Investing in Real Estate

Investing in real estate with an eye on the future

An additional source of income, building wealth or planning ahead, real estate can play a valuable role in your long-term plans. You invest in a tangible asset that may generate rental income. A considered choice starts with attention to the property, the total investment and the costs associated with ownership.

At LLYDA, we look beyond the purchase itself. We combine carefully selected locations, energy-efficient homes and personal guidance, with attention to both the future resident and you as an investor.

Investing in homes where people enjoy living

For us, an attractive real estate investment starts with a home that meets the needs of its residents. Those needs continue to evolve. The Belgian Federal Planning Bureau expects the number of households in Belgium to grow in the long term, with fewer people per household on average. This underlines the importance of a varied range of practically designed homes.

That is why our projects focus on accessibility, nearby amenities, comfortable layouts and pleasant outdoor spaces. We do not merely develop square metres, but places where people can feel at home. From that perspective, we invest in long-term living quality and lettability.

Energy efficiency as an advantage

Anyone investing today must also consider tomorrow’s expectations. New-build homes in Flanders must meet requirements for insulation, energy performance and ventilation. From 2030, minimum EPC labels will also apply within the Flemish housing quality standards, becoming progressively stricter thereafter. Energy performance therefore deserves a permanent place in your investment decision.

At LLYDA, we combine energy-efficient technologies with carefully considered architecture and thoughtfully selected materials. We look not only at appearance, but also at comfort, ease of maintenance and lifespan. In this way, we build with the quality of your property in mind, including after completion.

A clear view of your investment

An attractive rent does not tell the whole story. For a realistic view of the return, purchase costs, possible financing, taxes, maintenance and management must also be taken into account. It is also wise to allow for unexpected expenses and periods without a tenant.

That is why we value a considered decision more than an attractive percentage on paper. Your budget, expectations and intended investment horizon form the starting point. This allows you to approach real estate not as a short-term promise, but as a well-considered part of your future plans.

Purchasing at 6% VAT under certain conditions

In certain demolition and reconstruction projects, investors may also purchase a home at the reduced VAT rate of 6%. For direct private rental, conditions include a maximum habitable area of 175 m², a rental purpose of at least 15 years and registration of the tenant’s domicile. The benefit does not apply automatically, all legal conditions must be met and continue to be met.

Ask about the possibilities for the project that interests you and have the application of the reduced rate to your purchase confirmed in advance by your notary or tax adviser.

Your property, professionally managed

Investing does not mean that you have to handle every day-to-day rental concern yourself. With LLYDA’s property management service, you can also entrust the management of your property to us.

From finding a suitable tenant and preparing the tenancy agreement to monitoring payments, administration and technical questions, we provide a central point of contact and personal follow-up. You retain the overview while we take care of the daily management.

Within LLYDA, we therefore combine the development of your property with the option of having it professionally managed afterwards.
