The keys to purchasing your new-build luxury property in Switzerland and the French Alps
Buying a high-end new-build property offers multiple advantages, whether you plan to make it your home or an investment. By carefully choosing the location of your future residence (or rental property), you can enjoy an exceptional lifestyle in Switzerland or in the heart of the French Alps, while building the prestigious villa or duplex of your dreams. At FGP Swiss & Alps, our experts put their experience at your service to guide you through every stage of your new-build property purchase.
Why invest in a new-build luxury property?
Purchasing a new-build luxury property involves acquiring a prestigious home either off-plan or newly completed (but never lived in). When buying off-plan, you have the opportunity to personalise your interiors by working with an architect or selecting from the developer’s options – from layout and materials to finishes and fittings. You also benefit from the guidance of a new-build specialist, offering advice and recommendations throughout the process. For this reason, professional support is essential during the customisation phase.
Another major advantage of a brand-new or to-be-built property lies in its compliance with the strictest standards at every level. A new-build acquisition ensures your property incorporates all current regulations in terms of comfort, safety, energy efficiency and technology (including home automation). In Switzerland, for example, the Minergie label designates properties with optimal comfort, efficiency and energy performance. In contrast, bringing an existing property up to these standards can entail significant costs for the new owner.
A new-build luxury project therefore makes perfect sense: in terms of comfort and premium features if you wish to live there, and in terms of profitability if you are considering an investment. It also increases your chances of generating added value upon resale.
How to find the right new-build luxury property
Begin your search for the prestigious property that reflects your aspirations: an exceptional apartment, a high-end duplex or triplex, a dream penthouse, or a stylish contemporary residence.
For a new-build property purchase, location remains the most important factor. Given the rarity of building plots in both Switzerland and the French Alps, it is highly advisable to work with specialists. The FGP Swiss & Alps team will help you identify the ideal site based on your goals: perhaps to build an exceptional chalet in Méribel or Crans-Montana, or to create a stunning villa in Nendaz or Haute-Nendaz.
In particular, the Valais canton offers an exceptional lifestyle and multiple opportunities to buy or invest in luxury real estate.
