While on the subject of Switzerland (see previous post), if you would like help developing property in Switzerland please do get in touch. Projects and building land can be bought surprisingly cheaply, Swiss finance rates can be very low, tax breaks are available (e.g. no inheritance tax in some cantons) and foreign ownership is possible. Zollikon would be delighted to help with your project whether you are interested in a private holiday home or perhaps a rental investment.
On my last “busman’s holiday” I paid particular attention to converted historic agricultural buildings in the tourist heartland of the Interlaken / Lucerne region. There are many such buildings in the most jaw-droppingly beautiful scenery with healthy year-round potential – from skiing in the winter to summer hikes and cycling amidst meadows of wild alpine flowers. Whilst largely retaining picture-postcard rustic beauty externally, some of the re-worked barns are modern masterpieces internally, demonstrating world-class Swiss expertise in timber, concrete and fit-out.
To whet your appetite, some links to examples of buildings, building land and rental examples:
