Request EPC Certificate in Hoeilaart

Housing Market & EPC in Hoeilaart

Hoeilaart lies about 9 km from our office in Tervuren and is largely surrounded by the Sonian Forest. Groenendaal, with its woods and well-known arboretum, is part of the municipality. Overijse and Tervuren are its neighbours on the Flemish side, and across the boundary lies Sint-Genesius-Rode. Hoeilaart is known for growing grapes and for its quiet, wooded character. Living here puts you close to the city while looking out at trees. We reply to every request within one working day.

In Hoeilaart, villas and country houses on generous plots stand alongside ordinary family homes and a village core with some older houses. Around Groenendaal the forest is never far, which gives living there its particular charm. Homes that stand so freely, and often have a large volume, call for more attention to roof, walls and heating in an EPC than a compact city apartment. That is neither good nor bad news in advance: the label depends on what has been done in each house, and that can only be established on site.

The assessor looks at roof, wall and floor insulation, glazing, the heating system, ventilation and solar panels, and calculates a label from them. For larger detached houses the heated volume matters most: the more space, the more a good building shell counts. The certificate is valid for 10 years and must exist as soon as you advertise the property publicly, with the label in the ad. As a buyer of a home with label E or F, you have a fixed period after the deed to reach at least label D. That period depends on the date of the deed; check yours on vlaanderen.be.
