Urban-planning regularisation in Wavre
In Wavre, as elsewhere in Wallonia, a property's planning situation has to be assessed against the existing permits and the actual state of the building. Urbexa supports owners and investors with that review.
Situations
A situation that can be hard to reconstruct
Successive alterations to a building can make its history difficult to read.
Successive alterations
Changes that have accumulated and make the property harder to read.
Existing permits
The documents that help reconstruct what was authorised.
Actual state
The building as it exists, to be compared with those documents.
A review of the documents available reconstructs the situation and identifies the elements that need particular attention.
Diagnostic
Reconstructing the history
Urbexa uses the documents available to reconstruct the property's situation.
That review identifies the elements that need particular attention before a fuller procedure.
A planning diagnosis starts with a focused analysis.
Local context
Building subdivision in Wavre
Dividing a building has to be studied against its layout and the project envisaged.
Urbexa reviews the number of dwellings, how they are organised, access, outdoor space and any constraints of the file. Support for building subdivision continues that study.

Buying and selling
Before a purchase
A building with division potential may need a review before purchase, so commercial potential is not confused with planning feasibility.
Method
A step-by-step procedure
A planning diagnostic starts with a focused analysis before moving, if needed, to a permit or regularisation engagement.
01
Planning diagnostic
A first reading of the property, the documents on hand, and what the owner or investor actually wants to do.
02
Review of documents and permits
Finding the plans, permits and deeds that show what was authorised.
03
Identifying the gaps
Marking the differences between the existing situation and the authorised one.
04
Studying the options
Considering which procedures can be envisaged for the property and the project.
05
Preparing the file
When a procedure is worth pursuing, assembling the documents — with or without an architect, depending on the project.
06
Filing and follow-up
Submitting the file and handling exchanges with the administration.
If the file continues, the application can be prepared with an architect or through a procedure without one.
