Finding a home is the core of the relocation process. The house where your children will grow up and where you will welcome your friends must encompass "personality" and "emotions" as well as needing to be practical and within your budget. In Switzerland, tenancy law differs from canton to canton. You need to be advised and supported through the process including the following steps:

• Needs assessment and Remote Orientation Tour
• Accompanied house hunting
• Lease application/negotiation/explanation/signature
• Assistance with setting up rent and security deposit
• Insurance
• Assistance at entry inspection
• Subscription to energy supplier
• Information and documentation with the Day to Day publication

At Packimpex, each of the 8 offices has a housing desk responsible for sourcing the properties, and maintaining a strong relationship with the landlords and real estate agencies. This gives your consultant access to a number of properties not usually available on the housing market. The key to a successful home search is based on effective communication and successful expectation setting. Right from the beginning of the process, with the help of our Remote Orientation Tour, you will have a clear picture of a well defined process and a clear vision of what to expect during and after your relocation.

From the needs assessment to the property handover, your personal consultant will guide you to avoid the pitfalls. You will benefit from his/her professional expertise in the numerous topics related to your future home including tenancy regulations. At Packimpex, we believe that a well handled arrival will result in a smooth departure.

The must: You can have rental furniture installed for your arrival in the event your household goods shipment is delayed and you wish to settle into your permanent accommodation directly.
