Immolux Belgium

Real Estate FAQ

Answers about buying, selling, renting and real estate services in Belgium.

Immolux is the Belgian universal real estate file: a workspace to organize a property, its documents, history, professionals, messages and every step of a real estate opération.

How do I sell my house in Belgium?

Prepare the property, price, photos, EPC, planning information and notarial documents. Immolux helps organize these items in a property workspace before publication.

Can I sell without an estate agency?

Yes, a private owner can sell without an agency, but documents, compromise, financing and notarial deed remain important. Immolux organizes the file and does not replace an IPI/BIV agent where brokerage is required.

Which documents are needed to sell property?

The core file usually includes title deed, cadastral data, EPC, planning information, electrical inspection, soil information, post-intervention file where relevant and co-ownership documents for apartments.

How do I get an EPC certificate?

An EPC must be issued by an approved expert in the property's Region. Immolux treats EPC as a central document and can route users toward EPC experts.

How much does a notary cost in Belgium?

Costs depend on price, Region, registration duties, fees and deed. Brussels, Wallonia and Flanders differ, so Immolux estimates must remain indicative.

How do I make an offer?

An offer should include property, price, conditions, timing and parties. Check key documents and add useful suspensive conditions before signing.

How do I organize viewings?

Centralize requests, availability, participants and viewing status. In Immolux, visits remain attached to the property and its workspace history.

How do I rent out an apartment?

Publish with rent, charges, EPC, availability, photos and conditions. MyRent and, in Brussels, Irisrent must be followed according to the Region.

Which documents should I request from a tenant?

Request only necessary and proportionate documents: identity, solvency, household composition when relevant and information allowed by the Region.

How do I verify a tenant file?

Check consistency, solvency, documents and allowed references. Tenant files must respect GDPR and non-discrimination rules.

What is a rental deposit?

A rental deposit covers tenant obligations. Caps vary by Region and deposit type; e-DEPO, bank or authorized systems should be preferred.

How do I sign a lease?

A lease can be signed on paper or electronically with the right proof level. It must then be registered via the applicable channels such as MyRent and Irisrent in Brussels.

How do I find a mortgage broker?

Compare brokers by area, authorization, languages, experience and transparency. Immolux helps prepare the file before the broker conversation.

How do I compare home insurance?

Compare guarantees, exclusions, deductible, owner/tenant coverage and price. Complex cases should be reviewed with a professional.

How do I publish a property listing?

Add title, price, type, address, description, photos, EPC and useful documents. Active properties appear in the Immolux marketplace.

Are listings free?

Commercial conditions may evolve. Pricing and marketplace pages should clearly show what is free, premium or planned for later.

Does Immolux replace an agency?

No. Immolux is a search, workspace, document and coordination platform. Third-party brokerage remains with IPI/BIV professionals where required.

Does Immolux work with agencies?

How do I find a real estate lawyer?

How do I find a property photographer?

Compare portfolio, area, timing, price and image usage rights. Good photos strongly affect listing quality.

Immolux is designed first for Belgium, with Regions, EPC, Belgian documents, notaries and local professionals.

Which languages are available?

French, Dutch and English are supported for Belgian and international users.

Can I sell a garage?

Can I rent a commercial property?

Yes. Commercial rental differs from residential rental, especially for commercial leases, permitted activity, duration, destination and permits.

Can I buy land?

Yes. Land needs specific checks: cadastral parcel, buildability, planning, soil, pre-emption rights and regional constraints.

How do I manage property documents?

Each property should have a document space with categories, public/private visibility, history and controlled access.

How do I prepare a sale faster?

Gather documents before publication, add photos, clarify price, prepare visits and involve a notary or professional where needed.

How do I track appointments?

Appointments should stay linked to property, date, status, participants and notes so information is not lost in separate emails.

How do I contact a seller?

Contact from a listing should go through a central flow that keeps property context, language, category and history.

How do I receive documents before an offer?

Before an offer, request essential files through the property workspace. Some documents may remain private or require authorization.

How is my data protected?

Immolux should apply minimization, role access, activity history and separation between public data and private documents.

Where is data hosted?

Identity verification should be used where necessary: professionals, sensitive transactions, document sharing or marketplace obligations.

Verify identity, documents, price, photos and inconsistencies. Reports and verified badges reduce risk.
