The real estate sector has been unclear since the announcement of the reconfinement on Friday. The FPS Economy ruled on the issue on Monday: no, real estate agents and individuals can no longer organize in-person visits for prospective tenants and buyers.
During the first containment, last spring, visits to goods for sale and rent were no longer allowed. However, the sector believes that this time it is legally still possible: “The ministerial decree does not give any element indicating that it is prohibited”, reacts Dorien Stevens of the Professional Institute of Estate Agents (IPI).
An artistic blur that tastes of déjà vu. “During the first lockdown, it wasn’t until non-essential travel was banned that visits were also banned. However, today, non-essential travel is not prohibited ”, explains Steven Lee, of the IPI in La Libre. “We are trying to clarify the situation, because 11,000 members do not know which foot to dance on.” It seems that the terms of the decree remain subject to interpretation.
“Notaries and municipal social housing companies can continue to work. They carry out visits. However, we were told that everything would be done to avoid unfair competition ”, deplores Dorien Stevens after the communication from the FPS Economy, which decides for an outright ban.
And the problem obviously does not arise only for professionals: anyone wishing to sell or rent their home will not be able to organize open houses, according to the FPS Economy on the basis of measures decided by the government. In the case of individuals, the prevailing rule is that of only one close contact allowed to visit a home. It is therefore not possible to chain visits.
Virtual tours (online) are still possible for professionals as well as for individuals but it is obvious that they are not enough to convince most buyers.
