OFFER – off-market estate agency
Investment property in French-speaking Switzerland
Valuation – Investment property

Value an investment property, without alerting the market.

A building is not valued like a villa: it is worth what its rental schedule capitalises. At OFFER, this analysis is done from documents, in complete confidentiality – your tenants, your managing agent and the market will never know.

The method

How is an investment property valued?

The value of a rental building rests on three pillars: the net rental income (what the building actually collects, after vacancy and non-recoverable charges), the capitalisation rate (the one investors demand today for this type of asset, at this location, in this condition) and the potential (rental reserves, raising, energy renovation). A quarter point of capitalisation rate can represent hundreds of thousands of francs: that is precisely why valuing a building cannot be delegated to an online simulator. We cross-check three methods – direct capitalisation, discounted cash flow (DCF) and comparison with the network's real transactions, often never published – to reach a narrow range that stands up to a buyer as well as a bank.

To go further: our guide “The capitalisation rate: the formula that sets your building's price” (in French).

The documents

The documents that make the precision

A few documents are enough for a serious first valuation: the detailed rental schedule (rents per unit, lease expiries), the summary of charges, the year of construction and major renovations (roof, facades, heating, risers), and any planned works. Don't have everything to hand? Start with the form below – orders of magnitude are enough to begin the analysis; the rest is completed at the confidential meeting.

Discretion

Why discretion is worth money

A building sells occupied. As soon as a sale leaks, tenants worry, the managing agent wonders and buyers smell a rushed seller – three factors that weigh directly on the price. Our process reverses the logic: the valuation, then the possible presentation to a few qualified investors of the network, unfold without any signal reaching the market. You then decide, entirely freely: sell, refinance, add value – or do nothing.

Your questions

Your questions, in complete discretion

How much does an investment property valuation cost?

Nothing. The OFFER valuation is free and without obligation – we are only paid on the success of a sale, if you decide to entrust it to us.

Can my tenants or my managing agent find out?

No. No signposted visit, no listing, no document requests to third parties without your consent. Confidentiality is contractual from the very first exchange.

What information do I need to provide?

For a first range: the municipality, the number of units, the annual rental income and the overall condition are enough. The full analysis is then refined from documents (detailed rental schedule, charges, leases).

In which regions do you value?

All of French-speaking Switzerland: Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Fribourg and Neuchâtel, with intimate knowledge of the Lake Geneva markets.
