Woluwe-Saint-Lambert is a residential municipality in eastern Brussels, with many apartment buildings from the 1950s to the 1970s along Avenue de Broqueville and around Place Saint-Lambert, terraced houses, villas and several parks. The UCLouvain medical campus and the Saint-Luc clinics draw students and healthcare staff.
Renovating period apartments (flooring, original wiring, often a small bathroom), insulating flat roofs and façades, replacing windows, open kitchens.
1960s buildings often have many co-owners: the syndic's approval and compliance with the house rules (working hours, protection of the lift) are unavoidable. We ask for these documents before fixing the schedule and plan for rubble to be removed through the permitted access routes.
In Woluwe-Saint-Lambert we mostly renovate apartments in buildings from the 1950s to the 1970s. For the projects we see most often here, expect in general: a full renovation of 85 m² (standard range): €108,000 to €135,000; a 9 m² fitted kitchen, installation included (standard range): €13,000 to €23,000; a complete 5 m² bathroom (standard range): €12,000 to €16,000. Amounts include 6% VAT (home over 10 years old), for a site in average condition. The exact price depends on the property's condition: we set it after the free visit.
The RENOLUTION grants will not return: the 2027 regional budget, agreed on 4 October 2026, plans zero-interest loans for energy renovation instead, expected in spring 2027. On obligations, every Brussels home will need an EPB certificate and must reach class E (275 kWh/m²/year) by 1 January 2033 at the latest. And since 1 June 2025, no oil boiler may be installed during works.
Can I replace the windows of an apartment in a co-owned building?
Often the co-ownership imposes a common model to keep the façade uniform. The rules must be checked and, if needed, the general meeting's approval obtained. We ask for these documents before pricing.
How long does it take to redo a bathroom in an apartment?
Count 12 to 18 working days on site for a complete renovation, plus 2 to 4 weeks' delivery for tiles and fixtures, which we order as soon as the quote is signed.
My building in Woluwe has shared oil heating: what will happen?
The existing boiler can keep running, but a new oil boiler can no longer be installed. Its replacement is decided by the co-owners' meeting: the right time to compare a gas condensing boiler with a heat pump.
