Acquisition costs concerns the purchase of a newly built dwelling, self-built dwelling and a former rental dwelling. Costs of possession a dwelling concerns costs of (large) maintenance and property insurance.

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are one period provisional; the sub-series ‘Acquisition formally rented dwelling’ and ‘Structural costs: insurance’ are final directly.

Changes as of October 6th 2022:
This statistic is calculated using a European harmonized method. The method for rounding figures has changed within the European guidelines. This method change has been implemented with the result that some figures have been adjusted by a maximum of 0.1 index point or 0.1% development. The figures therefore correspond to the figures on the eurostat website.

Changes as of January 9th 2024:
Figures of the 3rd quarter of the year 2023 have been added and the figures of the 2nd quarter 2023 are final.

When will new figures be published?
New figures are published in April 2024.

From reporting period 2023 quarter 4, the base year will be adjusted from 2015 to 2020. In April 2024, the first figures of this new series will be released. These figures will be available in a new StatLine table. The old series (base year = 2015) can still be consulted via StatLine, but will no longer be updated.
