Andermatt Swiss Alps is the only project in the Swiss Alps to be exempted from Lex Koller regulations until 2040, meaning that foreign owners are able to purchase real estate and turn this unique village into a home. As a result, the town with its new and purpose-built residences attracts a global community, all drawn by the benefits of investing in property with a strong rental yield and a proven track record of consistent growth in capital value.

All apartments for sale by Andermatt Swiss Alps are not affected by the law on second homes, a Swiss law that restricts building permits for new second homes. Andermatt is the only Swiss Alpine destination that can offer high-quality new and purpose-built residences, elevated for a global sensibility in the Swiss tradition of quality craftsmanship.

The canton of Uri’s top income tax rate is amongst the lower ones in Switzerland and nearly one-half of the tax rates in Italy, Germany, France and the UK. This positions Andermatt as a destination with favorable tax rates.

Applying for a mortgage in Switzerland is quick and easy, with Switzerland’s leading banks typically willing to lend a material portion of the purchase price. Andermatt Swiss Alps’ Sales team has extensive experience supporting international clients with the mortgage application process.

When relocating their main domicile to the canton of Uri, foreign nationals can gain Swiss residency under the lump-sum taxation scheme. It’s an advantageous taxation regime for wealthy and financially sound individuals as it means that they do not have to fill in tax declarations on their global income and assets.

The cost of purchasing real estate in Switzerland is lower than in most of Europe, with costs ranging between 0.25% and 3.55% of the total purchase price. The land registry and notary fees, which are paid by the buyer proportionately at time of notarisation, amount to 0.3% of the total purchase price for the buyer (including FF&E and OS&E as well as parking rights).

All Andermatt Swiss Alps private properties, along with the common parts of Andermatt Reuss, such as car parks and wider infrastructure, are managed by our in-house Owner Service Team, meaning that homes and investments are well cared for at all times. This gives owners peace of mind while they are away for longer periods of time.

Andermatt Swiss Alps offers a rental program on all properties in Andermatt Reuss, enabling owners to generate rental income when their property is not in private use.
