Buying Property in Switzerland, Germany, Austria & France

Buying Property in Switzerland, Germany, Austria & France
10 min read

“Buy property in Europe” is incomplete. Which country, which foreign-buyer rules, which goal? ArenOne models the asset first; residency only when the law truly connects them.

Separate three goals

Capital preservation, rental income, and family residency are different products. Mixing them causes regret purchases.

Switzerland — high quality, hard entry

Non-resident purchases are often restricted by federal/cantonal rules. Always verify eligibility with local counsel before any deposit.

Germany & Austria — rental logic

Deep rental markets with conservative net yields; add transfer taxes and notary costs to the asking price from day one.

France — notaire clarity, no property golden visa

Strong conveyance via notaire. Ownership alone does not equal residency — it may support a separate visa file.

Share budget and goal — ArenOne will map the right country and deal structure before any viewing.
