Buying
Do you already have a long-term contract or know that
you’ll be staying in Belgium for a while? If so, buying
may well be a wise investment.
Housing in Belgium is of a high quality and eminently
affordable in an international comparison.
To make buying easier, Flanders offers cut-rate registration duty, meaning you
will pay only 5% duty for a modest home rather than 10%.
The average rate of interest on a mortgage in Belgium is almost as low as in most other European countries.
It pays to shop around. We recommend that you visit a number of banks and negotiate the deal offering the lowest interest rate.
