Mortgage Financing
What if your property could cost you much less in the long run?
Buying or refinancing a home is often the biggest investment of your life.
But the difference between a good and a bad mortgage can mean tens of thousands of francs saved over the years.
Each bank, insurance company, and pension fund offers different conditions, interest rates, and lending models.
My role is to help you find the ideal solution, based on your personal situation, tax profile, and long-term goals.
I’m Mathias Sudres, an independent, FINMA-registered financial and insurance advisor specializing in pension planning, financing, and wealth strategy.
I work with over 30 financial institutions across Switzerland — banks, insurance companies, and pension funds — to provide a neutral, comprehensive comparison.
My goal: to make sure you get the lowest possible rate while keeping the flexibility you need for the future.
Types of mortgages in Switzerland
- Fixed-rate mortgage
The rate remains unchanged for the entire term (2, 5, 10, or 15 years).
✅ Security and predictable payments
❌ Less flexibility if rates drop
- Variable-rate mortgage
The rate adjusts according to market fluctuations (LIBOR / SARON).
✅ Advantageous when rates are low
❌ Must anticipate potential rate increases
- SARON or mixed mortgage
A flexible combination — part fixed, part variable.
Perfect for those who want to benefit from low rates while staying partially protected.
A concrete example
For a property worth CHF 900,000 with 20 % down payment:
You borrow CHF 720,000.
A difference of only 0.5 % in interest equals around CHF 3,600 saved per year, or more than CHF 36,000 over 10 years.
That’s why comparing — objectively and independently — really matters.
My approach: transparent, independent, and comprehensive
Step 1 — Personalized analysis
Review of your financial situation, income, savings, and tax position.
Step 2 — Multi-bank comparison
Search and negotiation for the best rates and conditions (banks, insurers, pension funds).
Step 3 — Simulation and optimization
I present several scenarios — fixed or variable rates, direct or indirect amortization, tax effects, flexibility options.
Step 4 — Full administrative support
I handle all communication with banks, insurers, and notaries until final approval.
Why work with an independent advisor?
Unlike a bank, I represent you, not an institution.
My job is to secure the best financing on the market, without bias or hidden interest.
- Access to a wide banking and insurance network
- Save time — one analysis covers all lenders
- Clear and transparent comparisons
- Direct negotiation with institutions
- Integrated tax and pension advice (e.g. amortization via the 3rd pillar)
Who can benefit?
- First-time homebuyers (main or secondary residence)
- Refinancing / mortgage renewal
- Equity buyout or inheritance division
- Investment property or rental project
- Swiss residents and cross-border workers (I compare offers for both profiles)
