Do I qualify for a grant or premium for moisture control?
If you are planning to renovate your home in Flanders, Mijn VerbouwPremie (or the former Flemish renovation premium) is an interesting possibility to receive financial support. This premium can be used for various renovation works, including moisture control and basement waterproofing. In this article, we offer detailed information about the terms and conditions, the application process and the amount of the premium.
What is Mijn VerbouwPremie?
Anyone renovating or converting a house in Flanders can apply for various grants and subsidies. The umbrella Mijn 'VerbouwPremie' (until 2019 it was called the Flemish renovation premium) is one of them.
Mijn VerbouwPremie is a subsidy from the Flemish government to encourage owners to renovate their homes and make energy-saving investments. Anyone investing in an existing house, apartment, apartment complex or non-residential building (such as an office building) can apply for financial support from the Flemish government. In doing so, the building must be at least 15 years old on the application date.
You can also use this premium for works of AquaConsult.
For what renovations can I apply for Mijn VerbouwPremie?
This premium is intended for investments in energy efficiency and home quality improvements. The works eligible for Mijn VerbouwPremie are thereby divided into several categories. These are investments intended for the following purposes:
When you have moisture problems want to prevent or combat, investment will focus primarily on exterior walls and interior renovation. For example, if you rising damp want to tackle or have your basement sealed, you can use Mijn VerbouwPremie from the Flemish government.
Who is eligible for Mijn VerbouwPremie?
Mijn VerbouwPremie covers a lot of categories, so the target groups for this grant are very diverse. In general, there are three audiences for this premium, and the amount of support you will receive depends on the group you belong to:

1. Owner-occupiers (3 income categories).
You can apply for Mijn VerbouwPremie for the home you use as your main residence and if you are the owner of it; in the broadest sense of the word. Owner includes full ownership, usufruct or long lease.
The amount of the subsidy, in addition to the type of work, depends on two factors.
Do you actually live together and your partner is not an owner? Then your partner's income is not taken into account. To be entitled to Mijn VerbouwPremie as an owner-occupant, you must fall into one of three income categories.
Lowest income category
As an owner-occupant, do you fall into the lowest income category? Then you qualify for all categories of works and are entitled to the highest premium. These are the conditions for the lowest income category:
Middle income category
Do you fall in the middle income category? Then you are eligible for premium in all categories of works (except gas condensing boiler), but the subsidy is less. The conditions are as follows:
Highest income category
As an owner-occupier belonging to the highest income category, you are not entitled to subsidies for all works. You are only eligible for works that are energy efficient, such as roof, wall, and floor insulation, high-efficiency glazing, heat pumps, heat pump boilers, or solar water heaters. These are the conditions:
Be sure to check out the site of the Flemish government for a list of all works that fall under this category.
2. Landlords through a social rental agency
Do you rent a house or apartment through a housing company or social rental agency? Then you always qualify for the highest premium amounts for all types of renovations. These premiums are similar to those for owner-occupants with the lowest income, except that your income does not play a role in this situation. To get these premiums, you must show a signed lease of at least 9 years with a housing company when you apply.
3. Non-owner-occupiers (or other investors).
You can apply for Mijn VerbouwPremie for a house, apartment or any other building you invest in, even if you do not own it. People who rent a property on the private market or do not live there themselves can also apply for this premium. These "other investors" can only apply for Mijn VerbouwPremie for energy-saving investments. These premiums are equal to those for people with the highest income.
How much is the premium for moisture control according to Mijn VerbouwPremie?
As outlined above, the amount of the subsidy depends on what work you are having done, whether it is an apartment or a house, and what income category you fall into.
We give you two concrete examples along: treating persistent moisture in the exterior wall in a home, or an interior renovation such as having your basement drained:
Category | Interior renovation | Exterior walls |
---|---|---|
Lowest income category owner-occupant |
|

Middle income category owner-occupant |

Mijn VerbouwLening as a support measure

However, since 2022, it has been possible for owners to apply for financial assistance in the form of "My Rebuilding Loan" to renovate their home.
