Housing Market & EPC in Tervuren

Tervuren is home base for us: our office is in the municipality itself. A visit in Duisburg, Moorsel, Vossem or the centre of Tervuren is simply a short trip around the neighbourhood. The municipality borders the Sonian Forest and is best known for its park and the Africa Museum. Streets here are wide and green, and quickly give way to woodland and meadows. Overijse, Bertem and Wezembeek-Oppem are close by, and the Brussels ring road (R0) puts you on the main routes in minutes. We reply to every request within one working day.

Housing in Tervuren is varied. You will find large villas on generous plots among the trees, village houses around the older centres, and a mix of more modest homes and apartments. In Duisburg, Moorsel and Vossem the feel is more rural, with older farmhouses next to homes built later. Many properties are therefore a good deal older than a typical new development, and a large detached house has more outer wall and roof area through which heat can escape. That differs a lot from one house to the next, which is exactly why a visit on site beats an estimate on paper.

For an EPC the assessor looks at roof, wall and floor insulation, glazing, heating, ventilation and any solar panels. Older homes often score a lower label, and that is especially true for big villas with a lot of volume to heat. If you buy a home with label E or F, you must reach at least label D within a fixed period after the deed. That period depends on the date of the deed; check yours on vlaanderen.be. That makes the certificate useful for buyers too, because it shows right away where the biggest gain is. As a seller or landlord you need it as soon as you offer the property publicly, and the label must appear in the advertisement.
