Disclosure requirements



In Wallonia, the Walloon Code of Town and Country Planning, Urban Development and Heritage (CWATUP) makes it compulsory to include certain planning information on public signs.

Article 152 of the CWATUP stipulates that public signs for real estate for sale or to let for a period of more than 9 years must contain certain planning information specified in that Code.

Unlike in Flanders, this obligation does not yet apply to advertisements. By "public sign", the Code is referring to signs posted on the property for sale or rent and not advertising designed to attract potential buyers or tenants. Therefore, there is not (yet) a real disclosure requirement for adverts.

However, it is compulsory to include planning information in legal documents and on public signs. And while the omission of this information is not punishable under the CWATUP itself, it is punished by other legislation (under civil liability, for instance).

The following information must be included in any deed of sale or on any public sign:

  1. The designated land use, in accordance with the naming system of the Regional Development Plan
  2. Whether urbanisation can be carried on the land in question,
  3. Planning reports or permits concerning the property for sale

And you, what do you think about it?
