Is Buying Residential Real Estate in Switzerland a good Investment? Since 2009, I've had the privilege of helping clients navigate the Swiss real estate market, each drawn by Switzerland’s unique appeal: outstanding year-round outdoor activities, a central location in Europe, and a stable, tax-friendly environment. Yet, when it comes down to the details, the question often arises: Will this be a good investment? Looking back, which is always easy, I can only share; In 2009, 1 Euro was equivalent to 1.51 CHF; today, it’s about 0.93 CHF. This represents a 38% appreciation 📈 of the 🇨🇭 Swiss Franc — and that’s just the currency aspect. Regarding property, in the Swiss Alps, the introduction of the Lex Weber law in 2013, which limits second-home construction to 20% of a community’s housing stock, created even more scarcity. As a result, prices in high-altitude ski resorts have seen increases exceeding 50% since 2009. So, was it a good investment? I’d say yes.  Will it continue to be in the future? Time will tell. But one thing remains certain: Switzerland’s political and financial stability make it an attractive option for clients looking to diversify their global portfolios. 👉 Want to know more?

What’s typically Swiss? Let me tell you about Rega. People often ask me, "What would you describe as typically Swiss that stands out when you live here?" The first thing that comes to mind is Rega. For tourists, it's most recognisable as the red rescue helicopters in the mountains, but they do much more! Rega is a Swiss non-profit air rescue service that provides emergency medical assistance by helicopter and air ambulance. They operate throughout Switzerland, particularly in remote areas, and offer international 🌍medical repatriation for Swiss citizens abroad. Funded through donations and memberships, Rega has an impressive 3.7M+ members! Yesterday, we visited the Rega headquarters at Zurich International Airport with our Swiss German language group. They also showed us their 3 ambulance jets 🛩️ and 2 of their 20 rescue helicopters. 🚁 If you'd like to learn more about this amazing Swiss organisation, check them out: https://www.rega.ch/en/ #TypicalSwiss #Rega #Amazingswisscompanies Schweizerische Rettungsflugwacht Rega

Struggling to find a new house 🏠 as an expat in your new country? June to August are typically the months when newcomers in their host countries are searching for a new home. This process can be very frustrating, especially in major global cities. The reality is that in most popular cities, an apartment or house will be posted online and within 24 hours, the real estate agent receives 100+ inquiries. They only allow around 30 parties for viewings. Some viewers are accompanied by professional relocators. Of these, 15 proposals are put forward, often with bids above the asking price. One winner 🏆 , 14 losers 😚 .. and the process begins again. Sound familiar? This is where the added value of a relocation company comes in. They know the market, have the right connections with real estate agents, and often contact them before the property is listed. When the agent has a lease termination and we reach out at the right moment, it saves the agent and owner the time and effort of listing the property and organising all the viewings. They know us, and we have a track record of bringing reliable clients. During viewings, we know how to impress, how the application process works and ensure our clients make it to the shortlist. While the agent is the gatekeeper, the owner ultimately decides who will be the next renter. Switzerland 🇨🇭 has a particularly tight housing market. Engaging a relocation company can significantly increase your chances of finding the right property, reducing the stress of this life-changing experience, so you can enjoy your relocation journey and settle in smoothly.
