Buying a property in Switzerland makes for a safe investment, as prices tend to remain relatively stable, even during challenging economic periods.

The Swiss Franc remains one of the strongest currencies in the world (regularly ranked in the top 20) and the popularity of Swiss ski resorts means that there is always a market for properties located nearby.

Tight planning laws and the Lex Weber referendum have resulted in a real scarcity of second homes on the market in Switzerland. This tight supply is expected to support property prices going forward as Switzerland remains a global ‘safe-haven’ for property investors.
