FAQ

Belgian law requires the official inspection report (PV) to be issued in French (for properties in Brussels or Wallonia) or Dutch (for properties in Flanders). We provide an English summary and full explanation at no extra cost on request — just mention it when booking.

Yes, since 2008, an electrical inspection is mandatory before any property sale in Belgium. It is also required for meter activation, periodic compliance (every 25 years for residential) and for short-term rentals (every 2 years).

Typically 30 to 90 minutes for a residential property, depending on size and complexity. Industrial sites or HV cabins take 90 to 180 minutes.

For a residential electrical inspection, the official report is handed to you the same day, on site, at the end of the inspection. For non-residential installations and other inspection types, allow 24 to 48 hours. The signed PDF is sent to you by email; you can then forward it to your notary or grid operator (Sibelga, Fluvius, Ores, RESA).

You receive a non-compliance report with the specific issues. For a property sale, you have 18 months from the notarial deed to make corrections — this does not block the transaction. We offer a discounted re-inspection (€95) once the work is done.

It depends on the inspection type and use case:
• Electrical (residential, compliant): 25 years
• Electrical (non-residential): 5 years
• Electrical (short-term rental / Airbnb): 2 years
• EPC certificate: 10 years
• Propane tank: 5 years
• Fire detection: 1 year (annual periodic)
• HV cabin: 1 year (annual periodic)

For an electrical inspection: provide owner contact details, the EAN code (on your electricity bill), and if available the single-line and layout diagrams. If diagrams are missing, their absence is recorded as a non-conformity in the report — our ISO 17020 independence forbids us from drafting them for you; have your electrician prepare them in advance.

Yes — you or someone with access to the entire installation must be on site. The inspector needs to access the meter, distribution boards, all rooms and (for gas) all appliances.
