Commercial & residential buildings for sale in Switzerland

Commercial and residential buildings for sale pair a shop, office or workshop at street level with flats above, in towns and cities across Switzerland. They suit a buyer who wants a rented business tenant and residential income from the same roof, and buying one means a notarized deed and a land-register entry, with non-residents sometimes needing Lex Koller authorization for this kind of property.

What to weigh before buying

• Ground-floor tenant type: a bakery or shop draws different foot traffic and noise than an office or a small workshop, which shapes who wants to live above it.
• Mixed zoning rules: the commune's zoning has to permit both the commercial use downstairs and the residential use upstairs, and the split between the two isn't always flexible after purchase.
• Two income streams, two sets of upkeep: rents from the shop and the flats both need managing, and a shop fit-out ages differently to a flat's kitchen or bathroom.
• Tenant mix and turnover: a stable, long-term commercial tenant supports the building's value more than one that changes every couple of years.
