Actually_NoHi. Searching for an apartment in Brussels is such a 'nightmare' and I cant find anything good on the usual sites. I earn more than 2500 euro net every month and want at least 50m2 with some furniture in a nice area for 1350 euro including charges. What are the best ways to actually find a place here?
Accepted answer
the_pastry_pathTry Immoweb or Immovlan for the big stuff or use Spotahome for a quick verified stay. You should check Facebook groups like BXL A LOUER too but remember that agents are paid by the landlord so you should never pay a fee to them. Evere near the bus 12 line or parts of Schaerbeek and Anderlecht near Veeweyde offer great value and you must use Irisrent and MyRent for the lease since the new rules started last year. Also, make sure your deposit is held in an approved guarantee form and not cash since the 2 month cap started in late 2024.
vibe_check_be2Checking out the local agents in person in certain neighborhoods def helps sometimes! It's way better for getting 'first dibs' on stuff before it hits the 'boring' websites!
