EPC Certificate in Saint-Gilles

The area around the Parvis de Saint-Gilles and the Hôtel de Ville is the lively commercial heart of the commune. The housing stock consists mainly of investment buildings from 1900-1930 subdivided into apartments (40-90 m²). The typical EPC class is D to F. Many ground floors are commercial units with apartments above — the EPC Certificate covers only the residential part of the building.

The neighbourhood around the Horta Museum and Barrière de Saint-Gilles contains the commune's finest art-nouveau townhouses. These prestigious properties (150-250 m²) have protected facades, ornate interiors and, very often, energy performance that has not kept pace with their architectural value. The typical EPC class is E to F. Interior insulation, roof insulation and high-performance glazing are the priority measures — external facade work is rarely possible.

The Ma Campagne neighbourhood, at the border with Forest, is more residential and quieter. Semi-detached and terraced houses from 1930-1960 (100-180 m²) predominate, alongside some apartment buildings. The typical EPC class is D to E. The housing stock is somewhat better insulated than the art-nouveau core, but window replacement and boiler upgrades remain the most common improvement paths.

The area near the Porte de Hal (the medieval gate) and the Maison Communale borders Brussels City and Anderlecht. It has a mix of older workers' houses and apartment buildings from various periods. With our price from €245 for a house, EPC certification is a straightforward step that protects against fines up to €62,500.
