Process of a project in a condominium

The constraints of a collective building differ significantly from a single-family home: limited working hours, access to the elevator for debris, prior notification of neighbors about the work schedule.

Some work affecting common areas or the exterior appearance of the building requires validation from the assembly of co-owners before any work begins.

A light renovation generally lasts one to two weeks, while a complete renovation with redistribution can extend over several months depending on the project's scope.

Opening the kitchen to the living room, a common request

What it concretely changes

Removing the partition between the kitchen and living room radically transforms the perception of an apartment, bringing natural light to the back of the home and creating a more inviting living space for meals and entertaining friends.

Technical precautions to take

Depending on the building's structure, the removed partition may be load-bearing and require specific reinforcement before demolition. A prior diagnosis avoids unpleasant surprises once the work begins and ensures the safety of the entire home.

Sound insulation, a challenge specific to collective housing

Noise from neighbors remains one of the main sources of dissatisfaction in apartments, whether between floors or between adjoining units. Renovation is often an opportunity to improve this acoustic insulation, especially when replacing floors or treating separating walls.

We systematically integrate this dimension into our proposals, with solutions such as an acoustic underlay under parquet or soundproofing on the most exposed party walls.

Co-ownership regulations and grants in Wallonia

Some work affecting facades, roofs, or common areas requires the agreement of the co-owners' assembly, in addition to any municipal authorization.

The 6% VAT applies to a dwelling over ten years old used as a private residence, and Walloon grants exist for insulation or the replacement of frames.

Why choose Avenir Rénovations for your apartment

Expertise in co-ownership constraints

We understand the technical and administrative specifics of collective housing, a valuable asset to avoid blockages related to the building's own regulations.

Optimized solutions for small spaces

Bathrooms and kitchens, the most technical rooms in an apartment, are designed to maximize comfort despite sometimes limited square footage.

A single point of contact from quote to handover

A project manager coordinates the entire site, ensuring a rigorous organization that limits unforeseen events throughout the project, from the first visit to the handover of keys.

Co-ownership, living on-site, and project duration

The agreement of the co-ownership depends on the work: a purely interior renovation generally does not require approval, unlike work affecting common areas or the exterior appearance. Living in the apartment during the work is possible for a phased renovation targeting one room at a time, but temporary relocation is preferable for a complete project with redistribution of partitions. Expect several weeks to several months for a complete renovation, as redistributing partitions naturally takes more time than a finishing renovation.

Energy aids and logistics in buildings

Walloon grants cover insulation, heating, and frames, with conditions sometimes specific to the co-ownership concerned. The removal of debris in buildings is organized in advance of the project, taking into account access to the elevator and the hours permitted by the building regulations.

Anticipating resale or rental

An apartment intended for rental has a different specification than a primary residence: durable materials, easy maintenance, and layouts that appeal to the majority rather than a very personal aesthetic choice.

For resale, the focus shifts to the first impression during visits: an open and bright kitchen, a modernized bathroom, and neutral paint generally facilitate potential buyers' projection into the space.

Enhance your apartment with Avenir Rénovations

A well-renovated apartment gains daily comfort and market value, whether for resale or rental.

No section of Charleroi is beyond our area of intervention, with a technical visit that takes into account the specific constraints of your building before any quotation.

In the buildings of the Lower Town and elsewhere, the most frequent requests concern opening the kitchen to the living room and modernizing the bathroom, two transformations that radically change the perception of an apartment without necessarily requiring a disproportionate budget relative to the area concerned.

A free technical visit remains the best way to obtain a reliable estimate tailored to the actual constraints of your building. Don't wait to schedule it.
