Housing Market & EPC in Sterrebeek

Sterrebeek is about 4 km from our office in Tervuren, which makes it one of the closest places we visit. The village belongs to Zaventem but has a calm character of its own, with greenery all around and the Sonian Forest not far away. Its neighbours are Tervuren, Zaventem and Kortenberg. Living here puts you close to Brussels and the main roads without feeling like a city. A site visit is easy to arrange, and we reply within one working day.

Sterrebeek brings together detached houses with gardens, villas and more village-style homes, plus a few apartments. Many people stay here for years, so properties that were long in the same family come up for sale fairly regularly. Such houses have often been adapted in stages: an extension here, a new kitchen there, and sometimes a roof or heating system that no longer matches the rest. That patchwork is what makes an EPC visit interesting, because the label depends on what was actually done, not only on the year of construction.

For a home like this the assessor checks everything that sets the label: roof, wall and floor insulation, glazing, the type of heating and ventilation, and solar panels if there are any. Older homes often get lower labels, but a house improved step by step can score surprisingly well. If you have had work done, keep invoices and photos, since they help to have it counted correctly. If you buy a home with label E or F, you must reach at least label D within a fixed period.
