Switzerland is one of the most desirable places to live in the world, which means knowing everything there is to know about making a life for yourself there really matters.
If you look at absolute prices of rentals, private healthcare, and buying a home then you will think it’s a lot more expensive than the UK. What these figures don’t tell you is that in relative terms things are much the same. You can expect to spend 25-30% of your take home pay on a mortgage or rent, with prices in the major cities in line with those back home. Tax rates are higher but so are average wages, and this all feeds into the world leading standards of healthcare and education the country is known for.
Buying a home is always a wise investment when the markets are like they are currently in this part of the world. They have long since recovered from the housing market crash but are a long way away from hitting the dizzy heights they once were. If you want to buy then look into areas where you are likely to be able to sell quickly if you find you want to move to another part of the country. You can expect to pay 90% of London prices in the major cities and most popular mountain resorts, with properties in more rural locations costing less than half the price per square metre. This gives you plenty of choice when you want to figure out the best approach for you and your family.
By all metrics Switzerland is one of the safest countries in the entire world. Violent crime, criminal damage and anti-social behaviour are all lower than in the UK with many coming in right at the lowest levels on the continent. This is due in part to the culture of strong, community policing, getting to know your neighbours and heavy investment in education and infrastructure over many decades. Exactly what you want to hear when you’re looking for a safe place to build a career and raise a family.
Swiss, French, English, and a whole host of other less commonly spoken languages will be heard in Switzerland. The key thing here is to keep an open mind and do a little extra research into which is most widely spoken in your chosen locality and your profession. That way you’ll be able to get to grips with the new language nice and quick, bond with your colleagues and neighbours, and really get into the swing of things in your new country.
