Question 1

How does the confidential residential appraisal journey work?

Accepted Answer

The guided journey asks about the property and the owner’s objective, while Quick Submission allows an owner to send a photograph, document or webpage with required contact details and privacy consent. Every enquiry is reviewed personally and confidentially.

Question 2

Is the initial appraisal an instant or certified valuation?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a confidential initial market appraisal based on the information supplied and market context. It is not an instant algorithmic result or a formal certified valuation, which may require a separately instructed qualified independent valuer.

Question 3

How can a buyer submit a Swiss residential property search?

Accepted Answer

Buyers can describe the property type, preferred locations, legal or residency context, requirements, budget, finance position and timing before adding contact details. Acquisition eligibility and restrictions remain subject to property-specific verification.

Question 4

How are hotel buyers, investors, operators and capital providers classified?

Accepted Answer

The commercial demand journey first asks whether the visitor wants to buy, operate, buy and operate, invest, provide debt or equity, join a JV, forward fund or seek a strategic introduction. The following questions then adapt to that role.

Question 5

Can an owner or developer request project finance or a JV partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The commercial owner and developer journey includes refinancing, acquisition finance, development finance, CAPEX and bridge finance, mezzanine, preferred equity, common-equity JV, forward funding, forward purchase, operator and tenant searches, conversion and repositioning.

Question 6

What is the difference between a capital provider and a capital seeker?

Accepted Answer

A capital provider is an investor, lender, family office, fund or other party looking to deploy debt or equity and enters through the commercial demand journey. A capital seeker is an owner, sponsor or developer seeking finance or a partner and enters through the commercial owner and developer journey.

Question 7

What information is useful for an initial finance or JV review?

Accepted Answer

Useful information includes the asset or project type, location, site control, planning and construction stage, amount sought, total cost or value, sponsor equity, use of funds, timing, partner role and exit strategy. Sensitive documents are not requested on the homepage.

Question 8

Does submitting a journey guarantee a valuation, buyer, funding or transaction?

Accepted Answer

No. The journeys organise information for a confidential initial review. They do not generate or guarantee a valuation, finance offer, investor, buyer, operator, JV partner or successful transaction.

Question 9

Can foreign buyers purchase residential property in Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

Foreign-buyer eligibility depends on nationality, residence status, intended use, canton, municipality and the individual property. Lex Koller and local quota rules can apply, so eligibility should be checked before a buyer commits to a transaction.

Question 10

What should a buyer know about Swiss Alpine property?

Accepted Answer

Alpine properties vary significantly in access, altitude, rental restrictions, renovation needs, running costs and foreign-buyer eligibility. A search should assess the specific building or chalet, not only the resort or asking price.

Question 11

Can TDRE help with an off-market property acquisition?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Where appropriate, TDRE can undertake discreet owner outreach, use professional relationships and coordinate buyer representation for properties that are not publicly marketed. Off-market availability cannot be guaranteed.

Question 12

Can an appraisal be used for a mortgage, court or tax purpose?

Accepted Answer

The homepage journey provides an initial market appraisal, not a certified valuation. A bank, court, tax authority or legal process may require a separately instructed qualified valuer and a report prepared for that specific purpose.

Question 13

What does residential owner representation include?

Accepted Answer

Owner representation may include sales preparation, broker coordination, renovation oversight, contract and quotation review, cost control, due diligence coordination and communication with technical or professional advisers.

Question 14

Can TDRE oversee a renovation for a private property owner?

Accepted Answer

TDRE can support owners with scope definition, contractor and consultant coordination, quotation comparison, contract review, progress monitoring and cost oversight. Technical design and regulated professional services remain with the appointed specialists.

Question 15

Can TDRE help someone buy a hotel in Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hotel acquisition advice may include search strategy, owner or broker contact, operator and brand considerations, initial commercial review, due diligence coordination, financing discussions and transaction support.

Question 16

Does TDRE work with hotel operators as well as property investors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A hotel situation may involve a property buyer, lease operator, management-contract operator, franchisee, brand, developer, lender or equity investor. The role and operating model are clarified before counterparties are approached.

Question 17

What is development finance?

Accepted Answer

Development finance is funding used for land, construction, conversion or major repositioning. A lender or investor will normally review planning status, total cost, sponsor equity, contractor arrangements, projected value, timing and exit strategy.

Question 18

How does a real estate joint venture work?

Accepted Answer

A joint venture combines parties with complementary resources, such as a site or project, development expertise and investment capital. Governance, decision rights, funding obligations, profit sharing, security and exit terms must be agreed for the specific project.

Question 19

Can TDRE introduce equity investors or lenders?

Accepted Answer

TDRE can assess a financing brief and, where appropriate, approach relevant family offices, investors, banks or alternative lenders. Any introduction, due diligence, pricing and approval remain subject to the independent decision of each party.

Question 20

What information is needed for a commercial property acquisition brief?

Accepted Answer

Useful information includes target asset type, location, investment size, return profile, occupancy, lease length, operating exposure, financing position, timing and whether the buyer is seeking a direct acquisition, development or joint venture.
