Northlake Partners supports clients in every phase of buying, selling and developing property in Switzerland. As an independent advisor, we do not buy or develop properties ourselves – we connect you with the right specialists and leverage our extensive network to secure off-market opportunities, competitive financing and expert guidance at every stage.
Get in touchWhether you are purchasing your first home or expanding a portfolio, we guide you through the entire buying process in Switzerland. Our role is to coordinate the right specialists at every stage and ensure your interests are protected from the initial search to handover of keys.
Through our extensive network of developers, agents and private owners, we regularly gain early access to properties before they reach the open market. This gives our clients a decisive advantage in Switzerland's competitive property markets.
Selling a property in Switzerland involves far more than listing it on the market. We coordinate a structured sales process that maximises your proceeds while minimising complexity, connecting you with the right professionals at every stage.
Many of Switzerland's most attractive properties never reach the open market. Through relationships built over years with developers, private owners and agents, we offer our clients exclusive access to properties that are not publicly listed.
Early access to new-build projects and renovations from established Swiss developers, often months before public marketing begins.
Direct contacts with private property owners considering a sale, for discreet transactions without public exposure.
Trusted relationships with leading Swiss agents who share exclusive listings with us before they reach the broader market.
Before any property transaction, thorough due diligence is essential. We coordinate independent valuations and comprehensive assessments so you can make informed decisions, connecting you with the right specialists for every aspect of the evaluation.
Whether you are planning a new build, renovation or larger development project, we connect you with the right professionals and provide independent guidance throughout the process. We do not develop properties ourselves – we ensure your interests are represented at every stage.
The right financing structure can make a significant difference to the total cost of property ownership. As an independent advisor, we compare mortgage offers from Swiss banks and specialist lenders to secure the most competitive terms for your situation.
By comparing mortgage offers from 12 banks, we were able to secure a rate 0.35% below our client's existing bank offer – on a CHF 1.2 million mortgage, a saving of CHF 4,200 per year.
Property ownership in Switzerland involves complex tax considerations that vary by canton and ownership structure. We coordinate with specialist tax advisors to ensure your property ownership is optimally structured and compliant.
We do not conduct property transactions, construction work or legal work ourselves. Instead, we connect our clients with a carefully vetted network of independent specialists, each selected for their expertise, integrity and commitment to the client's interests.
Experienced architects for new-build design, renovations and project planning. From concept drawings to building permit applications.
Reliable general contractors and site managers for residential and commercial projects in German-speaking Switzerland.

Every specialist in our network has been personally vetted and shares our commitment to putting the client's interests first.
An executive relocating to Zurich needed a family home in a prime location within a tight timeframe. Through our off-market network, we identified three suitable properties before they were publicly listed. We coordinated viewings, organised independent valuations and connected the client with a specialist property lawyer for the purchase contract. At the same time, we compared mortgage offers from 8 banks and secured financing 0.28% below the market average. The notary appointment was arranged within two weeks of the client's decision. From first contact to key handover: 90 days.
Whether you are buying your first home, selling an investment property or planning a development project – we are here to guide you through the process and connect you with the right specialists.
