When buying a home in Switzerland, you are subject to a variety of fees and taxes which you will have to pay in addition to the purchase price itself. Please note that due to the high degree of sovereignty of the cantons in Switzerland, the fees and taxes vary greatly depending on the canton.
As a buyer, you can expect the following additional costs:
Property transfer tax (between 0 and 3,3 % of the purchase price)
Notary fees
Land registration fees (between 0.1 – 0.5 % of the purchase price)
Fees relating to the mortgage note (between 0.1 – 0.3 % of the mortgage loan)
