Governed by the Belgian Breyne Law, payments are strictly linked to the progress of the construction works. An initial deposit, capped at 5% of the purchase price, is paid upon signing the agreement. This is followed by progressive payment requests corresponding to each completed stage of construction. At no point can the amount requested exceed the value of the works already carried out. The remaining balance is paid upon the provisional acceptance of the apartment, scheduled for 2028.

Absolutely. Belgian banks finance both off-plan purchases and completed properties. Funds are released progressively according to the construction schedule and the completion of each building phase. As a general guideline, buyers are advised not to exceed a loan-to-value ratio of 80% to 90% of the property's value. We Invest works with trusted mortgage partners who can help you identify the financing solution best suited to your personal situation.

The Belgian Breyne Law provides purchasers with a strong legal framework and extensive protection. First, it guarantees the completion of the property, regardless of any unforeseen circumstances affecting the developer. It also covers hidden defects through a ten-year liability guarantee that extends to the seller or developer. These protections must be clearly stated in the preliminary sales agreement, and proof of the corresponding guarantees will be provided upon signing the authentic deed before the notary.
