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.

Real estate gains tax

This tax is determined from the difference between a property’s purchase price and its sale price. Has the property currently being sold increased in value over time? If so, the real estate gains tax goes up correspondingly. However, the vendor may be able to claim investments or expenses here in order to reduce the tax burden.
