Atlas Pro · Notary offices
Technical inspections for notaries
Electrical reports within 48 hours on average for residential installations (24-48h non-residential), charging station reports handed over the same day on site for residential installations (24-48h non-residential), gas and EPC reports delivered within 24-48h before the deed, sent directly to your office, with a fully traceable process to defend your liability.
What can derail an authentic deed
A property sale file in Belgium requires 3 to 5 technical inspections. Here is how Atlas Pro secures their delivery before the deed:
Sales agreement signed, inspections incomplete
Atlas delivers the electrical report within 48 hours on average for residential installations (24-48h non-residential), hands over charging station reports the same day on site for residential installations (24-48h non-residential), and delivers gas and EPC reports within 24-48h, with a turnaround guarantee written into the framework agreement — your signing no longer falls through because of an inspection delay.
Reports delivered at the last minute
Atlas sends the report directly to your office (and to the agency if you wish), in time-stamped PDF format with a QR verification code.
Notarial liability risk in case of a missing report
Our process guarantees full traceability: request, intervention, report, electronic signature of the inspector. Your file is defensible in case of dispute.
Sellers scattered across Belgium
Our 4 offices (Brussels, Vilvoorde, Liège, Ghent) cover all of Belgium with a bilingual FR/NL report of your choice — useful for mixed deeds.
All inspections attachable to the deed
Atlas Contrôle is accredited by BELAC (No. 663-INSP) for the electrical and gas inspections required before a property sale, and approved for the EPC.
Property sale bundle — electrical + gas + EPC
The inspections requested before a sale, delivered together, with a legally binding report sent directly to your office.
Electrical inspection at sale
Mandatory when selling a dwelling whose installation dates from before 1 October 1981 and never underwent a full conformity examination, including on resale (RGIE, Book 1, 8.4.2).
EPC certificate before deed
The EPC certificate must be annexed to the authentic deed. Atlas is an approved PEB certifier in the 3 regions.
Gas sales inspection
Not mandatory for a sale, but often requested by the buyer. Atlas is accredited by BELAC (No. 663-INSP) for gas installation inspections.
PEB boiler acceptance
Required when a new boiler is installed (useful when selling a recently renovated property).
EV charging station inspection
To be requested if the property is equipped with a charger — otherwise the notary may be held liable for failure to inform the buyer.

Request a quotationNotary questions
Can the deed be signed if the report is non-compliant?
Yes — the non-conformity must be disclosed to the buyer and annexed to the deed. The buyer then has 18 months from the deed to bring the installation up to standard (RGIE, Book 1, 8.4.2). Atlas provides you with an explicit report listing items to correct, making buyer disclosure easier.
What exactly is the turnaround commitment for an urgent signing?
For Atlas Pro offices: appointment within 24 to 48 hours for the electrical inspection, report within 48 hours on average for residential installations (24-48h non-residential). For gas and EPC inspections: visit within 24 to 48 h, report within 48h after the visit.
Is the Atlas report legally binding?
Yes. Atlas Contrôle is accredited by BELAC under No. 663-INSP for RGIE and gas inspections, and approved for PEB certification. Our reports carry the inspector's electronic signature and are binding before Belgian courts on the same footing as any other report from an accredited body.
How does payment work? Advance to the office account or office invoicing?
Two options: (1) direct invoicing to the seller (classic mode, to be settled before signing the deed), or (2) payment by advance on the office account with settlement at signing. The second option simplifies tracking for high-volume offices.
Can Atlas handle Flemish properties for our Brussels office?
Yes. Our Vilvoorde and Ghent offices cover all of Flanders. Reports available in native NL, compliant with Flemish requirements (EPB type A for the EPC in particular). Our commercial team and inspectors are bilingual.
