Housing Market & EPC in Grimbergen

Grimbergen lies north of Brussels and consists of several centres: Grimbergen itself, Beigem, Humbeek and Strombeek-Bever. From our Tervuren office it is roughly 18 km by road. The municipality borders Vilvoorde, Meise and Wemmel and sits close to the Brussels ring road (R0), which makes it popular with commuters. For an EPC in Grimbergen we work inside our normal service area, with no extra charge for travel.

Because Grimbergen is made up of several centres, the character of the housing stock varies. Strombeek-Bever lies closest to the city and has more urban building, while Humbeek and Beigem feel quieter and more village-like, with more space and greenery. In general you find a mix of terraced, semi-detached and detached houses and apartments. Older homes usually score lower labels than recent or renovated ones, and the difference depends mostly on what has been done about insulation and heating.

An EPC in Grimbergen is the official proof of a home’s energy performance, and it plays a role in every sale or letting. The assessor looks at roof, wall and floor insulation, windows, the heating installation, ventilation and any solar panels. The certificate is valid for ten years, the label belongs in the listing, and advertising without one risks a fine of 500 to 5,000 euros. If you buy a home with label E or F, you must reach label D within a fixed period after the deed, so ask for the label before you sign. That period depends on the date of the deed; check yours on vlaanderen.be.

What is an EPC and why do I need one?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official document showing a building's energy efficiency. For a home, it is required as soon as you publicly offer it for sale or for rent. More information on the website of the Flemish Energy and Climate Agency (VEKA).
When is an EPC mandatory?
For a home, a valid EPC must exist as soon as you publicly offer it for sale or for rent, and it must stay valid until the notarial deed or the signing of the lease. For new builds, the EPB reporter issues an EPC Construction after the EPB declaration. Apartment buildings also have an EPC for the common areas, and separate rules apply to non-residential buildings. Unsure? Ask us.
