Small daily actions can reduce your overall energy consumption. Adopt reflexes concerning your connected electrical devices, your lighting and your way of life:
<ul>
<li>Systematically turn off unused devices and avoid standby (television, internet box, computer, etc.). You can equip yourself with electrical power strips in order to cut off all your appliances.</li>
<li>Remember to install low-consumption LED bulbs and turn off the lights in the rooms you leave.</li>
<li>Save your hot water consumption.</li>
<li>Install curtains to increase the insulating power at the level of the windows and close your shutters in the event of a cold snap or extreme heat.</li>

Buying a property in Brussels: what are the existing advantages?

<span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;In Belgium, property buyers and owners can benefit from a series of bonuses, tax advantages and other financial aid. But beware: goods are generally subject to different regimes depending on their geographical location. Here is an overview of the main benefits available in the Brussels-Capital Region, as well as the conditions to be met to access them. &quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&quot;2&quot;:15297,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Proxima Nova&quot;,&quot;16&quot;:10}">In Belgium, property buyers and owners can benefit from a series of bonuses, tax advantages and other financial aid. But beware: goods are generally subject to different regimes depending on their geographical location. Here is an overview of the main benefits available in the Brussels-Capital Region, as well as the conditions to be met to access them.

In Brussels as in Wallonia, the registration fees are set at 12.5% &#8211; against 10% in Flanders. People who buy real estate in Brussels can, however, benefit from an allowance (reduction of the tax base) of 200,000 euros. This first installment of the price of the property is therefore not subject to registration fees, which represents an advantage of 25,000 euros.
An additional allowance of 50,000 euros is also granted to owners who undertake a substantial energy renovation of their property and make it gain at least two classes on the PEB scale. To benefit from the allowance, there are conditions: for example, the total amount of the property (price, costs, etc.) must not exceed 600,000 euros, the dwelling must be located in the Brussels-Capital Region, the buyer is a natural person and makes the purchase in full ownership. The abatement on registration fees is also conditioned by the fact that the purchaser is not already the full owner of another dwelling, and that he retains his main residence in the property for a minimum of 5 uninterrupted years &#8211; otherwise he will have to repay the deduction in proportion to the years spent in the accommodation.

Since the beginning of 2022, owners who live in their property have benefited from an annual Be Home bonus of 139 euros automatically deducted from the amount of their property tax. Some Brussels municipalities supplement this regional bonus with a “municipal housing bonus”. In Ixelles and Anderlecht, owners occupying their property can, for example, benefit from an additional reduction of 40 euros on their property tax. This amount reaches 70 euros in Schaerbeek, and 140 euros in Evere.
It should also be noted that at the regional level, reductions in the property tax are planned in particular for classified properties (advantage of -25 to -100%) and « modest houses » whose non-indexed cadastral income does not exceed 745 euros (reduction from -25 to -50%). Households with at least two children domiciled in the property are also entitled to a 10% reduction per dependent child.

The purchase of a property is often the ideal time to carry out renovation work, particularly in terms of energy. In Brussels, owners who embark on this kind of project can benefit from the Renolution bonuses, a series of financial aids intended for all buildings that are at least 10 years old. The bonuses relate to work to improve energy performance (heating, insulation, audit, etc.) but also interventions related to structural work, sanitation or even certain interior fittings.
The amount of the premiums is higher for low-income households, and to be entitled to them, the work must be carried out by a contractor. You should also know that Belgian law provides for a VAT rate of 6% (instead of 21%) for certain renovation works in homes built more than 10 years ago.

To facilitate access to property, the Brussels Housing Fund offers mortgage loans at rates currently ranging from 3 to 4.5%. To benefit from it, you must in particular acquire a property in the Brussels-Capital Region and occupy it for the entire duration of the loan. Loans from the Housing Fund are reserved for people who are not already homeowners (in Belgium or abroad) and whose taxable income does not exceed certain ceilings depending on the composition of the household. The credits can extend up to 30 years and the amounts granted depend on the repayment capacity of the borrowers. They can in some cases reach 120% of the value of the property in order to also cover certain legal and/or renovation costs.
The Housing Fund also offers an ECORENO loan (up to 25,000 euros) to finance renovation work. The rates are 0 or 1% depending on income and the access conditions are quite similar to those of mortgage credit.

The sale of a property is often a source of stress... Unless you entrust the process to experts. This is the choice of Sandrine and Nicolas, who have put their trust in Inside Properties. « It was an obvious choice! Especially since three years earlier we had already tried to sell our flat... in vain », explains Nicolas. But why try again?

« Inside Properties creates a fluid and positive human experience based on trust »

The sale of a property is often a source of stress&#8230; Unless you entrust the process to experts. This is the choice of Sandrine and Nicolas, who have put their trust in Inside Properties. « It was an obvious choice! Especially since three years earlier we had already tried to sell our flat&#8230; in vain», explains Nicolas. But why try again?

