Offlist.chRelocation FAQ for Expats
Essential answers for your move to Switzerland.
How hard is it to find an apartment in Zurich?
Extremely competitive. In Zurich and Geneva, the vacancy rate is often below 0.1%. Without a professional relocation expert and an 'off-market' search, it can take 3-6 months to secure a suitable home.
What is a "Betreibungsauszug"?
It is a certificate of non-enforcement (debt report). It is the single most important document in your Swiss application dossier. We assist expats in obtaining or explaining this requirement to landlords.
Can an agency help me negotiate the rent?
Yes. While base rents are often fixed, we can negotiate the 'Nebenkosten' (service charges), parking fees, or request apartment upgrades before move-in.
How long does the home search typically take?
With our off-market network, most clients secure a home within 2-4 weeks. Without professional help, the average search in Zurich takes 3-6 months due to the extreme competition and low vacancy rates.
