Intelligent solutions for buying, selling and property assessment

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:

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.

Your own four walls at last! Would you like to buy an apartment or have you already bought your own apartment? We explain the principles of condominium ownership and show you what you should pay particular attention to as a buyer or owner.

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.

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.

Our guide to the bidding process when selling 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.

The income value is used to value real estate based on its expected long-term return. Learn how the calculation works, which factors are decisive, and where the limitations of this method lie.

Your property is among your greatest assets, whether it be an apartment or a house. It is correspondingly important to avoid mistakes when selling it and to prepare yourself as thoroughly as possible.
