Over 15 years of experience in Munich, Bavaria & the surrounding area. Commission the best real estate agents for your property in Lugano.
Between the decision to sell and the notary appointment in Lugano, there are usually several months of work: gathering documents, reliably determining the value, finding the right buyer group, negotiating. We take over these steps completely and keep you informed of every interim status.
Instead of searching portals daily, we reverse the process: you register your profile for Lugano, we automatically match every new listing with it, and we actively contact you. No fees for searchers, no automated mass emails, no sharing of your data with third parties.

Speculation period (Spekulationsfrist), gift, property annuity (Verrentung), partial sale: We show you the options and, if desired, work together with your tax advisor and notary. So that, in the end, what you intended remains net.

Below you will find a clear presentation of current purchase prices, rents, and land values in Lugano. The data is based on publicly available statistics and valuation committee analyses — as a basis for decision-making for owners, buyers, and investors.
For Swiss municipalities, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) does not publish square metre prices per municipality, but rather the national residential property price index IMPI. We therefore show the national index – as a reference for long-term price development in Lugano. Basis: Q4 2019 = 100.
Index level 2026: 126.8 points (Basis Q4 2019 = 100)
The national FSO index IMPI reflects the development of transaction prices for owner-occupied housing in Switzerland. As the FSO does not publish square metre prices specific to municipalities, the national index serves as a reliable reference for long-term price development — including in Lugano.

We do not have any officially reliable transaction series for Lugano. A valuation is therefore based on comparable properties in the surrounding municipalities. An excessively high starting price measurably costs time in Lugano. Properties that remain on the market for a long time are systematically negotiated below their value by prospective buyers later on. The district of Lugano generally serves as the comparison area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Lugano. As soon as reliable market data for Lugano becomes available, we will add it here, including the source and date.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Lugano — concisely answered.
For owners in Lugano who wish to sell their property and continue to live in it, FREITAG® offers the classic property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) — via usufruct (Nießbrauch), Right of residence, Leaseback or Life annuity. You release the capital tied up in your house or condominium in Lugano and secure a right of residence registered in the land registry.
The model that is particularly in demand is Usufruct: You remain the economic owner, are in the first rank in the land registry, and can even rent out the property if needed. An owner-occupancy termination is contractually excluded for all four models.
Whether it's care costs, gifts to heirs, or a noticeably higher pension: We will check for owners in Lugano, free of charge, which model suits their life situation, and obtain offers from selected investors and foundations.
For many businesses, capital is tied up in Lugano in their own property instead of in operational business. Sale & Lease-Back solves this: sale to an investor, simultaneously a long-term lease agreement that secures usage. Business operations, address, and workforce remain where they are.
A lot changes in the balance sheet — the property leaves the fixed assets, depreciation becomes rental expense. Whether this is advantageous for your company depends on the legal form, financing structure, and tax starting position; therefore, we calculate this together with your tax advisor before anything is signed.
Crucial for the achievable price are the lease agreement term, creditworthiness, and third-party usability (Drittverwendungsfähigkeit) of the property in Lugano. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Hospitality properties in Lugano are valued differently from residential properties: Key factors are turnover, contribution margin, seating capacity, kitchen technology, licences, and whether the business can function without the previous owner. We value based on the earnings approach and openly state which portions are attributable to the property, inventory, and goodwill.
Marketing is conducted discreetly. A publicly visible sales offer unsettles staff, regular customers, and suppliers in Lugano — therefore, we approach interested parties specifically and under a confidentiality agreement.
Whether selling, leasing, or handing over to a successor within the family: We structure the path that suits the situation of your business in Lugano , and accompany you until the notary or lease agreement appointment.
