Merksem is a strong rental and investment market: many 1930s-60s row houses around Bredabaan, Gasthuishoevestraat and Groenendaallaan are split into 2-3 flats. Along the Albert Canal and the Kadewijk site: recent new-build apartments with healthy co-ownership reserves.
Sale drivers in Merksem: investor exit from an entirely tenanted split row house (9-year lease), inheritance with contents in the classic Runcvoortpark family homes, divorce buy-out, or a retired couple moving to assisted living along Bredabaan.
Mini-case Merksem: a fully tenanted investment block along Bredabaan, three units on 9-year leases (two tenants for more than 6 years). The investor owner (72) wanted to wind down without disturbing tenants. We took over the three leases, deposits and admin discreetly via the notary — no viewing, no prior letter, deed in five weeks.
Selling in Merksem: agent, yourself or to us?

With 1930s-60s terraced houses, investment properties around Bredabaan, new-build apartments along Albert Canal, the condition of the property decides: a move-in-ready home does well on the open market, while a property needing renovation, an expired inspection or a full contents load loses time and price there.
