Nivelles pitfall to avoid

Noise from the R0 Ring and E19.

Several new residences are being built less than 800 m from the motorways. Demand an Lden acoustic measurement before signing and check double/triple glazing on the exposed façade. EPC does not guarantee acoustic insulation: it is a separate contractual item to demand in the specifications.
