Buying property in the canton of Zurich is one of the largest transactions of your life. The notary authenticates the agreement and must remain neutral. An unfavourable clause may only become apparent when someone reads the contract from your perspective.
The notary ensures formal validity under Article 216 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. Assessing whether the contract is fair to you as the buyer remains your responsibility.
Exclusions of warranties, transfer of benefits and risk, inventory, existing leases and easements: individual clauses determine who bears a hidden risk.
After notarisation, the purchase is binding. Terralex’s team reads the draft while there is still time to negotiate changes.
No. Article 216 of the Swiss Code of Obligations requires public notarisation of property purchases. The notary must remain neutral and represents neither buyer nor seller. Terralex reviews the contract from your perspective before notarisation. The two services complement each other.
A written assessment explaining which clauses are standard or favourable, which are critical and what to renegotiate before signing. Full negotiation support includes ongoing written assistance. Personal consultations and direct negotiations are reserved for Premium.
As soon as the notary or seller provides a draft, ideally three to five days before notarisation, so there is time to discuss and negotiate changes.
