Selling a property in Verbier :
Besson Immobilier carries out a full evaluation, taking into account factors such as the location, surface area, overall condition, quality of materials, view, and accessibility. Indicative prices for apartments range from CHF 18,000 to 25,000 per m² for resale properties and up to CHF 42,000 per m² for new builds, but these may vary depending on these criteria. For chalets and plots of land, the evaluation also considers maintenance, age, size, building density, and exposure of the land, in order to determine a fair and realistic valuation.
After the valuation, the agency prepares a complete file including photos, plans, and detailed descriptions. It organises viewings and distributes the listing across the most suitable channels.
For a foreign buyer, the LFAIE procedure (Federal Act on the Acquisition of Real Estate by Persons Abroad, also known as Lex Koller) applies: acquisition authorisation request, payment of a deposit, and signature of the deed before a notary.
Besson Immobilier accompanies you through each step, up to the final payment and the registration of the sale with the Land Registry.
The essential documents include the property plans, the cadastral map, the land registry extract with supporting documents relating to easements, as well as any documents concerning renovations.
For a sale to a foreign buyer, you will also need to provide the declaration of intent, the sworn statement, the architect-signed plans, and the architect’s attestation.
This depends on the condition of the property and market demand. Some targeted renovations can increase the value or speed up the sale, while others may be less profitable. Besson Immobilier advises on the improvements to prioritise in order to maximise return on investment.
Periods of high demand often correspond to tourist seasons: winter for skiing and summer for mountain activities. The agency analyses local trends and buyer availability to determine the optimal moment to bring your property onto the market.
The commission is transparent and competitive, adapted to the type of property and the services provided. It includes preparing the sales file, targeted marketing, managing viewings, and legal support up to the signing of the deed.
Real estate capital gains tax: this tax is calculated on the difference between the sale price and the purchase price, taking into account expenses and renovation works, with a decreasing rate depending on the holding period. This is a cantonal scale that decreases according to ownership duration:
- 1st year: 38.40%
- 10th year: 20.16%
- 20th year: 10.56%
- Beyond 25 years: 3%
