purchaser you budget for the price, the registration duties and the notary costs. The agency’s commission…

Before buying, confirm the PEB (Energy Performance Certificate) and the electrical compliance certificate, the soil and urban-planning information, clear title, and, for a flat, the co-ownership accounts. Check your financing and the registration duties too. The notary verifies most of…

The “notary fee” (frais de notaire) is not one figure but a bundle: the notary’s honoraria, set by a legally fixed degressive national scale, plus the registration duties, plus disbursements such as searches and mortgage registration. The honoraria are identical…

Belgian law protects buyers against hidden defects (vices cachés): serious flaws that existed before the sale, were not visible on inspection, and make the property unfit for use. A private seller can limit liability with an “as is” clause if…

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…

Yes. As a technology-driven agency, Easyhome uses immersive video so buyers can view a property remotely before travelling. Virtual viewings help you shortlist quickly and are especially useful for distant or foreign buyers, though a physical visit is still advised…

Yes. Anyone can buy property in Belgium, including non-residents and non-EU nationals, and no residence permit is required to purchase. A foreign buyer follows the same route as a resident: viewing, offer, compromis and notarial deed. Easyhome’s immersive video helps…

Yes. Easyhome helps investors find and acquire rental or resale property, matching stock to a target yield and area across Wallonia. Note that an investment purchase is taxed at 12.5% registration duty, not the 3% own-home rate, since the reduced…

There is no fixed minimum offer: you are free to offer below the asking price. What matters is that the offer is written, credible and one you will honour, since acceptance is binding. A very low offer is allowed but…

Yes. Rather than leaving you to scroll listings alone, Easyhome can match you to properties that fit your budget, area and needs, using AI buyer profiling and its network across seven Walloon offices. You are then alerted to suitable homes,…

A buyer in Wallonia mainly pays the price, the registration duties and the notary costs. Registration duties are 3% for an own and sole home since 1 January 2025, or 12.5% otherwise. The agency commission is paid by the seller,…

Buying with Easyhome runs in clear steps: browse listings on easyhome-immo.be, book a viewing, make an offer, then sign the compromis (preliminary sale agreement) before the notarial deed follows within about four months. Your Easyhome adviser guides each stage across…

To view an Easyhome property, open its listing on easyhome-immo.be and request an appointment, or contact the office covering that town directly. An adviser then confirms a slot and meets you on site. Many listings also include an immersive video…

To make an offer you mainly need proof of identity and a clear idea of your financing, ideally a bank agreement in principle. The offer itself is a written document stating your price and conditions. The heavier legal paperwork, from…

Once the seller accepts your written offer, the compromis (preliminary sale agreement) is usually signed within a few days to two or three weeks. The gap covers gathering the seller’s certificates and drafting the document. Acceptance of the offer itself…

The compromis is the preliminary sale agreement signed once buyer and seller agree on price and terms. In Wallonia it is legally binding: it fixes the property, the price and the conditions, and commits both sides to complete. The notarial…

The compromis is the private preliminary sale agreement that binds buyer and seller once they agree. The notarial deed (acte) is the official act signed before a notary about four months later, which transfers ownership and is registered. The compromis…

In Belgium the notarial deed is normally signed within about four months of the compromis (preliminary sale agreement). That window lets the notary run legal checks, secure the buyer’s financing and collect the registration duties. The deadline is written into…

Yes. The asking price is a starting point, and you are free to make an offer below it. Whether it succeeds depends on the property, demand and how the price sits against the market. Your Easyhome adviser can tell you…

Yes. Easyhome guides buyers through the whole purchase: viewings, framing a written offer, understanding the compromis and the notarial deed, and coordinating with the notaries. Because the seller pays the agency commission in Belgium, this buyer support normally costs a…
