Request EPC Certificate in Wemmel

Housing Market & EPC in Wemmel

Wemmel lies on the north-western edge of Brussels, about 21 km from our Tervuren office, well within our service area. It is a compact municipality with no sub-municipalities, bordering Grimbergen, Meise and Asse and sitting close to the Brussels ring road (R0). Wemmel is one of the six facility municipalities around Brussels, but it is in the Flemish Region, so selling or letting a home here requires a Flemish EPC, even when the buyer or tenant speaks French.

Wemmel combines a village centre with residential areas that lean towards the city. You find family houses and villas in the green, but also apartments and smaller homes for people who want to live close to Brussels without living in it. That makes the rental market relevant: every letting needs a valid EPC, and a landlord does well to have it ready before the first viewing. Older homes generally score lower labels than newer ones.

For an EPC in Wemmel the assessor walks through the home: insulation of roof, walls and floor, the glazing, the boiler or heat pump, ventilation and any solar panels. The certificate is required from the moment you publicly offer the property and stays valid for ten years. A better label makes a rental more attractive and counts in sale negotiations, especially now that buyers of a home with label E or F must reach at least label D within a fixed period.
