Our aim was to offer the same time saving and peace of mind to the customer, in a more difficult and, above all, less predictable context than previously, which could often require substantial investment in the short or medium term.
The aim is to be able to maintain this comprehensive approach even in a context where the rental of a property would require prior work, whether to improve its energy performance or for reasons of non-compliance with the Brussels Housing Code (Code Bruxellois du logement - CBL).
The idea being to share with you practical experience we have gained so that we can also help you with the entire pre-rental procedure.
Here is what it includes:
- Determine the priority renovations with you, based on the type of rental you have in mind
- Get comparative quotes from different companies
- Check the proposed specifications for the works
- Ensure, where applicable, that the materials used and the type of work carried out qualify for the desired subsidies (e.g. prime renolution).
- Estimate the budget required for the entire project
- Help with the follow-up of the works
- Guide our customers through the administrative procedure for obtaining their subsidy(ies)
- Obtain certificates if required (PEB or any other inspection certificate)
- Furnishing the property if necessary
- Follow-up of a compliance case following a declaration of non-conformity of the accommodation with the CBL (this includes preparation of the meeting with the authorities in the event of a possible fine, with the aim of having the fine reduced as much as possible or even cancelled).
Another aspect that complicates rental management is the increase in regulations, which vary from region to region, but overall tend towards very strong tenant protection, sometimes to the detriment of landlords' fundamental rights.
This already tenacious tension in the rental market has recently been exacerbated by a context of global instability, making it more difficult to manage rental properties with the same degree of serenity as before, as the market has become less stable and therefore less predictable.
Familiar with this changing environment, which has evolved considerably over the last 10 years, our aim is to support our customers so that they can navigate smoothly in this difficult context.
In practice, here is what we will help you with:
- Identify your property's weak points and potential CBL risks.
- Choose your tenant carefully, in accordance with ethical standards and non-discrimtination legislation.
- Protecting you with a correctly formulated contract, a rigorously detailed place description, strict requirements at the start of the contract regarding the security deposit, payment of the first rent and the necessary legal administrative procedures.
- Anticipate possible unforeseen events in day-to-day management and help you resolve them by minimizing unnecessary costs and with a good knowledge of the CBL.
-
Maximize the rental yield of your property in a context of significant political pressure on prices.
- Manage rental transitions smoothly, with a rigorous approach that minimizes unpleasant surprises, especially in the event of rental damage or failure to maintain your property.
We believe we can provide our customers with a complete management solution, with the ambition of exceeding your expectations and supporting you in all the challenges you face.
