Re: What to look for when buying a house in Switzerland

Deposit normally 20% of house value although investments are pledge-able (eg pensions)

You can usually borrow such that no more than 33% of your gross salary is spent in the mortgage repayments.

Which means you can borrow a LOT, if you are confident enough and you are really really want to.
