Discover the complete list of essential documents to sell your property legally.
The main documents to provide before selling your property
Before selling a property, it is essential to gather all necessary documents. Among them are the title deed, urban planning information, the energy performance certificate (EPC), the electrical inspection report, the subsequent intervention file (SIF), and the soil pollution certificate. These elements ensure the transparency of the transaction and secure both buyers and sellers.
Specific documents in case of co-ownership or inheritance
For condominium properties, it is necessary to provide the minutes of the general meetings, the account statements, the situation of the reserve fund, and any ongoing procedures. In the case of inheritance, one must prove their status as an heir and present the acts of the deceased. These elements help to ensure the legal regularity of the sale.
The mandatory environmental certificates and attestations in Belgium
Depending on the region, different documents are required: soil certificate issued by the IBGE (Brussels), the BDES (Wallonia), or the OVAM (Flanders). Since 2022, an asbestos certificate is also mandatory in Flanders for buildings constructed before 2001. These documents certify the environmental compliance of the property before sale.
