Exploring the potential of your land
Understand your plot through its rights, constraints and renovation opportunities. These documents and questions help prepare your project.
Start with the property documents
Before discussing an extension, gather the plot number, zoning plan, municipal building rules and land register extract. Parcellis guides suggest reviewing these together to examine permitted uses, heights, boundary distances and easements. A development ratio alone does not confirm that a project is feasible.
Understand the land constraints
The public law restrictions cadastre helps identify restrictions affecting a plot. Read the plans and texts for the relevant topics, then discuss your questions with the municipality. The land register adds information, including private easements. Keep the extracts and their dates so the analysis can be checked.
Prepare an energy renovation
For an existing building, gather details on heating, windows, insulation and energy use. A cantonal energy certificate can document performance; its Plus version adds renovation options. Ask a specialist which measures suit the building and obtain quotes to compare costs. Energy performance alone does not establish a right to alter the building.
Check funding before starting work
Support programmes and conditions vary by canton and project. Check the requirements, documents and application timetable with the official programme before work starts. Funding must be confirmed for your application. Keep the full budget, confirmed funding and remaining financing need separate.
Connect the potential to your valuation
An approved additional area, better building documentation or a costed renovation plan can inform a valuation. Present the current condition separately from possibilities still requiring confirmation. Evora Immo helps organise these details; discuss the tax implications of renovation or a sale with Vivatax.
Understand what gives your property its value.
Market figures provide context. The visit documents your property. The analysis brings the elements together to explain the assessed value.
Current value is based on documented uses, condition and rights. An extension or conversion project is presented separately with conditions to check. This distinction gives you a clear basis for decisions.
