Local context Borgerhout
Borgerhout (intra and extra muros) runs on narrow 19th-century worker row houses around Turnhoutsebaan, the Moorkensplein area and Krugerstraat. Fronts 3.5-4.5 m, EPC E or F, no central heating or an old gas wall boiler, and often an informal split into 2-3 units without an official City of Antwerp permit.
Sale drivers: inheritance with siblings partly abroad (Morocco, Turkey), investor exit after the tightened Antwerp splitting rules, buy-out after divorce, or a vacant property hit by the Antwerp vacancy tax. We regularise splitting files ourselves after purchase.
Mini-case Borgerhout: an inherited house near Moorkensplein, informally split into three without a permit, EPC F, one sitting tenant. Four heirs — two in Antwerp, two in Casablanca. Offer within 24 hours, deed six weeks later at their Antwerp notary with a Casablanca proxy, sitting tenant and the splitting-permit regularisation fully taken over.
