Yes, Belgian banks finance off-plan purchases in the same way as already completed properties. Unlike a standard loan, the amount is not paid out all at once: your bank releases payment installments as construction progresses. It is also possible to postpone loan repayment until the keys are handed over, to avoid having to pay two monthly installments at the same time; this is known as capital deferral.

Yes, this is possible provided you organize it early enough and have the developer's agreement. Note, however, that the developer generally benefits from more favorable agreements and rates thanks to economies of scale: using your own supplier may therefore result in a higher price.

Most developers offer show apartments or organize supervised site visits. Feel free to contact us to arrange an on-site visit.

Buying a new property offers many advantages:

• Legal security: the Breyne law governs off-plan sales and guarantees the buyer a series of protections for 10 years, even in the event of the developer's bankruptcy.
• Performance: new properties comply with the latest construction standards, incorporate the most current technologies and offer the best energy performance.
• Reduced costs: thanks to heat pumps, photovoltaic panels and enhanced insulation, your costs are reduced from day one.
• Customization: possibility to choose the layout and finishes of your apartment if you plan early.
• Favorable taxation: possibility of benefiting from a reduced VAT rate of 6% (under certain conditions).
