Living in a condominium means sharing much more than a building: it means sharing a living environment. At Gestea, we support co-owners, landlords and residents on a daily basis to ensure rigorous, transparent management in full compliance with Belgian law.

With high rents, strong demand, and sometimes questionable listings, searching for student housing in Belgium can quickly become challenging. In cities like Brussels, Louvain-la-Neuve, or Liège, competition is real, and being well prepared is key to avoiding unpleasant surprises.

To help you understand provision calls as a whole, we have prepared a list of questions on the subject.

When a co-owner wishes to carry out works that affect the common parts or modify the external appearance of the building, prior authorisation is mandatory.

Attending your first co-owners’ General Assembly can be unsettling. Legal documents, figures, voting rules, sometimes technical discussions… Yet this meeting is an essential moment to understand how your building is managed and to make your voice heard as a co-owner.

The General Assembly (GA) is an essential moment in the life of a condominium. It is during this meeting that the key decisions concerning the management of the building are taken, including the budget, the granting of discharge, works, and elections.

If you live in a co-ownership building, you are certainly concerned by the recommendations relating to collective heating in apartment buildings. Collective heating, whether gas or electric, is governed by several rules in Belgium.

We review all the advantages and disadvantages of a collective heating system in a condominium. Collective heating is a common solution in apartment buildings, especially in condominiums. It allows several dwellings to be heated from a single centralized system, but it also raises many questions among owners and tenants. In this article, we take a detailed look at how collective heating works, how it is installed and switched on, and the responsibilities of the co-owners.

More and more people are switching to electric vehicles, which increases the demand for charging infrastructure — including in apartment buildings. How is the installation of charging stations in co-owned properties carried out? What are the legal obligations, the costs, and the benefits?

In a context where energy prices are constantly changing, every household is looking for concrete solutions to reduce their bills. While some investments, such as insulation or replacing heating systems, require long-term planning, there are also simple, everyday actions that can lead to immediate savings.
