Visit guide
Property purchase visit checklist
What to check during a visit before buying a house or apartment in Belgium.
A purchase visit should confirm the general impression, but also reveal signals that can change the budget or decision.
The best approach is to prepare a simple checklist and take notes right after every visit.
Key points
Check visible points: damp, electricity, heating, noise and light.
Ask for missing information without turning the visit into a technical audit.
Compare homes with the same grid to keep the decision rational.
Before the visit
Read the listing again and note unclear points: energy score, charges, works, surface, availability date and exact address.
Prepare two lists: blocking points and points to confirm. This keeps questions focused.
- energy score
- charges
- works
- availability
During the visit
Look at walls, ceilings, windows, floors, ventilation, damp smells and noise. If it is an apartment, also check common areas.
Ask what is recent, what may need replacing and which documents can be sent after the visit.
Right after the visit
Write down your impression, points to verify and likely cost of visible works. Then classify the property: follow, confirm or discard.
If the property remains interesting, request useful documents and have technical points confirmed by a professional.

Non-exhaustive sample of active public residential listings, deduplicated by Wimmio, from agencies and direct owners. Only known positive euro prices are used. Charges are not harmonized. Sale prices are asking prices, not completed transaction prices.
The median splits prices into two halves. The interval between the first and third quartiles contains the middle half of prices. These figures are withheld below ten listings. A municipality does not mean its entire metropolitan area or region.
