What we check

  • Flood

    Flood hazard zones, the ground’s relief around the house, and in Wallonia the July 2021 floods and the insurance law’s risk zones.

  • Soil

    Plots on record for (possible) soil pollution, and polluted land nearby.

  • Energy

    The energy label, or an estimate when there’s none; the renovation obligation and the grants that fit.

  • Zoning & heritage

    The zoning plan, protected or listed heritage, archaeological zones, and expropriation, alignment and pre-emption plans.

  • Permits nearby

    Building permits and public inquiries nearby, and roads and railways planned or under construction.

  • Noise & air

    Noise from roads, railways and aircraft, and the air quality at the address.

  • Area risks

    Seveso sites, old mines and quarries, landslides, radon and high-voltage lines near the address.

  • Transport & schools

    Public transport, schools, shops and parks within walking distance, and the internet at the address.

How it works

  1. Type an address

    Any address in Flanders, Wallonia or Brussels.

  2. We check the official sources

    Eight topics, from the regions’ open data, in about a minute. What a region doesn’t publish is marked as unknown.

  3. Read the report

    A score, a clear light per topic, and the questions to ask the seller, the agent and the notary.

See the parcel as the regions see it

Every report puts the regions’ official maps over the parcel, so you see at a glance what’s around it.

Noise

Average noise over a day, in decibels. Busy streets light up; the report gives the level at the address.
