EPC Certificate in Molenbeek

The oldest part of Molenbeek, along the canal and around Place Communale, is dominated by 19th-century workers' terraced houses (80-130 m²) and investment buildings from 1880-1920. These properties have stone or brick facades with no insulation and predominantly single glazing. The typical EPC class is E to G. External facade insulation is often restricted by heritage considerations — roof insulation and window replacement deliver the best gains.

The Karreveld and Machtens districts, towards Anderlecht and Koekelberg, have a more residential character with semi-detached houses from 1930-1960 and apartment blocks. EPC classes range from D to F. These districts benefit from larger plots, making external insulation more feasible. Roof insulation and heating system upgrades (heat pump, condensing boiler) are the priority works.

The Maritiem district (Tour et Taxis area) is Molenbeek's showpiece urban renewal project. New residential blocks built to current energy standards (EPC A or B) have transformed the former industrial wasteland. For apartments in this district, the EPC Certificate is straightforward with excellent results. A fast-growing district attracting young professionals and families.

The Ossegem and Beekkant areas, near the Atomium and Laeken, include a mix of apartment buildings from the 1960s-70s and more recent developments. EPC classes range from D to G for older buildings. With our price from €245 for a house, EPC certification protects against fines up to €62,500.
