Request EPC Certificate in Kortenberg

Housing Market & EPC in Kortenberg

Kortenberg lies about 11 km from our office in Tervuren, between Brussels and Leuven. Besides Kortenberg itself, the municipality includes Everberg, Erps-Kwerps and Meerbeek. Zaventem and Steenokkerzeel sit just across the boundary. The railway and the E40 run through the area, which makes Kortenberg appealing for people who work in Brussels or Leuven and prefer a greener place to live. We are glad to visit, and we reply within one working day.

Kortenberg is a commuter municipality that grew in stages, made up of village centres and residential districts. You will find older houses around the centres of Everberg, Erps-Kwerps and Meerbeek, family homes in districts that came later, and the odd apartment. Because the municipality grew this way, homes from very different periods stand side by side. Comparing two houses in the same street becomes almost impossible: what was altered or renewed in the past decides the label more than the location does.

For an EPC the assessor looks at roof, wall and floor insulation, glazing, the heating system, ventilation and solar panels. An older home often scores a lower label, a recently renovated one will do better. For a sale or rental the certificate must exist as soon as you advertise publicly, and the label belongs in the ad. A buyer of a home with label E or F must reach at least label D within a fixed period after the deed, so a well-documented certificate helps your buyer too. That period depends on the date of the deed; check yours on vlaanderen.be.
