Real estate loans: New historic drop for the "20-year fixed rate"!

This is certainly an exceptional case, but a well-known Belgian bank recently awarded a loan rate of 0.70 % to one of its clients.

The penthouse, an original concept

It was in the 1920s, also called "the Roaring Twenties," that the concept of a penthouse first appeared in the cityscape. Penthouses, apartments occupying the area of the top floor of a building, were very popular in New York until the time of the 1929 stock market crash. Afterwards, penthouses became scarcer again, especially during World War II. In the 1950s, people put up towering buildings again, and at the same time luxury penthouses reappeared. To this day, these luxury apartments are in high demand, especially in the centers of major cities.

Durbuy, a charming city to discover

Durbuy is a historic town in eastern Belgium, in the Ardennes region. Although it has fewer than 500 inhabitants, Durbuy nevertheless has city status. Indeed, it's actually the "smallest city in the world", and was first granted this status by a city charter which it received during the Middle Ages. The document remains in force to this day, and Durbuy is still a charming city to discover with Engel & Völkers.
