Housing Market & EPC in Herent

Herent borders Leuven and lies about 16 km from our office in Tervuren. Besides the centre of Herent itself, the municipality includes Veltem-Beisem and Winksele. It is a place where you reach Leuven quickly yet live away from the bustle. We come here regularly, as well as to the neighbouring municipalities of Leuven, Boortmeerbeek and Bertem, so an appointment is usually easy to arrange.

Herent grew out of old village centres, surrounded by residential areas and housing estates added later. You find terraced, semi-detached and detached houses, and apartments in and around the centres. Veltem-Beisem and Winksele each keep their own village character. Because of this layered growth, older and newer homes often stand side by side, sometimes in the same street.

With old and new so close together, the EPC of two neighbours can differ a lot. We look at each home’s insulation of the roof, walls and floor, the glazing, heating, ventilation and any solar panels. A home that was partly renovated in the past sometimes scores better than you expect, but only if the works can be shown. So keep your invoices and photos, and we will take them into account in the certificate. For an apartment in one of the centres or a newer house in an estate we check the same points, so the label truly reflects the home as it is today.
