Real Estate in Switzerland | VON POLL REAL ESTATE

VON POLL REAL ESTATE offers a wide range of properties—from single-family homes and condominiums to land, multi-family homes, and investment properties. Create a personalized search profile with your criteria (location, property type, size, number of rooms, and budget), and you’ll be automatically notified as soon as a suitable property becomes available. The independent, on-site real estate professionals know the local market and will advise you personally.

The path to owning your own home can start in different ways— through a personalized search profile with automatic notifications, through our online listings and bulletin board postings, or completely on the spur of the moment when a suitable property catches your eye. Once you’ve found an interesting property, you’ll schedule a viewing and review the documents (including the land registry extract, energy performance certificate, and—for apartments—the declaration of division and meeting minutes). After negotiating the purchase price, the purchase agreement is notarized; ownership is transferred to you upon registration in the land registry.

Whether it’s a house or a condominium—when viewing the property, you should take a systematic approach and pay attention to the following points:

- Year built, structural integrity, and overall condition of the property

- Condition of the roof, exterior walls, windows, heating system, and electrical system

- Moisture, mold, and soundproofing

- Floor plan, room layout, and actual living space

- For condos, additionally: declaration of division, common area fees, maintenance reserve fund, and minutes of the owners’ meetings

- For single-family homes, additionally: lot, yard, basement, and outbuildings

- Energy efficiency and energy performance certificate

- Location, infrastructure, and access to public transportation, shopping, schools, and daycare centers

Whether buying or renting is the better choice depends on your life situation: How long do you plan to stay in one place, how much equity do you have available, and how are local rental and home prices trending? Buying builds long-term wealth and independence, but requires equity and ties you to a specific location; renting offers more flexibility.

The value of a property depends primarily on its location, size, condition, year of construction, and amenities. A thorough appraisal is the foundation for a realistic purchase or sale price. VON POLL REAL ESTATE offers you a free, no-obligation property appraisal by local professionals who know the local market inside and out. This gives you a reliable estimate—whether you’re buying, selling, or simply looking to get a sense of the market.
