Inheritance law in Switzerland: What is there to consider to when inheriting property?
With the help of the Swiss Civil Code, inheritance law in Switzerland governs succession, provided that the deceased has not left a will. The so-called parentelic system of succession determines which heirs are the main heirs to the inheritance and how large their share of the estate is. Especially with large hereditary communities, it is advisable to write a will in time. If property such as a house, land or an owner-occupied flat is in the estate, a will prevents disputes among the heirs. In addition, you distribute your inheritance to the heirs who appreciate your estate.

Rental guide for owners of residential real estate
Renting a property often involves more work and financial outlay than selling a property. With a sale, the contractual relationship between buyer and seller usually ends when the purchase price is paid. It is not relevant whether the future owner will treat the building with care or not. Exactly the opposite is true for renting! Here you are entering into a longer contract – one that may often last for many years.
Heating renovation in existing properties - what you need to know
The renovation and updating of the heating has become a key issue, especially for existing properties, and should always be given top priority when buying a property. In addition to personal values surrounding environmental protection, future political requirements to replace fossil heat generation in residential buildings should also not be underestimated.
Condominium ownership - Renovation fund and value of a share
The creation of a renovation fund is not required by law. However, if the regulations provide for the establishment of a renovation fund, this provision must be complied with. It is advisable to create the renovation fund already in the first year after completion of the property. The contributions paid in are earmarked and serve to maintain the value of the property. They are intended in particular for future renovation work, such as on the roof, building technology or on the building envelope.
