How it works

  1. Type an address

    Any address in Flanders, Wallonia or Brussels.

  2. We check the official sources

    Up to seven 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.
