Investing in French-speaking Switzerland

Investing in real estate in French-speaking Switzerland today requires access to off-portal opportunities and a precise reading of net yield. Our process structures that access.

Why EMOH

Invest one step ahead

Before everyone else

Income-producing buildings, plots and off-market opportunities are presented to you before public publication.

Real net yield

For each property, gross and net calculated (costs, vacancy, maintenance, property tax). No embellished figures.

Tailored structuring

Optimal financing, introduction to a fiduciary if a real-estate holding is considered, rental follow-up if desired.

How it works

The journey in 5 steps

  1. Strategic framing

    Objective: rental yield, long-term capital gain, or a mix? Tax profile, borrowing capacity, investment horizon. We frame the strategy before looking for properties.

  2. Priority investor alert

    You join our list of priority investors: income-producing buildings, building plots and off-market opportunities are presented to you before public publication.

  3. Yield and risk analysis

    For each property: gross and net yield (costs, vacancy, maintenance, property tax), technical condition, quality of the tenants in place, revaluation potential. Structured spreadsheet provided.

  4. Negotiation and structuring

    Price negotiation with yield arguments (comparable market rate, upcoming works, vacancy). Financing structuring (optimal LTV, duration). Introduction to a fiduciary if a real-estate holding is considered.

  5. Acquisition and follow-up

    Signing, taking possession, transfer of the leases. If desired, set-up of rental management (tenant search, inventory reports, technical follow-up).

Frequently asked questions

What investors ask us

All the questions
Does EMOH handle off-market properties?

Yes, part of our portfolio is never published on public portals. To access it, sign up for our off-market alerts via the Contact page, specifying your budget and criteria.

What is the difference between gross yield and net yield?

Gross yield = (annual rents / purchase price) × 100. Net yield deducts costs (running costs, maintenance, vacancy, property tax, management). In French-speaking Switzerland, a good net yield on a buy-to-let investment sits between 3% and 4.5%.

Does EMOH offer a rental service?

Yes, we manage long-term rentals (tenant search, inventory reports, follow-up). We do not handle seasonal tourist rentals.

Do you work with developers and architects?

Yes. We have an active network of developers, architects, builders, fiduciaries, notaries and banks in French-speaking Switzerland. For a development project (plot, income-producing building, off-plan project), we connect you with the right partners.
