how much does it cost to sell my property?
Discover all the costs to anticipate when selling your property: agencies, certificates, taxes, and banking fees.
The costs related to the sale of your real estate property
The sale of a property involves several costs: estimation, publication of advertisements, mandatory certificates, and agency support. If you hire a certified expert, an estimation costs about 250 €. Platforms like Immoweb charge between 69 € and 120 € per month depending on the visibility selected.
Taxes and certificates to be arranged before the sale
The PEB certificate is mandatory and costs between €200 and €800 depending on the size of the property. A soil certificate (between €38 and €500) is required in Brussels and Flanders. In the Walloon Region, a conformity certificate for the oil tank costs between €115 and €175 on average. If the property is sold within 5 years of purchase, a capital gains tax of 16.5% applies.
The banking fees to anticipate before selling your property
In the case of an ongoing loan, the sale incurs re-employment compensation (3 to 6 months of interest) and mortgage release fees, representing approximately 0.7% of the borrowed amount. If you purchase a new property through the same bank, a loan transfer is often possible to avoid these fees.
