Request EPC Certificate in Zemst

Housing Market & EPC in Zemst

Zemst lies in the northern part of our region, about 22 km from our Tervuren office, and consists of the centre of Zemst plus Elewijt, Eppegem, Hofstade and Weerde. It is a spread-out municipality with several villages, each with its own feel. Zemst borders Vilvoorde, Kampenhout and Grimbergen. For an EPC we come to each of these centres, within our 30 km service area and without separate travel costs.

In a municipality with five centres it makes sense that the housing stock is not the same everywhere. You find village streets with older terraced houses and farmhouses, newer estates of semi-detached and detached homes and, here and there, apartments in the larger centres. People in Zemst often have more outdoor space than on the Brussels edge. Older homes generally score lower labels than recently built or thoroughly renovated ones, and that also applies to the older village stock.

For a home in Zemst, Elewijt, Eppegem, Hofstade or Weerde the procedure is the same as anywhere in Flanders. You get in touch, we schedule a site visit and the assessor records insulation, glazing, heating, ventilation and solar panels. The certificate follows, usually within 48 hours. An EPC is required as soon as you publicly offer the property and stays valid for ten years. Anyone buying a home with label E or F must reach at least label D within a fixed period after the deed, so an old house may need work after the purchase. That period depends on the date of the deed; check yours on vlaanderen.be.
