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.

The ultimate guide to selling your appartment in Switzerland
Do you have plans to sell your previously occupied or rented condominium? Current market developments can make the decision quite easy for you. However, many questions remain unanswered:
What costs are incurred when selling property?
Selling a house or an apartment involves costs—even if you sell the property without the support of a real estate agent. This is because certain expenses, such as notary fees or the real estate transfer tax, must always be taken into account. However, there is no nationwide regulation in Switzerland: the amount of fees and taxes varies greatly from canton to canton. You can find out which costs are incurred when selling a home and how high they are below.

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.
Selling your property on your own: the important stuff
Why do people decide to sell their property privately? For most people, the cost factor is quite obviously the issue - if there is no broker's commission, then the profit is theoretically higher. However, since selling real estate is not something you do very often in your life, vendors definitely need to plan well. It’s important to have a solid sales strategy and also to avoid certain pitfalls resulting in subsequent costs or even cancellations.
Calculating living space correctly
Anyone looking to sell their house or apartment is obliged to specify the exact area of the living space in the advertisement. But which areas actually count as living space, and how do you calculate that area accurately? Our property experts have put the most important information together for you here.
