Despite crisis, in Brussels the boom of construction, comparable, probably, only with similar construction in Moscow is noted unprecedented earlier. However, unlike Moscow, than real estate prices of price for apartments in Brussels is much lower (500-1000 euros for sq.m.). 

By expert estimates, in the closest years of real estate price in Brussels considerably will increase.   In comparison with the Netherlands or Germany real estate prices in Belgium are much lower. The reason — feature of the tax legislation of the country.

 Unlike the above countries in Belgium upon purchase by the individual of the house reduction of income tax isn't provided. It does very attractive real estate acquisition for nonresidents or residents with the small income.   So, the bungalow in Flanders (in the city of Tongeren) in perfect tune at the area of a site of 1483 sq.m, with the pool, garage on two cars, four sleeping rooms, a patio will manage to the buyer approximately in 230 thousand dollars. The good apartment in Brussels with a total area about 100 sq.m will cost about  70 thousand euro. Vbelgy huge demand for so-called "social" apartments. At the population with low level of the income on payment of housing can leave to 50% of their budget. Public real estate agencies (AIS) actively developing during the last several years try to solve a problem.  

 Now in management of 14 similar agencies there are 750 households in the region. Their activity is subsidized with the regional authorities. As the property taxes and real estate in Belgium belong to local taxes, rates of taxes also are regulated at local level, cadastral cost is defined by the central bodies.   Public agencies work by the following principle: hold negotiations with the owner for lower rent and guarantee timely payments and maintenance of apartments in proper condition. Similar practice is recognized by the authorities of the most successful in comparison with allocation of subsidies for housing purchase from regional bodies.

 As the last not without justification were afraid that, having learned about receiving by the buyer of a similar subsidy, the house owner can lift a rent. But while only 1% of lessors accepts the rules (rule) of the game (brazil)  offered by it by public agencies. Owing to what agencies should go on different shifts to attract house owners, the whole strategy financially to interest the last in cooperation are developed.  

 Rent   The Bruxelles market of real estate is considered in Europe the most dynamic and promising after London and Parisian. It is promoted by the American giant companies, like General Motors, to Levi Strauss and DHL which move here the European headquarters, remove offices and buy up housing for an administrative board. Process is warmed up also by exclusively favorable environment. So rent rates on office rooms in Brussels are now 50-70 percent lower, than in other European capitals.   Rent rates on housing in comparison with many European cities here too can be considered available. 1-2 room apartment of 55-60 square meters can be rented for 400-600 euros. 3-4-roomed apartments up to 100 square meters are given the residents of Brussel for 700 - 800 euros taking into account utility costs. 

Having twice the bigger sum it is possible to rent the separate house with garage and completely equipped kitchen, and even with furniture. To the richest tenants offer just repaired 8-roomed country house with a green site in half-hectare. There is it there will be about 4.000 euros a month. Taxes and fees   For the buyers getting the house or the apartment in the secondary market, registration duty becomes the first size which should be added on to sale price. In Belgium it reaches almost record value for Western Europe - 12,5 percent from the contract sum. 

This money can be transferred in the Belgian treasury not at once, but no later than in four months from the date of purchase commission. The VAT of the transaction with housing in the secondary market in Belgium aren't assessed. If the new or unfinished house is got, registration 12,5 percent fee is raised only from earth cost. Construction is subject to taxation on a value added which makes 21 percent.   It is necessary to consider that property sale by spouses requires achievement of a full family consent. Let's tell, the house is issued on the husband, and the family uses this property as the main place of residence. In this case without a consent of the wife to sell housing the head of the family won't be able - even if legally acts as his individual owner.   

 If, having used the Belgian house, you decide it to sell, the revenue can interest fiscal bodies of Belgium.

 Tax on a capital gain at real estate sale here don't punish only those who used the house directly and I lived in it not less than 5 years. Otherwise, and also, if you got object as a gift (not to confuse to inheritance) less than 3 years ago, it is necessary to pay to the state the put 16,5 percent from "developped". By the way, as much pay here and professional dealers of housing - marchands de biens.   

 The expenditure which have been once suffered by you at registration of the transaction, and also for the first four years of life in the house, it is possible to put safely in the price. Without payment of collecting it is allowed "to develop" the capital at the rate of no more than 5 percent for each year lived in the house. If the gap between the sums of purchase and sale remains a bike, the difference should either be proved, or to pay a tax. At the one who will confirm that repair to it was done by the licensed civil engineering firm, aspiration to compensate costs of reconstruction by "surplus" of the capital don't call and with a tax won't impose. And costs of all improvements and the modernizations realized by the hands, are pure "gain" and, respectively, are assessed with a tax. Depending on the volume of services, the commission Companies make from 2 to 5% from a project cost.   Acquisition of real estate doesn't guarantee that Vysraza receive residence permit and nationality of Belgium.  

 For example, the residence permit can be received if you register the company in Belgium. Nationality is available to candidates who lived in Belgium not less than 3 years, thus inhabitants have to have the official resident status surely.   However, by means of specialists of the Bruxelles office of our company and material inputs these processes can be accelerated considerably.   Real estate in Belgium - the best way to finding of the second house in free Europe.
