Property management · Brussels and Walloon Brabant
Your Brussels property, managed while you live elsewhere.
One named contact who speaks English, answers the phone, and knows your building.
Three things that do not travel well
What has to be done locally, on time
The lease, registered
Belgian tenancy law is regional and the lease must be registered. A missing registration weakens your position.
Indexation, claimed in writing
It is never automatic. Only three months can be recovered; anything older is lost for good.
The EPC deadline
In Brussels, rented homes must reach class E by 1 January 2033. Buyers already price the gap in.

Très bonne expérience avec l’agence Contigo ! Un grand merci à Gauthier pour sa disponibilité, son écoute et son accompagnement! J’ai apprécié les échanges, toujours simples et agréables, ainsi que le suivi de ma demande. Je recommande vivement cette agence ! Belle continuation à toute l’équipe ✨✨
L'accompagnement par Aurélie fut une experience inénarrable en soi. En effet, alors que j'ai déjà cotoyé pas mal d'agences dans ma longue vie, celle-ci fut enluminée par un mélange de loyauté, de professionnalisme et d'humanisme engagé. J'ai eu l'impression d'être accompagné à tous moments pour faire face à un monde particulier et complexe où il est indispensable de recourir à de vrais professionnels engagés et honnêtes. J'ai eu la chance d'être aidé par une personne passionnée qui vibre par l'exercice rigoureux de son métier. Bravo en tous les cas et un grand merci.
Je recommande cette équipe et particulièrement Mr COLL Philippe qui prend son travail très a cœur et est tjs la pour donner des solutions pratiques et adaptées aux problèmes rencontrés toujours avec pondération et suivi. Aussi dans la langue de Shakespeare. C est ce genre de personne dont nous avons besoin. Dr van lierde.
Frequently asked
Before handing over the keys
Do I have to be in Belgium to sign?
No. The management mandate can be signed remotely, and we handle the lease and its registration locally.
Which language will I be dealing with?
English, French or Dutch. You are given one named contact, not a call centre.
Can you take over a property that is already rented?
Yes. The existing lease continues unchanged; we take over collection, indexation and day-to-day management.
What happens if the tenant stops paying?
A formal notice is sent from the first missed payment, followed by conciliation and, if needed, the justice of the peace.
What is the EPC deadline in Brussels?
Rented homes in the Brussels-Capital Region must reach EPC class E by 1 January 2033. We track your class and tell you what it changes.
