How to sell or rent out your property in Walloon Brabant or Hainaut under the best conditions ?

Selling your house in Waterloo or renting out your apartment in Mons is much more than just a simple transaction. It’s often a major life project, sometimes an important step for your family or your investment portfolio.But how do you set the right price, quickly find a serious buyer or tenant, and avoid unpleasant surprises?

Thanks to our experience as a real estate agency specializing in Walloon Brabant and Hainaut, at Mesh-home, we help many homeowners each year successfully complete their real estate projects under the best conditions. In this article, discover all the essential steps, practical advice, and pitfalls to avoid.

Why is good preparation essential when selling or renting out your property?

Many owners think that selling or renting their property is “just a formality.” But the reality of the real estate market is often more complex. Without proper preparation, you risk:

• overestimating or underestimating the value of your house or apartment, which can extend the time it takes to sell or make you lose money;

• attracting buyers or tenants who aren’t serious or financially stable;

• having to handle calls, visits, technical questions, and all the admin work yourself, which takes a lot of time and can become stressful.

On the other hand, with solid preparation and the support of a local agency like Mesh-home, you greatly increase your chances of selling or renting quickly, at the best price, and with complete peace of mind.

Setting the right price: key to saving time (and money)

The most important step is determining the fair value of your property. A price set too high compared to the local market will slow down visits and force you to lower it after several months, which sends a negative signal. A price too low simply reduces your capital.

In Walloon Brabant and Hainaut, prices vary significantly from one municipality to another:

• In Waterloo, the average price per m² for a modern house with a garden is often higher than in Nivelles or Braine-l’Alleud.

• In Mons or La Louvière, a well-maintained apartment with a good energy certificate (PEB) quickly finds takers, but the demand is not the same as in Walloon Brabant.

To assess the value of your property, we analyze:

• recent sales in your street or neighborhood,

• the overall condition of your house or apartment (renovations, electrical compliance, insulation),

• and specific features: terrace, garden, garage, open views.

At Mesh-home, we offer a free, no-obligation property valuation, directly on site, to give you an objective, realistic opinion.

Showcasing your property: creating a first impression that sparks interest

Today, 90% of real estate searches start online. Photos and first impressions are crucial. A polished listing allows you to attract more qualified visits and sell or rent out faster.

Here are a few simple tips:

• Declutter and tidy up your rooms, so they look more spacious.

• Maximize light, open curtains and switch on lights.

• Fix small visible defects: a leaking tap, a loose baseboard, a scuffed wall.

• Do a thorough cleaning before photos and visits.

We often use professional real estate photographers to take high-quality images that showcase your property at its best.

Finding serious buyers or tenants

Publishing your listing on the main Belgian real estate portals (Immoweb, Zimmo, Logic-Immo…) is essential. But that alone isn’t enough.

To successfully sell or rent, you also need to:

• target the right audience depending on your property: families with children, young couples, investors seeking rental yield.

• respond quickly to inquiries, so you don’t lose an interested buyer or tenant.

• check the financial stability of tenants before signing, to avoid unpaid rent.

At Mesh-home, we handle contact management, screening applicants, and organizing visits, so you only meet with reliable, motivated candidates.

Guiding the transaction all the way to completion

Whether you’re selling your house in Nivelles or renting out an apartment in La Louvière, the transaction doesn’t stop at a verbal agreement.

You also need to:

• put together a complete file (PEB energy certificate, electrical inspection, fuel tank certificate, plans, property title),

• draft a secure agreement or lease contract,

• and guide both parties through to the notary’s signing or key handover.

Our agency manages all these formalities, working closely with your notary, to ensure the transaction is 100% secure and stress-free for you.
