Hey there guys,
was wondering what is the required capital deposit percentage in Switzerland to get a mortgage.
I know this differers across Europe, just a guideline would be great to know for the future.
Thanks
Eugene

Pension funds, in some circumstances, can be used as part of the 20%.
[my wife has used one of hers to this effect - but as I plan to knock her off before retirement comes, it's irrelevant - her life assurance is more valuable]

I think it's at least 10% cash, no more than 10% from your 2nd pillar, together at least 20% of the mortgage.

| | Re: Buying in Switzerland | Quote: | |  | | | Pension funds, in some circumstances, can be used as part of the 20%. | | | | | True, but your income will be significantly decreased if that pension fund has to pay out an invalidity or old age/retirement pension, something the bank/pension fund might not inform you about when trying to withdraw! I was offered this option when I set up my mortgage but I didn't take it, I preferred to pay the 20% in cash, thankfully a very wise move, as otherwise I might have found myself without a proper income now!
