Request EPC Certificate in Sint-Genesius-Rode

Housing Market & EPC in Sint-Genesius-Rode

Sint-Genesius-Rode, known in French as Rhode-Saint-Genèse, lies south of Brussels against the Sonian Forest (Zoniënwoud), about 18 km from our Tervuren office. It has no separate sub-municipalities and borders Linkebeek, Hoeilaart and Beersel. It is a facility municipality with a large French-speaking community, yet it lies entirely in the Flemish Region, so an EPC for a home here is a Flemish certificate. We work in Dutch, French and English and come to you.

Sint-Genesius-Rode is known for its green, residential character: many villas and spacious family houses near the forest, next to a built-up centre with apartments and terraced houses. For homes with a large plot, the label often depends far more on what owners have done in recent years about insulation and heating than on the location. Older homes generally score lower labels than recent or thoroughly renovated ones.

A large detached home needs more attention in an EPC than a compact apartment: more roof and façade surface, often more windows and a larger heating installation. The assessor records insulation, glazing, heating, ventilation and any solar panels, and takes the size of the building into account. The certificate is required for public sale or rental and stays valid for ten years. If you buy a home with label E or F, you must reach at least label D within a fixed period after the deed, so check the label before buying. That period depends on the date of the deed; check yours on vlaanderen.be.
