Possible difficulties

Buying real estate in Switzerland, despite its attractiveness and prospects, can include a number of potential problems that should be considered before carrying out the transaction.

Legal complications:

• Differences in the interpretation of legal norms. Switzerland has a decentralized legal system, and therefore the interpretation of legal norms may differ depending on the canton or municipality. This can lead to differences in the interpretation of contract terms and property rights.
• Deficiencies in ownership documentation. Buying real estate in Switzerland requires a detailed analysis of legal documentation. Improperly prepared or incomplete documentation can lead to legal problems in the future.

Financial risks:

• Increase in value due to taxes and other costs. Switzerland is known for its high tax system and other additional costs such as building maintenance, utilities, etc. This can lead to an increase in the overall cost of maintaining the property.
• Unforeseen financial burdens on the object. Real estate may have hidden financial encumbrances, such as debts owed to banks or other creditors. These encumbrances can become a problem for a new owner.

Technical problems:

• The presence of hidden defects in the building or premises. A property inspection should be carried out before buying a property, as there may be hidden defects in the building or systems that could lead to additional repair and maintenance costs.
