Price and offer

Four numbers for the negotiation

Where to open, where you will probably meet, what similar homes suggest it is worth, and the point where you walk away. Each figure shows what it rests on and how sure we are.

Example

Asking-price benchmark, not a property valuation. Based on comparable homes advertised for sale. Actual sale prices and the features of a particular home may differ.

Comparable homes

Measured against the homes around it

The value comes from similar homes for sale nearby: same type, similar size, from every portal we read, duplicates removed. You see each one.

What it costs every month

Type in your own money, rate and income, and every figure follows: the mortgage, the running costs, registration duty and notary fees, and the share of your income it takes.

Counts the mortgage repayment only, as Belgian lenders do.

Check before you offer

What we saw, and what to ask

  • Energy efficiency (EPC D)

    What we observed
    This listing publishes EPC D.
    What it changes
    Renovation and running costs sit outside the monthly figure above, so your true cost is higher than the total shown.
    What to verify
    Ask for the full EPC certificate and the last two years of energy bills before you make an offer.
  • Long time on market

    What we observed
    Listed for 74 days against a city median of 43.
    What it changes
    This is the main reason the opening offer sits below the asking price — it is a seller-position signal, not a valuation one.
    What to verify
    Ask the agent whether the price has moved and whether any offer has fallen through.
  • Value is asking-based

    What we observed
    Every comparable we hold is a listing that is still for sale, not a completed sale.
    What it changes
    Asking prices sit above sold prices in most Belgian markets, so the value range is likely optimistic.
    What to verify
    Your notary can consult registered sale prices for the street before you commit.

FAQ

About the analysis

Is this a valuation?

No. It is an asking-price benchmark built from similar homes for sale. A notary or a surveyor can tell you what homes actually sold for.

Where do the numbers come from?

From the listing itself and from comparable homes on Immoweb, Immovlan, Zimmo, ERA, Century 21, and Immoscoop. Each figure shows what it rests on and how confident we are.

Can I change the budget figures?

Yes. Your own money, rate, term, income and offer are yours to set, and every figure follows.
