Spring Gardens
New-build property in Ixelles

Governed by the Breyne Act, payments for an off-plan purchase follow the progress of the construction works: a deposit capped at 5% upon signing, followed by progressive instalments at each construction stage. No instalment may exceed the value of the completed works. The balance is paid at the provisional handover. We Invest guides you throughout the entire process.

Beyond the purchase price, several additional costs should be anticipated: VAT (21%, or 6% under certain conditions), notary fees, mortgage-related costs, connection fees, and the drafting costs of the basic deed. No registration duties apply to the construction portion. Our advisors provide each buyer with a free comprehensive cost summary.

The gross rental yield is obtained by dividing the annual rent by the total purchase price. In Brussels, new high-energy-performance apartments such as those at Spring Gardens attract tenants willing to pay a premium for comfort and low running costs. To estimate the net yield, factor in syndic charges, property tax, and any potential vacancy periods.

Spring Gardens prices are listed excluding fees and excluding VAT. The stated amount covers neither VAT (6% under certain conditions or 21%), nor notary fees, nor registration duties on the land.

Spring Gardens stands out with EPC ratings ranging from A to A++, among the best on the Brussels market. The project incorporates geothermal energy, heat pumps, and photovoltaic panels — a combination that significantly reduces energy consumption and monthly costs. An ecologically and economically sound long-term choice, developed by Crown Estates.

In Ixelles, as throughout the Brussels-Capital Region, the reduced 6% VAT rate is available under certain conditions: the property must serve as the primary residence, the floor area must not exceed a set threshold, and the buyer must be a first-time buyer or the project must fall within a demolition-reconstruction scheme. Spring Gardens is eligible for this arrangement. Contact We Invest at +32 2 318 18 08 to verify your situation.
