What do I do wrong with listing my propoerty?

What do I do wrong with listing my propoerty?

Hi all,

I'm planning to leave Belgium by the end of the year and am therefore selling my apartment.

I genuinely believe it's a good investment property: the current rental income can fully cover the mortgage payments, even with 100% financing. However, despite being listed for some time, I've only had one visitor so far.

Link: Spotted on Immoweb: https://www.immoweb.be/en/ad/apartment/for-sale/st-josse-ten-noode/1210/21594244

I'm trying to understand whether the issue is:

The asking price

The photos or presentation

The description

The location (Saint-Josse)

Lack of visibility/marketing

Something else I'm overlooking

I'd really appreciate honest feedback from people who have recently sold property in Brussels or who actively browse listings. If you were looking for an apartment in this price range, what would make you skip this listing?

Any suggestions on how to improve the ad and attract more visits would be greatly appreciated.

Urgent: Crelan ghosting me on mortgage transfer right before deed signing—what are my options?

​

I’m in a high-stress spot with a property chain in Brussels and could use some advice.

The Situation:

The Plan: Selling my apartment on June 29th, buying a new one on June 30th. I need to transfer my existing Crelan mortgage (1.2% rate) to the new property vi

The Problem: Crelan has been ghosting me for weeks despite constant follow-ups. My Notary needs the bank details immediately to finalize the deed.

The Deadline: The seller refuses to move the June 30th date.

The Dilemma:

I have an emergency approval from Beobank (3.5% rate) ready to sign Monday. If I go with them, I lose my 1.2% rate forever.

Questions:

Has anyone successfully forced a "ghosting" bank to move? Does a formal mise en demeure (notice of default) actually work to get them to act?

Can the Notary help bridge this gap if I tell them the bank is the one causing the delay?

Is there any other way to avoid locking in the 3.5% rate while keeping the June 30th closing date?

Any advice on how to handle the bank or the Notary to protect the 1.2% rate would be appreciated.
