What is the Flemish interest-subsidised renovation loan?

If you're taking out a mortgage loan to buy a home whose energy performance is poor and you make this property much more energy efficient within 5 years, you can take out a Flemish interest-subsidised renovation loan to cover the work required to improve energy efficiency. The Flemish government pays this interest subsidy on the renovation loan if you meet all the conditions in place.

What are the conditions?

A brief summary:

  • You acquire full ownership of the property by buying it, buying out your partner or by demolishing and rebuilding it
  • The property you bought is located in the Flemish Region
  • You apply for the Flemish renovation loan at the same time as the mortgage loan for buying the property
  • Your house or apartment has EPC label E or F when ownership is transferred and the renovation work enables it to obtain a D label or better within5 years

All the relevant conditions are published on the Flemish Government's website.

Golden tip
