Do you want to adapt your home in a sustainable and efficient way to the needs of your family or your tenants? This is a good decision and a sustainable investment that will also increase the value of your home.
Moreover, the Flemish government has decided to make renovation compulsory as of 2023 for anyone buying an energy-consuming home. Whoever buys a house with label E or lower, has to make the necessary efforts to bring the building up to level D within five years!
