Rental market in Anderlecht
Rental market in Anderlecht
Rental market in Anderlecht: 52% rental rate, 4.2% vacancy, tenant profiles and 2026 trends.
An accessible but heterogeneous market
Anderlecht has a rental rate of 52% and a vacancy of 4.2%, indicating a more relaxed market than the Brussels average. The dominant profiles are modest-income families and commuters working in the centre or outskirts, attracted by rents 20 to 30% lower than in Ixelles or Saint-Gilles.
The commune splits into two realities: metro-adjacent areas (Clemenceau, Bizet) see sustained demand with reletting times of 20 to 25 days, while more distant zones (Neerpede, Scheut) show vacancy exceeding 6%. Landlords must therefore pay close attention to property location before any investment, transport proximity being the number one criterion for Anderlecht tenants.
Outlook and recommendations
Anderlecht benefits from the abattoir site redevelopment and the expansion of the cycling network, which should attract new profiles (young professionals, remote workers) in the medium term. Average gross yield remains among the highest in Brussels (approximately 5 to 5.5%) thanks to contained purchase prices.
The main risk is the energy degradation of the stock: with a median EPB of E and 48% of properties in E-F-G, nearly half the stock faces indexation restrictions. Landlords should prioritise insulation works before 2033 (Brussels minimum EPB C deadline) to secure both indexation and the property’s wealth value.
