Swiss B-Permit

If you are living or working in Switzerland and have a B Permit you have a unique opportunity to buy a chalet or apartment which would not normally be authorised for sale to foreigners.

The properties below are available only to Swiss passport holders or other nationals who hold a Swiss B or C permit. If you do not have a B permit it is easy to obtain one (particularly if you are an EU citizen, or are over the age of 50). We are able to assist clients with their B permit application as part of the purchase procdure.

To find out more about how to make the most of your B permit by buying a holiday home or ski investment property please contact:

Last year the Canton of Valais blocked all sales to foreigners in the Verbier ski area. This year there will be less than 100 permits for the whole region so you have a considerable advantage if you have a Swiss B permit.

You could buy a modern style chalet in the fabulous Matterhorn Village development or a more traditional style chalet at the foot of the ski pistes in Les Collons, an apartment almost next to the new lift in Veysonnaz, or a huge chalet ready for immediate occupation in Mayens de Riddes.

New regulations published by the Canton of Valais in May 2008 mean the developer can now sell 60% of these apartments to foreign buyers on a first come first served basis.

This would be perfect as a rental investment or weekend ski home as it has very easy access from Geneva and is part of the huge Verbier ski area. The chalet is in a prime position, just 150m from the new telecabine and the bottom of the ski piste. The chalet will have a spa with jacuzzi, sauna, a games room with pool table and a wine tasting room. Each apartment has a private wine cellar and you can enjoy a glass while your children soak in the hot tub!

The developer has received the building permit and construction is scheduled to start autumn 2008, for delivery December 2009.

In our opionin Zermatt is the best resort in Europe and, as you would expect, property prices are high and it is not easy for foreigners to buy there. If you have a B permit then you are permitted to buy an apartment in Zermatt as a rental investment. So if you are residing in Geneva or Zurich you can buy in Zermatt but you are obliged to rent your property out. To buy a property in Zermatt as a second residence or holiday home you must have your place of residence as Zermatt and pay your Swiss taxes there.
