Sale, rental or works: these diagnostics do not land at the same moment and they do not follow the same framework. Belgium keeps regional rules, but the user journey should stay simple.

PEB certificate, electrical inspection and asbestos inventory

PEB certificate

The PEB certificate assesses the energy consumption of your property. It becomes central before a sale or a rental, with rules that vary by region and property type.

Electrical inspection

The electrical compliance inspection checks the safety of your installation under the RGIE/AREI: board, circuits, grounding and differential protection. In a sale, the rule mainly depends on the age of the file and the installation.

Asbestos inventory

The asbestos inventory identifies risky materials in a building. It becomes especially useful before works, renovation or demolition, particularly in older properties.

Frequently asked questions

What is a PEB certificate?
The PEB certificate (Energy Performance of Buildings) is an official document that rates the theoretical energy consumption of a home from A++ (very efficient, < 45 kWh/m²/year) to G (very energy-intensive, > 345 kWh/m²/year). It is issued after a full visit by a certifier approved by Bruxelles Environnement in Brussels, SPW Énergie in Wallonia or VEKA in Flanders, and includes quantified renovation recommendations.
When do I need a PEB certificate?
The PEB certificate is mandatory as soon as the property listing is published, for any sale or rental anywhere in Belgium. It must be presented to the buyer or tenant no later than the signing of the compromise or lease. Without it, the administrative fine reaches EUR 62,500 in Brussels (and the PEB score must also appear in the listing, with an additional sanction if it is missing).
How long does the PEB certifier's visit take?
Allow 30 to 45 minutes for a studio or standard apartment, 1 hour for a detached house, and up to 1h30 for a villa or a multi-unit building. The actual duration depends mainly on how complete your technical documents are: a well-prepared file shortens the visit and improves the score's accuracy.
What should I prepare before the certifier visits?
Gather in advance: construction plans, insulation work invoices, technical sheets for the boiler, windows and insulation materials, the certificate of the most recently installed boiler. Without these proofs, the certifier applies default values prescribed by Bruxelles Environnement — typically 5 to 15 % less favourable than the property's actual performance.
Is a PEB certificate really mandatory?
Yes, no exception: the PEB certificate has been mandatory in Brussels since 2011, in Wallonia since 2010 and in Flanders (EPC) since 2008 for any sale or rental. Without a valid certificate, the notary blocks the authentic deed, the agency cannot publish the listing, and the fine is administrative and automatic (up to EUR 62,500 in Brussels).
How long is a PEB certificate valid?
A PEB certificate is valid for 10 years from its issue date. If you carry out major insulation works, replace the boiler or the windows, request a new certificate before expiry: a better score (moving from E to C, for example) noticeably increases the property's value and shortens the time to sell. The previous certificate, however, remains valid until its official expiry date.
Who can issue a PEB certificate?
Only a certifier approved by the competent regional authority is allowed: Bruxelles Environnement in Brussels, SPW Énergie in Wallonia, VEKA in Flanders. The certifier has completed an official training and passed an exam on regional regulations, and the approval is publicly verifiable in the authority's register. All Sertic experts are approved and listed in those registers.
When is an electrical inspection mandatory?
An inspection is mandatory in 3 cases: new installation (before commissioning), major modification (extension of the panel, meter change) and property sale (for any domestic installation). The RGIE (General Regulation on Electrical Installations) of the SPF Économie distinguishes installations from before 1 October 1981 from more recent ones. See electrical inspection.
Can you sell with a non-compliant electrical report?
Yes, only for a domestic installation predating 1 October 1981. The sale proceeds at the notary, and the buyer then has 18 months from the authentic deed to bring the installation into compliance and obtain a new compliant report from an approved body. For installations after 1981, the report must be compliant before the sale.
Which buildings are concerned by asbestos?
Any building constructed or renovated before 1998 (the Belgian ban date), with particular risks for buildings from the 1960s to the 1980s. Asbestos is found in fibre-cement roofs, pipe insulation, tile adhesives, joints, vinyl tiles, suspended ceilings, chimney flues and service shafts. The Bel-Étage villas of the 1960s in Brussels are particularly affected.
