Buying in Jette? Hypoprime, mortgage broker in Jette and across the Brussels Region, compares 7 banks and negotiates your rate. Our office is in Ganshoren, right next door: we see you by appointment and, from the start, factor in the Brussels abatement, the deed costs and the condition of the property.
Sources: Statbel, via BX1; notaire.be.
Jette, in north-west Brussels, is Ganshoren’s direct neighbour. This green, residential municipality has King Baudouin Park and Laerbeek Wood, Place Reine Astrid and its shopping district, and the area around Jette station. It is also home to the UZ Brussel university hospital and the house where René Magritte lived, now a museum. You will find Brussels houses, flats in co-owned buildings and more recent buildings.
Jette remains more affordable than the Brussels average. According to Statbel, via BX1, the median price of a flat there was €210,000 in the first quarter of 2025, compared with €265,000 for the Region as a whole. Like any median, this figure varies with the neighbourhood and the condition of the property.
For a purchase in Jette, three points deserve your attention:
A first purchase: for a first home, the abatement can significantly reduce the registration duties, provided you meet its conditions before the sales agreement.
The condition of the property and its EPC: an older house may need work, to be included in the budget. See EPC (PEB) and mortgages (in French).
The loan-to-value: with little own funds, the file must be particularly strong; some banks finance up to 100% of the purchase price, on a case-by-case basis.
Jette is in the Brussels-Capital Region, where registration duties amount to 12.5% of the price. For your only own home, however, the abatement exempts the first €200,000. According to notaire.be, the saving therefore reaches €25,000, for a property of up to €600,000. Your mortgage broker in Jette builds it into your financing plan from the outset.
| Purchase price | Duties without abatement | Duties with abatement | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| €210,000 | €26,250 | €1,250 | €25,000 |
| €300,000 | €37,500 | €12,500 | €25,000 |
| €400,000 | €50,000 | €25,000 | €25,000 |
Calculation: 12.5% of the price, with or without deducting €200,000. Excluding the notary’s fees and other deed costs.
On the date of the sales agreement, you must not own any other property intended for housing, in Belgium or abroad. You must then establish your main residence in the property within 3 years (5 years if you carry out an energy renovation), and keep it there for 5 years (notaire.be).
For a personal check, ask your notary before signing. See also registration duties and notary fees (in French).
Take a flat bought for €210,000, the median price quoted above. With the abatement, the registration duties come to €1,250, compared with €26,250 without it. On top of this come the notary’s fees and the deed costs, which you pay.
Now assume a loan of €190,000 over 25 years, at an illustrative fixed rate of 4%. The monthly repayment, excluding insurance, is about €1,003. At 3.70%, it falls by about €31 a month: that is why comparing banks and negotiating your rate matters.
Illustrative example: neither a client file nor an offer. The actual rate depends on your profile, the loan-to-value and the bank. See fixed or variable rate (in French) and the cost of a mortgage (in French).
Every file is different. As your mortgage broker in Jette, we study your situation, then present your project to the most suitable banks:
The abatement changes your budget: we take it into account from the first simulation. Home mortgage.
Financing up to 100% of the purchase price can be considered, case by case; purchase costs remain your responsibility. Buying without own funds (in French).
Purchase and renovation can often be financed together, based on quotes. EPC (PEB) and mortgages (in French).
A bridging loan can finance your purchase while you sell your current property. Bridging loan.
A new rate, or consolidating loans as part of a mortgage refinancing. Refinancing.
A refusal does not close every door: we first analyse its causes. Getting a loan after a refusal (in French).
A broker does not replace the bank: they help you choose the right one and present a solid file to it. In practice:
Comparing 7 banks and negotiating your rate: criteria, rates and lead times vary from one lender to another; we champion your file to obtain the best possible conditions.
Preparing a complete file: income, expenses and budget are checked before submission. See the documents for a mortgage (in French).
Anticipating costs: abatement, registration duties and deed costs are built into the financing plan.
Protecting your sales agreement: we discuss the loan condition and the timetable before you sign. See using a broker (in French).
Your application moves forward in four steps:
First conversation: you tell us about your project, your budget and the property you have in mind.
Analysis: we check income, expenses, own funds, loan-to-value and type of rate.
Comparison: we present your application to the banks best suited to your profile and negotiate your rate.
Offer and deed: we review the offer with you, then your notary prepares the deed.
According to Statbel, via BX1, the median price of a flat in Jette was €210,000 in the first quarter of 2025, below the regional average of €265,000. This figure is indicative: the actual price depends on the neighbourhood, the condition of the property and its EPC.
Yes, because Jette is part of the Brussels-Capital Region. According to notaire.be, the abatement exempts the first €200,000 of the price from registration duties, for a property of up to €600,000. In particular, you must not own any other home, and you must make the property your main residence within the required time.
This is often possible: the bank then finances the purchase price and the works costed on quotes, within the limit of the property’s value and your repayment capacity. The Brussels Region’s Renolution grants can also reduce the cost of some works, under conditions. Purchase costs remain your responsibility.
On top of the price, you pay registration duties (12.5% in Brussels, after any abatement), the notary’s fees and the deed costs, including those of the mortgage deed. These costs remain your responsibility: estimate them with our notary fees simulator (in French).
Sometimes, yes. Depending on your profile, some banks finance up to 100% of the purchase price, on a case-by-case basis. Notary fees, however, remain your responsibility. No approval is guaranteed, but a well-prepared file gives you the best chances of approval. See buying without own funds (in French).
Talk to your notary and your broker first. Then include a loan condition (condition suspensive) with a realistic deadline: a bank’s approval often takes two to four weeks with a complete file. Also read the mistakes to avoid in the sales agreement (in French).
