Lex Koller – A strict reputation with few constraints

Anyone wishing to acquire property in Switzerland as a foreign national will sooner or later come across the Lex Koller – the federal law governing the acquisition of real estate by persons abroad. This law aims to protect Swiss land and prevent a sell-off to foreign investors.

What is the real value of a property?

How much is a property really worth when there are no comparable properties available? This is exactly where the real value method comes in: it determines the value not based on market prices or income, but on the actual costs of land and construction. Especially for unusual properties, it becomes a valuable basis for a well-founded valuation.
