Why Invest in Brussels?
Market stability
Above all, we can see a stability of the Real Estate Market conducive to investment. Because of its location in the heart of Europe and its status as Capital of Europe, Brussels is a very attractive city with real resistance to crises.
In addition to the Headquarters of the European Community, it has also become the seat of many international companies of great renown.
The registration costs and the VAT rate avoid harmful speculation. We can consider a period of 4 to 7 years to '' assimilate '' his purchase and then consider a capital gain.
Brussels has the particularity of a very diversified architecture, few houses are similar, which makes the comparison delicate.
The convenience value is the one that prevails.
Quality and diversified properties
''It is common to hear, when talking about construction in Belgium, that the Belgian '' has a brick in the belly '', it's even the title of a TV show!
It is also said that the Belgian prefers a construction '' hard '', this expression covers the fact that it is demanding as for the quality of the materials used and that it aims to build '' solid '' and for a long time. The entry into force of the PEB Certificate, Energy Performance of the Building, puts additional pressure on the "old" goods in order to adapt them to the new insulation standards.
Until recently, since 2015, building standards have forced developers to adopt their "low energy" developments!
An advantageous taxation
As a Private Person, you are not considered a Real Estate Professional, you are not subject to a tax on Rent, unlike, for example, our French neighbors.
Only the '' Précompte Immobilier '', comparable to the French Property Tax, must be taken into account and can be raised to the monthly value of a single rent.
In addition, you can declare your cadastral income when establishing the tax which is more advantageous than a tax on all your rents.
