Antwerp: start with the property, not a neighbourhood average
The City of Antwerp directs property-transfer information requests to the Vastgoedinformatieplatform. The file includes permit information and the most recent planning designation. Its parcel-information platform helps you consult planning rules for a specific plot. An address or a familiar neighbourhood name alone does not establish what is permitted.
Has a house been divided, an extension added or a shop converted into a dwelling? Compare the current use with the plans and municipal records. Ask your notary how any discrepancy affects the sale. A direct purchase does not replace this check or automatically legalise an unauthorised use.
