Real estate law
Reius is a law firm specialising in real estate law, offering in-depth expertise and services in Dutch, French and English.
EXPERTISE
Purchase & Sale
Real estate transactions are legally and financially complex. Belgian regulations, tax structuring and contractual risks require a lawyer who oversees the entire picture — from the initial bid to the notarial deed.
More info(Commercial) Lease Law
Lease law in Belgium is a heavily regulated area of law. From residential leases to commercial leases — a poorly drafted contract or a mishandled dispute can seriously harm your interests.
More infoConstruction & Contracting
In Belgium, the liability of construction professionals is strictly regulated — from provisional acceptance through to ten-year liability. Reius safeguards your position.
More infoUrban Planning and Environment
From environmental permit to delivery — Reius safeguards the legal consistency of the entire process.
More infoCo-ownership
Co-ownership — apartment law, forced co-ownership and the functioning of the Association of Co-owners (ACO) — is a complex and constantly evolving area of law. Reius provides clear solutions.
More infoReal rights
Real rights determine what you may do with your property — and what others may do on or with your land. Reius masters this area of law and makes its complexity manageable.
More infoWHY REIUS
The name Reius is no coincidence. In re — the facts, the property, your real estate. In iure — the law that safeguards your interests. That is what Reius stands for: thorough in the facts, considered in the law.

TESTIMONIALS
Recently, I had to call on a lawyer and, through a friend, I ended up at Reius. Fortunately, I had never had to consult a lawyer in my life before. In this matter, what I mainly wanted was to have my worries taken off my hands. To achieve that, the first condition is being able to place your trust in someone. Vianto Paschko, my legal counsel at Reius, clearly proved worthy of that trust. Communication was excellent, and the advice given was expert and reflected a great deal of experience. Hopefully I will never have to call on a lawyer again, but should the need arise, I certainly would not hesitate to turn to this firm again, particularly for matters relating to property law or insurance issues.

Davy De Coster
We engaged Reius Advocaten in a dispute with our landlord and look back on the experience with great satisfaction. Their approach was professional and methodical from start to finish: clear in analysis, structured in its steps and always well substantiated. What stood out to us most is that our wishes were truly central. They listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve and then thought along creatively about the ways to get there. Even when a particular route proved difficult, an alternative was always on the table. Communication was clear and we always knew where we stood. Highly recommended for anyone facing a rental dispute who is looking for a lawyer who is both sharp and solution-oriented.
