How to invest in real estate in Switzerland as a foreigner?

Switzerland, with its high quality of life, stability, and good security, as well as its favorable tax system, attracts many foreigners wishing to purchase real estate.

However, the acquisition of residential properties by foreigners in Switzerland is strictly regulated by the Federal Law on the Acquisition of Real Estate by Persons Abroad (LFAIE), commonly known as "Lex Koller" or "Lex Friedrich." This law aims to limit the purchase of housing by foreigners to prevent speculation and protect the real estate market for local residents.

Additionally, the "Lex Weber" law aims to regulate the construction of secondary residences in tourist areas, thus reducing real estate pressure and preserving the natural environment and quality of life in these regions.

This legislation can seem daunting at first, but by choosing to be accompanied by our experts, you benefit from unparalleled expertise and personalized support.
