Buying a property with confidence: the technical and architectural keys to your property project 

Buying a property in Belgium as an expatriate can be complex: it's sometimes hard to know what to look out for, whether it's assessing the property's health, determining the budget needed for works, understanding whether planning permission needs to be applied for and how the role of an architect can be useful. The aim of this seminar is to provide you with the essential technical and architectural keys to successfully completing your property project with complete confidence. We will guide you through the crucial aspects of the buying process, to help you avoid common pitfalls and make informed choices for your future in Belgium.
