Austria, Switzerland, France and Norway: 191 properties across 67 resorts. Each country has its own rules for foreign buyers, which is usually the first thing to settle.
Yes. Tell us which properties you'd like to see and when you'll be in the Alps, and we'll set up the viewings with the local agent or developer.
We aim to reply within one working day. What happens next depends on the property and the region. For many properties we'll send you the brochure first, then introduce you to the local agent. For new developments we usually put you straight in touch with the agent, who can talk you through the details. And if you'd like a wider view on where to buy, we're always happy to talk it through.
