Our experts take care of everything.
They talked about our services:
You want to sell your property, but your notary or estate agent has turned into a bird of ill omen? Are urban planning irregularities going to have a direct impact on your sale price, or even make it difficult to sell?
You've received an official statement of offence from your local authority, following an officer's report or a complaint, and you're tachycardic?
Do you want to pass on your heritage without leaving a corpse in the closet?
Are you looking to buy a property while making sure that (the wallpaper is to your liking) your future acquisition is in good town-planning order?
Want to divide up a building to increase its resale value (and pay for ski vacations)?
Our team of Ubex specialists (architects, surveyors, legal experts, urban planners, acousticians, engineers, hydrologists, etc.) will help you find the best solution to regularize urban planning violations and irregularities on your properties in Brussels, Wallonia and Flanders.
(And that's why we do it well.)
A property in breach of town-planning regulations is a property that will not sell, or will sell poorly. A single-family home with an undeclared annex can easily be undervalued by 20-30% or more, depending on market conditions. And potential buyers are very reluctant to buy a non-compliant property. Who wouldn't be?
Ubex not only saves you money on resale, but also allows you to increase the value of the improvements and embellishments you've made. A single-family home with a tidy annex increases its surface area, and therefore its price. CQFD.
Another way to increase your capital gain is to legally divide your property and resell it in lots. And guess what? Ubex can also help you with the feasibility of this type of project.
A planning violation is not a problem. Just an equation to be solved. And that's exactly what we do.
We keep a close watch on regulatory developments in the sector: our experts are constantly monitoring legislative changes.
In fact, Ubex provides them with a genuine training program to enable them to build up their skills over the years, and give their customers the best possible advice. (Which is probably why some local authorities are trying to poach our staff).
Receiving an official letter from the planning authorities giving you just 3 months to get your house in order (either by regularizing or demolishing) is stressful. We know how stressful it can be.
But there is often a third way. That's why we're here to help you talk to your local authority to find the right solution and make your demands understandable, even if you're not a specialist in planning law.
Even for a "simple" regularization file, several experts are needed: a surveyor, a PEB manager, an architect, a lawyer... With Ubex, you have just one contact: your project manager coordinates all these specialists.

Kim regularized our application for a permit to paint the exterior doors of our church. She guided us diligently and professionally through the entire process. Every step of the way, we appreciated the quality of her guidance and the clarity of the instructions she always gave us, with optimism and confidence in the success of the work. Without ever reproaching us for our delays or slowness in responding to her, Kim was always very patient and courteous. So it was without a hitch or a hiccup that our infraction was regularized thanks to Kim. We'd like to thank her for all this
Sincerely,
Paul-Marie Honhon, president of the Etablissement Fabrique d'église Ste Agathe in Berchem-Ste-Agathe.
* Subject to your responsiveness to our various requests.
The deadline may vary depending on the complexity of your situation. Generally speaking, we can submit your file to the Namur municipality within 2 months of the start of our collaboration.
Every situation is unique. Our rates are based on time spent, ensuring fair and transparent billing. On average, fees for regularization range from €1,300 to €7,900. After analyzing your request, the Ubex manager in charge of your file will draw up a free, no-obligation estimate based on your needs at the start of the assignment. For an estimate tailored to your situation, the easiest way is to contact one of our experts. During the first meeting, you'll have all the information you need to make up your own mind.
Our added value compared to a traditional architectural firm is that we only deal with this type of file. Where do you think you have the best chance of obtaining your regularization permit?
Although technically possible, the complexity of Belgium's town-planning regulations makes the process difficult for non-professionals. Putting together the application file can be laborious, and the list of documents to be supplied lengthy. For the application to be declared compliant by the town planning department, it must include a complete file of plans and other architectural documents, as well as an administrative section. When you call on Ubex , you can be sure of a stress-free and efficient regularization of your project.
A regularization permit is the administrative process used to regularize the administrative situation of a property that does not comply with local town-planning regulations and/or those of the CoDT (Code du Développement Territorial applicable in Wallonia, which defines the rules of good territorial planning). This procedure generally concerns the "uncontrolled" construction of annexes or the unauthorized modification of a property. The Administration can impose fines or require restoration.
Undeclared extensions, the division of a property into several dwellings/kots, changes of use following the conversion of a property or the construction of a carport over 40m2 are the most frequent requests for regularization that our architects deal with. Find out more in our article on town planning infringements.
"Hello, this is great news! I'd like to thank you for the work you've done despite the rather long deadline. The file was quite complex and particularly well done and very complete! I'll be sure to recommend you to my colleagues and others. Best regards. MD"
