Selling your home in Drongen

That depends on the exact location, the type of home, the size of the plot and of the home itself, the EPC label and the condition, and on what has recently sold in your area. With the test on this page you see in one minute which factors weigh most for your home. You get a concrete price with a free valuation: we combine a comparative market analysis with recent sales and visit your home where needed.

That mainly depends on a correct asking price, the condition and the type of your home. A home that is realistically priced from day one attracts the right prospective buyers straight away and does not linger on the market. After an accepted offer comes the sales agreement, and the notarial deed is usually signed within four months of that.

Every sale requires an EPC certificate, an electrical inspection, a soil certificate and the planning information, and for homes built before 2001 also an asbestos certificate. You also state the flood sensitivity of the plot and, if works have been carried out since May 2001, the post-intervention file. We help you have everything ready in time.

The valuation itself is free and without obligation. We discuss the fee for the sale beforehand and put it in writing in the brokerage agreement, so you know where you stand from the start. On top of that come the costs of the mandatory certificates, which depend on your home.

Look at local knowledge, accreditation and transparency. A licensed estate agent is registered with the BIV, the professional institute of estate agents in Belgium, and follows the code of conduct of the profession. Ask how the asking price is substantiated, which sales in your area serve as a reference, how your home will be presented and how often you get an update. At Abitos you have one dedicated point of contact, from the valuation to the deed.

You can. Selling yourself does take time and knowledge: setting the right price, gathering the mandatory certificates, writing the listing, planning viewings, negotiating and drawing up a correct sales agreement. If you want to try it yourself, you will find tips on our page about selling on your own. If you would rather hand it over, we take care of everything.

After an accepted offer, the sale is set down in the sales agreement (compromis), the private contract of sale. It states the price, the conditions and the date on which the buyer takes possession. The notary then prepares the deed, which is usually signed within four months. We follow the file until the keys are handed over.

No. A home with renovation potential also finds its buyer in Drongen, provided the asking price takes the necessary works into account. With an EPC label E or F, a buyer also factors in the renovation obligation. Small steps such as decluttering, repairs and a fresh coat of paint often do make a difference in how prospective buyers experience your home. We look together at what is worth it.

We hear that question often, and there is no single answer. If you sell first, you know exactly what budget you have. If you buy first, you are certain of your new home. There are also middle ways, such as a later date of possession in the sales agreement, so you only move once your new home is ready. Together we look at which order carries the least risk for you.

Prospective buyers book a viewing slot online on the page of your home, or leave their details so we can contact them. We welcome them on site, answer their questions and keep you informed of the reactions. That way you do not have to be present at every viewing.

The value test is anonymous and shows in one minute which features determine the value of your home, without an amount.
