A Home forGenerations
More than a destination.
A way of life.
The trusted advisory for international families buying property in Switzerland — from first search to final signature.
A country built on
stability and discretion.
Switzerland offers international families something increasingly rare: certainty. A stable currency, transparent law, and a culture that has protected privacy and property for centuries.
Currency & Political Stability
190+ years without a currency crisis, anchored by transparent law and constitutional continuity.
Quality of Life, Repeatedly
Switzerland ranks 1st globally for quality of life on major indices, year after year.
26 Distinct Jurisdictions
Each of Switzerland's 26 cantons carries its own property law — we navigate the one that applies to you.
A Local Presence
Equis maintains permanent offices in Zürich and Dubai — not a fly-in advisory.
Two ways into the
Dubai market.
Whether you're building a rental portfolio from abroad or bringing a property to market, Equis runs the Dubai side of it — so you don't have to be in the room.
Investing in Dubai
Dubai offers net rental yields most European markets can't match, with zero property tax and freehold ownership across 40+ designated zones. We handle sourcing, due diligence, DLD registration, and ongoing management — whether you invest remotely from Zürich or relocate outright.

Selling & Buying in Dubai
Bringing a property to market or searching for the right one, Equis manages the full transaction — professional photography, listing across our European investor network, and closings that typically complete within 30 days.

final signature.
Buying property as a foreign national in Switzerland means navigating a path most advisors only half understand. We walk every step of it with you.
Discovery & Search
We begin by understanding what "home" needs to mean for your family — lifestyle, canton, proximity to schools or offices — then search far beyond public listings, using relationships built over years in the Swiss market.
Regulatory Navigation — Lex Koller
Switzerland restricts property purchases by foreign nationals under the Lex Koller act. We identify which properties and structures are available to you, and prepare the documentation regulators expect to see.
Negotiation & Specialist Network
We negotiate directly on your behalf, then introduce you to the legal, tax, and local specialists you'll want in your corner — vetted over years, not found the week you need them.
Zurich discipline.
Dubai reach.
Equis was founded by a Swiss national whose career moved through investment banking, real estate, and hospitality before returning home to build something more personal — an advisory that treats a property purchase the way the client actually experiences it: as a long-term commitment, not a transaction.
Based between Zurich and Dubai, Equis was built for clients who move between the two worlds — international families who need a partner as fluent in Gulf timelines as in Swiss formality.
Every mandate is handled personally, in the language the client is most at ease in.
The city behind our
second office.
Dubai's skyline is really a set of distinct communities, each with its own rhythm, waterfront, and ownership rules. Here is a first orientation to the districts our Dubai team works in most often.
Illustrative district guide, not individual listings — availability and ownership rules vary by community and are confirmed with each client directly.
What clients say.
Real experiences from the international families we've guided through search, negotiation, and closing.
They found us a property that never appeared on any listing site, and handled every regulatory step without us having to think about it once.
What stood out was the discretion. Every introduction — lawyer, notary, tax advisor — was someone they clearly trusted personally.
Buying as a foreign national in Switzerland felt daunting until we spoke with Equis. Lex Koller stopped being a wall and became a checklist.
