Switzerland is ‘safe as houses’

Switzerland is an extremely safe country for investors, it has been claimed…

Steve Thomas, Managing Director of Alpine Property Investments, explained: “Switzerland has a very stable housing market, which is attractive to potential investors.

“Swiss real estate is also appreciating steadily without the major peaks and troughs seen in other Alpine resorts, so is unlikely to experience a sudden crash."

Extra incentives

Mr Thomas continued: “Anyone letting out their purchase will find an extra incentive in the country, as there is no tax paid in Switzerland on rental income from a property owned by a non-Swiss, non-resident person”.

Mr Thomas concluded: “Brits travelling to Switzerland will find that it is easily accessible, with a huge array of regional and international airports in the country”.

Recent figures released by the Swiss Federal Statistics Office show that the country is becoming increasingly popular with tourists.
