About HERITUM

What is HERITUM?

HERITUM is a Belgian provider of premium property management. We manage houses, apartments, estates and property portfolios for owners who want to know their property is in good hands. HERITUM is the specialised property division of The Lifestyle Manager, a private concierge service active in Belgium since 2012.

  • families with a large home and household staff
  • owners of several properties

Which regions does HERITUM cover?

All of Belgium: Flanders, Brussels, Wallonia, the coast and the province of Luxembourg.

Services

What does property management by HERITUM include?

We take care of every aspect of managing your home:

  • regular inspections with detailed reporting
  • key holding and coordinated access for suppliers and guests
  • maintenance and repairs, from quote to completion
  • renovation management from start to finish

How can I follow what is happening at my property?

Through your personal online dashboard, available in real time from anywhere in the world. It shows which tasks are scheduled and completed, the calendar of inspections, maintenance and works, and every cost. You always know what is happening, when and at what price, without having to ask.

Can you look after my home while I’m abroad?

Yes, that is exactly why many owners come to us. We check your property regularly and step in whenever needed. Your online dashboard lets you follow tasks, calendar and costs in real time, wherever you are. To talk things through, you can reach us by phone, email, WhatsApp or video call.

Can you help us find household staff?

Yes. We recruit and screen housekeepers, gardeners, caretakers, chauffeurs and nannies based on references, experience and personality. We then train your staff on site, in your home, so they know your house, your routines and the standard you expect from day one.

Do you also oversee renovations and building work?

Yes, from the first quote to final completion. We:

  • request several quotes
  • select tradespeople from our vetted network
  • monitor the site with regular inspections
  • keep the budget under control until the final invoice

Will tradespeople cost me more through HERITUM?

No, quite the opposite. We compare quotes on price, quality and references, and negotiate on your behalf with every supplier, so you get the best price for the best work.

Do you offer rental management?

No. HERITUM does not manage holiday lets or long-term rentals. We look after properties that owners use themselves or keep in reserve, such as a main residence, a second home or an estate.

Are you a building manager (syndic)?

No. A syndic manages the common areas of an apartment building. HERITUM works directly for you as the owner and looks after your private property.

Pricing and approach

How much does property management by HERITUM cost?

HERITUM charges an hourly rate of €95 excl. VAT. You only pay for the time we actually spend on your property. There is no subscription and there are no hidden costs. Every task and every cost appears in your online dashboard.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. There is no subscription, no minimum term and no notice period. You can stop at any time. Since 2012 we have only worked with satisfied clients, and we intend to keep it that way. Trust is not something you sign: we earn it every day.

How does working together start?

  1. You get in touch and tell us about your property.
  2. We carry out a thorough assessment of your property and agree on priorities together.
  3. We draw up a clear action plan and follow up on every task.
  4. You follow tasks, calendar and costs in real time through your online dashboard.

What happens in an emergency, such as a leak or a break-in?

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In an emergency we act quickly with professionals from our network, and you can follow the response in your online dashboard.

How do you protect my privacy?

Discretion is the reason clients choose us. We work for well-known families and people with a public life, and everything we see and hear stays within your walls. We never take photos for our own use, never share names or addresses, and process your data in line with the GDPR.
