Your mortgage broker in Belgium

Getting a mortgage in Belgium is not just about comparing rates: each bank has its own approval criteria, its own way of calculating your borrowing capacity and its policy of the moment. For the same file, the difference in conditions, and sometimes in decision, between two banks is considerable.

Our role is therefore to analyse your situation, structure your file and present it to the banks best suited to your profile. Employee, self-employed, first-time buyer or already an owner: we build your file and defend it with the banks, for better chances of approval.

Financing up to 100 % of the purchase price

It is one of the most frequent questions: do you need large own funds to buy in Belgium? The honest answer: not always.

The 100 % loan : several of our partner banks finance the full price of the property for good profiles, especially first-time buyers with stable income.

Purchase costs still need to be planned for : a 100 % loan covers the price of the property, not the registration duties or the notary fees. You therefore need savings at least equal to these costs.

However, these formulas are reserved for solid files, and this is precisely the kind of solution a broker knows how to identify and negotiate. Each situation is analysed individually: no financing without own funds can be guaranteed before the complete study of the file.

Also, if your savings are limited, do not give up before doing the maths: read our guide to buying without own funds or test your borrowing capacity.

Notary fees still need to be planned for

In principle, no. Purchase costs (registration duties, notary's fees, mortgage deed costs) are added to the price of the property and remain at your expense, even when the bank finances 100 % of the price. Their amount depends mainly on the region:

  • In Brussels : the allowance can remove registration duties on the first €200,000 for the home you will live in (price and charges up to €600,000).
  • In Flanders and Wallonia : reduced rates of 2 % and 3 % exist for your own and only home, under conditions.

That is why, before signing an offer, calculate the total cost of your purchase with our notary fees simulator, so you will know exactly what savings to plan for. The detailed rules are also available on the website of the Belgian notaries.

A mortgage broker who knows what banks in Belgium require

First, getting a mortgage in Belgium does not depend only on your income. Banks analyse the quality of the property, including its EPC which increasingly influences the rate, the overall consistency of the project, your financial stability and the balance between your charges and your income.

Then we structure your file in a clear and solid way, for better chances of approval, and we know which bank will best value your income: for the same household, the difference in borrowing capacity between two banks can be significant.

Whatever your home project

  • Main residence : your first purchase or the next one, with a monthly payment suited to your budget.
  • Purchase without or with limited own funds : financing up to 100 % of the price depending on the profile, purchase costs to plan for.
  • Purchase with renovation : the renovation budget included in the loan, in a single operation, including the energy works required for properties with a poor EPC.
  • Second home : in Belgium, or abroad via a guarantee on a Belgian property, see our guide to buying abroad.
  • After a bank refusal : a refusal is not the end, we redirect your file to the lenders likely to accept it.

Brussels, Wallonia, Flanders: we master the three regimes

Based in Brussels, we support borrowers throughout Belgium, and each region has its own rules, which change the total cost of your purchase:

  • Brussels : allowance on the first €200,000, up to €25,000 saved, which can be increased in the case of energy renovation, your local broker in Brussels.
  • Wallonia : reduced rate of 3 % for your own and only home.
  • Flanders : reduced rate of 2 % under conditions tightened in 2026, our guide to buying in Flanders.

Finally, calculate your costs precisely with our notary fees simulator, or read the complete guide to registration duties.

Frequently asked questions about a mortgage in Belgium

Can you really borrow 100 % of the price in Belgium?

Yes, for certain profiles, especially first-time buyers with stable income. In 2019, the National Bank of Belgium asked banks to limit the share of loans exceeding 90 % of the property value, leaving a wider margin for first-time buyers. A 100 % loan finances the purchase price; the purchase costs remain at your expense. The choice of bank makes all the difference.

Can notary fees be included in the loan?

In principle, no: the purchase costs (registration duties, notary fees, loan deed) are paid with your savings. That is why own funds at least equal to these costs are generally still needed, even for a loan of 100 % of the price.

What is the minimum own contribution to plan for?

In most cases, own funds covering at least the purchase costs are still needed. Their amount depends greatly on the region and your situation: in Brussels, the allowance can reduce them considerably. Estimate them with our notary fees simulator; each file is then calculated individually.

\n
How long does it take to get approval?

With a complete file, generally count on two to four weeks between submitting the application and approval, a period to anticipate in the conditional clause of your purchase offer.

Is your support really free?

Yes. We are paid by the bank that grants the loan, only if your file goes through. You pay no fees or additional file costs, and the rate obtained is not increased as a result.
