Buying a chalet in Verbier is an exciting project, but should you make it your primary residence or opt for a second home? Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, which are essential to analyze before making a decision.
ADVANTAGES OF A PRIMARY RESIDENCE
1. An Exceptional Environment
Verbier offers a privileged natural setting, ideal for optimal quality of life. With its alpine landscapes, high-end infrastructure, and year-round activities, living here year-round is a dream for many.
2. Tax and Administrative Benefits
As a Swiss resident, you may benefit from a potentially favorable tax regime, particularly for local and property taxes. Additionally, being a primary resident makes it easier to access mortgage loans.
3. An Active Lifestyle All Year Round
Unlike a second home, a primary residence allows you to fully enjoy local services and activities: shops, schools, healthcare centers, and cultural events.THE BENEFITS OF A SECOND HOME
1. A Base in a Popular Resort
Owning a second home in Verbier allows you to enjoy the mountain at your own pace, without the constraints of permanent housing.
2. Seasonal Rental Opportunity
A chalet used as a second home can generate income by renting it out during the periods when you are not using it. Since Verbier is a popular destination, the rental yield can be quite attractive.
3. Flexibility and Freedom
With a second home, you have the flexibility to come whenever you want, without worrying about the daily obligations of permanent residence.
HOW TO CHOOSE?
The choice between a primary and a second home depends on several factors: your lifestyle, budget, and tax situation. If you want to live in Verbier year-round and fully enjoy the resort, opt for a primary residence. If you prefer an investment with more occasional use, a second home is ideal.
