Putting your property up for sale in Brussels in 2025: Everything you need to know to succeed

Selling real estate in Brussels in 2025 requires preparation, strategy, and a thorough understanding of the local market. Between changing regulations, rising buyer demands, and economic fluctuations, it's crucial to approach each step with rigor.

Real estate market trends in Brussels

The Brussels market is showing relative stability at the start of 2025. After a slight decline in 2023-2024, prices are holding steady, with an expected annual increase of 2 to 3%, according to the Federation of Notaries (Fednot). Neighborhoods such as Schaerbeek, Ixelles, and Forest continue to attract buyers, particularly for their value for money.

Borrowing rates are around 3%, which remains attractive for first-time buyers. This environment encourages sales, but also pushes buyers to be more demanding.

Preparing your property: beyond simple cleaning

A well-presented property sells faster and often for a better price. Here are the essential steps:

• Carry out a complete cleaning and declutter each room.

• Highlight the assets (fireplace, solid parquet flooring, high ceilings, etc.).

• Take care of the exteriors , even the small balconies.

• Optimize lighting , natural and artificial, to create a warm atmosphere.

• Obtain all required certificates (PEB, electrical inspection, etc.).
  

📋 Prepare answers to frequently asked questions from buyers

Belgian buyers are paying increasingly close attention to a property's technical specifications. Here is a non-exhaustive list of questions they often ask:

• What year was the boiler installed? What type is it (gas, condensing, etc.)?

• Has the roof been renovated? What materials were used? Does it have insulation?

• What type of flooring is it (solid parquet, laminate, tile, vinyl, etc.)?

• What is the orientation of the garden or terrace (south, west, etc.)?

• Is there double glazing? If so, what generation?

• What is the PEB score?

• Is the electrical installation compliant?

• Is there a ventilation system? (single flow, double flow CMV?)

• What year was the last major work carried out?

• Are there common charges or a trustee if it is a co-ownership?

• How much do water, gas and electricity cost on average per month?

• What is the condition of the facade? Is it insulated?

Preparing a clear and structured file with these answers shows your seriousness and inspires confidence in buyers.
