The problem in 2026

Why Excel is no longer enough

Excel served you well for a while — but the 2024-2026 reforms and automation have changed the game.

01

No regional compliance

Your Excel lease templates do not update themselves with the 2024-2026 reforms. Brussels, Wallonia, Flanders — each region has its own rules that Excel knows nothing about.

02

No late payment alerts

A tenant 15 days late? You only find out when you open your spreadsheet. No automatic reminders, no structured history, just your memory.

03

Risk of data loss

A corrupted file, a wrong manipulation, a hard drive failure — and 3 years of history vanish. No versioning, no automatic cloud backup.

04

No electronic signature

Print, sign, scan, send — Excel cannot do any of that. You lose 45 minutes per lease and your tenants find it outdated in 2026.

05

Manual indexation calculations

Every March, you look up the health index from SPF Economy, apply the formula by hand, write the demand letter. Errors are frequent, correction costs are high.

Client testimonial

A concrete migration, in numbers

The experience of a landlord who switched from Excel to BailBelgique — with before / after numbers.

For 6 years, I had an Excel spreadsheet with 4 tabs for my 3 properties. Every March, I spent an entire Saturday indexing rents and writing letters. I migrated in 20 minutes. Today, the system does it all and sends me a notification when the tenant receives the letter.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about migrating from Excel

Can I import my Excel file directly?
Yes, BailBelgique offers an import wizard that detects common columns (property, tenant, rent, move-in date, cadastral income, etc.). For complex cases, our support team assists free of charge during your first migration.
What happens to my existing leases created in Excel?
Nothing changes — they remain legally valid since they are signed contracts, not a proprietary format. Migration simply means transferring metadata for future tracking (indexation, payments, deadlines).
Can I keep using Excel alongside BailBelgique for a few months?
Absolutely. You can export to CSV/Excel at any time from BailBelgique. Many landlords keep their spreadsheet as a backup for the first 3 months — not necessary, but reassuring.
How long until I am fully up and running?
For 1 to 5 properties: 15 to 30 minutes of migration plus 1 week to get comfortable with the automations. For 10+ properties, allow 1 hour for migration and our team offers a free onboarding call.
