“Ready to live in” is a marketing expression to clarify in each contract.

1. Variable definition

Depending on the developer: finishes only or full equipment. See move-in-ready house.

2. Frequent pitfalls

Kitchen not included, dressing room as an option. See turnkey house.

3. Local market

See new-build house Liège.

Ready to live in = equipped?
Not always. The term is used loosely by developers. Ask for the exhaustive list included in the contract.
Kitchen provided?
Depending on the developer. Sometimes basic kitchen, sometimes complete equipment, sometimes nothing. To be clarified before signing.
