Matisse
New-build property in Evere

Under the Breyne Act, payments follow the progress of construction: a deposit upon signing (capped at 5%), followed by progressive instalments at each construction phase. No instalment may exceed the value of the completed works. The balance is settled at provisional handover. We Invest guides you through every step, including for projects such as Matisse in Evere.

Yes, Belgian banks finance both off-plan purchases and completed properties. Funds are released in instalments, in line with construction progress. The recommended maximum loan-to-value ratio is between 80% and 90% of the property value. We Invest works with partner brokers such as Wilink to help you optimise your financing.

The gross rental yield is calculated by dividing the annual rent by the purchase price. In Evere, the proximity of NATO, the airport and European institutions sustains strong rental demand, particularly from expats and international civil servants. Studios and one-bedroom apartments generally achieve the highest occupancy rates. To estimate the true net yield, syndic charges, property tax (précompte immobilier) and potential vacancy periods should be factored in.

When signing the preliminary sale agreement for the purchase of a property under construction, a clause specifies the completion deadline as well as the penalties applicable in the event of delay. Should the provisional handover take place beyond the agreed deadline, you may claim delay penalties. These are defined contractually and vary depending on the type of apartment purchased. For Matisse, delivery is scheduled for 2027.

The prices displayed for Matisse are stated excluding costs, meaning excluding VAT. The indicated amount therefore includes neither VAT (21%, or 6% if you meet the eligibility conditions), nor notary fees or registration duties on the land. Do not hesitate to contact us for a personalised estimate of your total budget.

New-build projects in Evere may benefit from the reduced 6% VAT rate under certain conditions: the property must be your primary residence, the floor area is capped, and you must meet the criteria for first-time buyers or demolition-reconstruction projects. For a buy-to-let investment, the standard rate of 21% continues to apply. The Matisse project, developed by Besix RED, is eligible for this scheme.
