Buy the house of your dreams with a renovation project for it
When you are thinking of buying a property to renovate, the stakes are high and the budget is often tight.
Buying and renovating a property combines an emotional element as well as rigour. Being able to acquire the property as well as to control its renovation project at the same time represents huge savings in terms of time, money, energy, and stress.
In the space of just a few weeks, ALIX will take the following steps:
- a visit to the building to be purchased;
- an appointment with the ALIX team in one of our reference houses;
- a precise, detailed design brief, with no compromises on aesthetics, budget or technical efficiency.
Our proposals are a synthesis of each team member's experiences. We preselect the architectural, interior design, thereby relieving you of any unnecessary mental burden and creating a project that reflects your image.
ALIX Real Estate Services' goal: more peace of mind throughout the renovation process.
a completed (extensive) renovation project

Estimate of potential grants.
We met with the ALIX Team prior to buying our house. ALIX had developed a project design that met our needs and came within our budget. We adapted the plans slightly and soon after filed the application. We were able to rely on their expertise throughout the build that took place right in the middle of the COVID pandemic, their advice, tips & tricks were invaluable in harmonising costs and aesthetics. The project was completed on schedule, within budget and with 5* quality. The entire major renovation process completed, without any unnecessary stress: we are delighted...and would 100% recommend.
With our architect, we received several quotes. The bid submitted by ALIX was the best and gave us the most confidence in the delivery. We were able to visit several other sites as a reference. The building work is under way and progressing as expected, in a constructive and solution-focused manner. We were appreciative of the comprehensive nature of the price agreed.
The ALIX team was really open during the submission phase. We really valued their responsiveness and professionalism. We also felt that ALIX had the ability to comprehensively manage the project, which represented a huge time saving, as well as a real desire to update the property with a long-term outlook and environmental mindset… without blowing the budget.
We live in a 1970s house. Ahead of our renovation project, ALIX shared their vision after listening to our wants and needs. ALIX provided details of the right contractor for the job as well stylish and affordable technical solutions.
We were looking to sell our old family home. The location, garden and aspect were ideal but the house needed much more than a lick of paint to bring it up to current standards. To help potential purchasers to imagine themselves in the property, we asked ALIX to design a complete renovation project. A small investment for our family meant a significant gain for us in the end.
Attentive and sound advice. Exceptional speed and efficiency. Clear and precise from a financial perspective.
Within the ALIX team, you feel that interior architecture, the flow of movement and finishing touches are their “passions”. The team sets the bar high in terms of quality of finish. On site, ALIX ensures a positive and constructive atmosphere, fostering respect between all parties.
Our project is the complete transformation of a building with over 500 m2 of accommodation; we are aiming for a B rated PEB [energy performance] (Brussels). We already knew a few members of the team from previous collaborations. They have been very responsive to discussions during the submission phase, offering some good alternatives.
What drives us?
Bringing new life without compromising on aesthetics, efficiency, and price… and without unnecessary stress on the construction site!
