Luxury Real Estate in Switzerland – by Engel & Völkers

A rustic chalet in the Alps, a stately villa on Lake Zurich, or a stylish penthouse in one of the most sought-after locations in Zurich, Geneva, or Zug—the Swiss luxury real estate market is as exclusive as it is diverse. Luxury properties in Switzerland are defined by far more than just generous living space, numerous rooms, or a high purchase price. Rather, it is the keen attention to detail, first-class craftsmanship, architectural sophistication, and the use of the highest-quality materials that define the unique character of such a property.

Property ownership can result in a variety of taxes. These are generally determined by the location of the property – namely, in the canton where the property is located. This means that one person owning property in various cantons may be liable to pay taxes to different cantons. In such cases, different cantonal taxation systems come into effect, with the result that the taxation of property can easily become a rather complicated issue.
