Switzerland property investments
Owning a property in Switzerland is a privilege reserved for a select few who appreciate the finer things in life. Real estate in Switzerland offers a high level of security, stability, and prestige, as well as access to some of the most beautiful and exclusive locations in the world.

Switzerland's political and economic stability, combined with its strong banking system and low inflation rate, make it an attractive destination for foreign investors.
The Lex Koller ruling was introduced in 1983 and restricts the number of foreigners purchasing property in Switzerland. There are only 1,500 permits issued per year to foreigners. Foreigners are also restricted as to where they can purchase as well as the size of property.
Benefits of buying property in Switzerland
Economic stability
Officially the world's most stable economy, with a strong banking sector, low unemployment and high standard of living.
Currency strength
The CHF currency has strengthened dramatically over the years against the USD, therefore asset prices have appreciated in real terms.
Rarity
Based on Lex Koller regulation, there is a limited supply of property to foreigners and also second homes. Limited supply bodes well for price appreciation.
Strong banking system
Switzerland enjoys one of the best banking systems in the world, with low interest rates.
Low mortgage rates
Foreigners can mortgage up to 60% of their property purchase at attractively low interest rates.
Bespoke home buying service
Due to the very limited supply of property available to foreigners and therefore the rarity of securing property options, Sable International has available on occasion exclusive access to new property releases.