Having just returned from a year of travelling, the couple felt cramped in the flat where their children were born. « At this turning point in our lives, we didn&rsquo;t know what to do with the property: keep it, rent it or sell it ?», says Sandrine. In search of (good) advice, Nicolas contacted Arnaud, a long-time friend and co-founder of Inside. « Of course! He is the most knowledgeable person in real estate in my circle. Together with Cédric (editor&rsquo;s note: the other co-founder), they helped us to put our cards on the table, but also to have a realistic perspective on a possible sale. »

Already convinced by the Inside method, Nicolas had the opportunity to experience it personally. « It&rsquo;s a unique concept that is completely different from the work of other real estate agencies. Cédric and Arnaud are almost like coaches, accompanying both the seller and the buyer. We have to admit that they have more than fulfilled the contract », explique-t-il.he explains. Quite logically, the couple let themselves be guided by the Inside team. «They took care of everything, including the paperwork and administration. It was a real relief!», adds Sandrine.

Inside is also a « makeover » phase, even when the property is already superb! This was the case for Sandrine and Nicolas, who went to live elsewhere during the home staging. « SOn Inside&rsquo;s advice, we cleared the flat of our personal belongings in order to recover the original character of our decor. Then, their touch made it even more attractive », Sandrine explains. As Nicolas points out, the magic of the operation is to offer everyone the possibility of imagining themselves living in the place.

Inside&rsquo;s promise? To organise visits from potential buyers and sell in a weekend. « It&rsquo;s a nice marketing slogan, but I must admit that I didn&rsquo;t really believe in it», smiles Nicolas. However, Inside succeeded and the property was sold at a higher price (15 to 20%). « I invited myself to see it with my own eyes: dozens of selected visitors, coffee to welcome them, a positive atmosphere. In short, the perfect conditions to create a real craze,», he adds.

A win-win operation, celebrated with champagne, for which Sandrine reveals the keys&#8230; « It&rsquo;s a combination of factors, specific to Inside: home staging, unfailing attention to detail, enthusiasm, etc. In short a very special energy! In short, a very special energy! » Nicolas shares this view: « More than just making a place more beautiful, Inside prepares it for the next one. This is Cedric and Arnaud&rsquo;s strength, creating a fluid and positive human experience, based on trust and benevolence! » What else?

« Home staging makes the bride more beautiful, but transparently so! »

Calogera Venti and Benoît Harmant are perfect examples of the happy twists and turns in our lives. After having founded their first home, each on their own, they fell in love and formed a beautiful blended family. With an extended family comes new housing needs&#8230; That&rsquo;s why the sale of their respective houses became an obvious choice. A double mission, entrusted to Inside Properties!

« I just wanted to live with my lover! But the house in Schaerbeek, which I used to live in with my two sons, had become too small for all of us », Benoît introduces, stars in his eyes. The same applies to Calogera, whose future ex-home was only occupied by her ex-husband. « In the real estate market, it was the right time, so we agreed to sell. Plus, thanks to Benoît&rsquo;s positive experience, I knew that my ex-husband and I could trust Inside, » Calogera anticipates. But let&rsquo;s take a step back a few months, when Benoît is the first to decide to take the plunge&#8230;

His first instinct? Find the right partner. « Each to his own, so I contacted two agencies to get an offer and a first contact » , Benoît continues. One of his options was Inside Properties, suggested by Calogera, who had heard good things about it in his professional circle. Convinced by his exchange with Cédric and Arnaud, co-founders of Inside, Benoît entrusted them with the sale of his house. « Two criteria quickly won me over: firstly, the feeling and the human aspect, but also the scenarisation and preparation of the house. An intelligent approach that enhances the value of the property! »

Calogera also joins in without hesitation. « Inside offers a fine and complete method. They take into account the overall context of the property, its assets, its defects, the neighbourhood, but also the human aspect. In my case, I was selling with my ex-husband, so these are not easy situations to manage, » she says. For the couple, the results are similar, in terms of time and price. « We sold above the advertised and hoped-for price, » smiles Benoît, complemented by his partner: « And super fast! Our houses were sold in a weekend, thanks to Inside&rsquo;s professional and super-organised support, particularly in terms of administration. »

This successful double sale also reveals the advantages of home staging, an experience appreciated by the couple. « A house occupied by three men (editor&rsquo;s note: Benoît and his sons)? I won&rsquo;t hide the fact that there were a few « details » to improve. Inside managed to make the bride more beautiful, but without hiding anything, simply by enhancing her,» says Benoît. Even more sensitive to the decor, Calogera goes further: « Everything is done so that the buyers can project themselves. The house is better exploited, redesigned, restyled&#8230; We almost don&rsquo;t want to sell it anymore , » she jokes!
&nbsp;
Asked to sum up their respective experiences with Inside in three months, Calogera and Benoît find it hard to restrict themselves: « Support, responsiveness, professionalism&#8230; but also a taste for beauty and aesthetics!»

Home-staging: a must for real estate sales

As the name suggests, home staging originated in the United States. It was invented in the 1970&rsquo;s by an agent named Barb Schwartz for whom it was important to prepare and showcase homes for sale.

