Flanders has new regulations related to public real estate transactions
On 1 June 2024, a new Flemish decree dated 8 March 2024, came into effect that provides for how real estate assets are disposed of and rights in rem are established and disposed of. The purpose of this decree is to create a sustainable, consistent and effective legal framework within which entities of the Flemish government can dispose of real estate assets, as well as establish and dispose of rights in rem. The main consequence of this decree is that from now on all Flemish public authorities and entities must comply with well-defined publicity obligations in connection with their public real estate transactions, whereas previously this was only the case for a more limited circle of authorities.
