What is the process of buying an off-plan Swiss property?
You will put your money in first and then the bank will make the remaining stage payments as the construction proceeds. Each developer has a different payment structure but typically it would be a deposit of around 30,000 sfrs to reserve a property off plan, 10% when the notary’s deed of sale is signed and then stage payments when the foundations and roof are started. Final payment when the keys are handed over. If you take bank finance then you pay the first 30% and then the bank pays the remaining stage payments.