Her experience in the field of theater inspired her to create staging in homes to make them more attractive to buyers. Due to the success of this method, Barb Schwartz started giving conferences and home staging spread all over the world. In Belgium, there are now independent « home stagers » whom owners can call upon when putting their property up for sale, but at Inside Properties this staging is directly integrated in our services.
<h2>Enhancement at a lower cost</h2>
Home staging can be defined as all the steps, actions and resources to be implemented to prepare a property for sale and make it as attractive as possible.
Home staging must remain simple, be limited to a small budget and the decoration put in place must please the greatest number of people. In general, the staging of a property begins with the decluttering and depersonalization of the spaces. We remove everything that is superfluous or reminds too much the presence of the owners, then we reuse as much as possible the furniture and the elements present in the house to create an atmosphere, to fluidify the circulation and to put forward the strong points of the interior. A good cleaning and small repairs may also be necessary.
When the properties for sale are empty or require major renovations, home staging can be replaced by a virtual version in the form of 2D or 3D visualizations in order to limit costs.
<h2>Home staging is a vector of love</h2>
Home staging has made a place for itself in real estate because it offers real added value to the seller and the buyer. For the latter, visiting an apartment or a house that has been well highlighted allows them to project themselves more easily and to immediately identify its potential.
In practice, home staging is a vector of love and a great help to the decision to buy. For owners, it guarantees a quicker sale and allows them to avoid negotiations as much as possible, or even to increase the price in certain cases.
Here is an example: a few months ago, Inside Properties was asked to sell a magnificent mansion in the Brugmann district. Before working with us, the owners had met with 7 agencies who estimated the value of the property at around 1.300.000 and 1.400.000 euros. The house was particularly cluttered, so Arnaud and Cédric spent two weeks emptying out the excess and giving it back its shine.
This work paid off because the property was sold in 3 days, at a much higher price than that estimated by other agencies who had certainly been influenced by the poor presentation of the house. The owners and the buyers were delighted!

For Cathy Immelen, the search for her first property purchase was a rollercoaster ride for a long time. For about ten years, she scoured the Immoweb in search of her dream home. From periods of great enthusiasm to numerous disappointments, she thought she would never buy! But she didn't count on the expertise of Inside Properties: an encounter that will change everything...

« Real estate is not so complicated... as long as you are well accompanied! »

For Cathy Immelen, the search for her first property purchase was a rollercoaster ride for a long time. For about ten years, she scoured the Immoweb in search of her dream home. From periods of great enthusiasm to numerous disappointments, she thought she would never buy! But she didn&rsquo;t count on the expertise of Inside Properties: an encounter that will change everything&#8230;

«Honestly, I had made up my mind to rent until I got my pension, then I would have bought a flat on the North Sea for my old age! » Cathy admits nervously. And for good reason, the property market in Brussels is tight. «For a single person, it&rsquo;s complicated to find an affordable property in good condition. Some agencies don&rsquo;t even make the effort to value the houses anymore, as many buyers are ready to bid higher. As a woman, I was also afraid of being ripped off or finding hidden defects, » says the Brussels native.

Difficulties, to which are added legitimate criteria. « It&rsquo;s true that my standards were a little high, because I was renting a beautiful apartment in Saint-Gilles: high ceilings, terrace, mouldings, parquet flooring and so on, » explains Cathy, not without specifying that the rent was also «up to scratch». In her search, Cathy dreamed of a place that didn&rsquo;t require any work, that was well located and had sufficient outdoor space. «As the search went on and failed to find a place, I jumped the gun, just to keep my hopes up. But as a flower lover, the terrace was a sine qua non!»

One evening, Cathy fell under the spell of a photo&#8230; « I liked everything about this ad, the colours, the furniture, etc. So I dug around and, on the agency&rsquo;s website, I discovered a pretty video of the neighbourhood. It was love at first sight! » This agency is Inside Properties. Cathy immediately sent an e-mail, like throwing a bottle into the sea, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. « The next day, first thing in the morning, I got an answer! This was (pleasantly) surprising, as I had unfortunately become used to being forgotten or ignored. » The contact with Inside was established and will not be broken again. See you the following Saturday to visit this gem, located on Avenue Molière in Forest and owned by Thaddé Plater Zybek.

«Without Inside Properties, I probably would never have bought, » says Cathy, reassured and guided from start to finish. «I was worried that they would think I was crazy, because I was so stressed by the process: a lot of emotion, a few naive questions and even a few blunders. But the Inside team put me at ease, with education, kindness and humour. » She also understands that buyers and sellers deserve the same attention at Inside. «The position of buyer is not always easy, but I felt a lot of kindness. But there is also a real passion for real estate, Brussels, materials, etc. And you can see it in the quality of the home staging!»
Cathy, who is about to move in, sums up this beautiful story with Inside Properties in three words: competence, benevolence and honesty. « Real estate is not so complicated&#8230; as long as you are well accompanied! If I had to sell? It would only be with Inside. Without hesitation! »  Happy ending.
