Prestige property mortgage
Buying a prestigious property in Switzerland represents a considerable investment. However, it is sometimes necessary to mortgage such a property to finance other projects or optimize asset management. Prestaflex Fribourg is with you every step of the way to ensure a solution tailored to your situation.
What is a mortgage on a prestige property?
A mortgage is a real security registered in the land register, enabling you to obtain financing by pledging a property. In the case of prestige properties, this often concerns exceptional properties such as villas, chalets or luxury apartments in sought-after areas (Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, Gstaad, Zermatt, etc.).
Features of a luxury mortgage in Switzerland
1. Amount of financing
Banks and financial institutions like Prestaflex assess the amount of the mortgage on the basis of the property's market value. For a prestige property, the financing ratio (also known as "loan-to-value" or LTV) is generally between 50% and 70% of the appraised value.
2. Eligibility criteria
Banks take several criteria into account:
- Income and repayment capacity
- Property value and location
- Applicant's financial history
- Existence of other assets as collateral
3. Term and interest rate
Mortgages in Switzerland can range from 5 to 30 years, with fixed, variable or SARON rates. Interest rates for prestige properties can be negotiated according to the borrower's profile and the quality of the collateral.
4. Taxation and deductions
In Switzerland, mortgage interest is tax-deductible, which can be a strategic advantage in optimizing the taxation of real estate assets.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I mortgage a prestigious property if I'm a foreign resident?
Yes, but under certain conditions. The LFAIE (Federal Law on the Acquisition of Real Estate by Persons Abroad) imposes restrictions, particularly on acquisitions by non-residents. However, for a mortgage on a property you already own, there are suitable solutions.
2. What are the advantages of using a mortgage to finance other projects?
A mortgage allows you to free up liquidity without selling your property. This means you can finance a new property investment, a business project or asset diversification.
3. What are the risks of mortgaging a luxury property?
The main risk is non-repayment of the loan, which could lead to seizure of the property. That's why a thorough study of your ability to repay is essential.
