Value land in French-speaking Switzerland
Land is assessed through zoning, rights and restrictions. Area alone cannot determine building potential.
Start my requestWhat the analysis considers
- Zoning and applicable rules
- Area, shape, slope and access
- Utilities, easements and public restrictions

We distinguish building land, agricultural plots and outdoor spaces attached to a house. Buildability must be documented; it cannot be inferred from a photograph.
Useful documents

Land use shapes a property’s value.
A plot’s value depends on permitted uses and rights. A field and a building plot of the same size serve different markets.
Changing agricultural land into building land requires an approved plan that has entered into force. Being near a station or motorway is not enough. Building rights, infrastructure, easements and project costs must then be assessed. In Vaud, residential building zones are sized according to needs over 15 years.

Your valuation in practice
How is building land or agricultural land valued?
Zoning, documented development rights, access, utilities and easements guide the review. Agricultural land and building land serve different markets, even when their areas are identical.
Does being near a station make land buildable?
No. Buildability must be checked against the plans, regulations and decisions applicable to the plot. Convenient access can be a location advantage; it does not create development rights.
What does the CHF 500 price include?
A scheduled visit, a written PDF report and a phone discussion to explain the results. Property scope and delivery date are agreed before starting. No payment is requested in the form.
