Select the correct property in SITN
Search SITN for the address or property and select the correct result. Its help explains the Cadastre and Aménagement themes. Before saving an extract, check that you are still looking at the same parcel. Attach your questions to the relevant document. This helps distinguish an issue concerning the existing building from one involving a neighbouring plot or a proposed extension.
Compare the data date with present conditions
SITN points users to its catalogue for information about data currency and accuracy. Compare that information with renovation records and recent photographs. An older aerial image can help explain the surroundings, but it does not document subsequent interior alterations. Prepare a short chronology covering purchase records, completed work, available plans and current use. Flag documents whose date or definition of floor area is unclear to you.
Match the file to the property type
For a house, collect floor plans, heating details and invoices for the roof, windows or other substantial works. For an apartment, add the allocation plan, outdoor spaces and records of shared renovations. For land, prepare planning documents and information about access and utility connections. If alterations are proposed, separate the existing condition from the planned version. Supply conflicting area figures with their sources instead of silently making them consistent.
Your enquiry with Suisse Homes
Our central contact in Steinhausen handles your enquiry. The first discussion covers the purpose of the valuation, available documents, the scope and terms of the service, and arrangements for a visit. Please also share your timetable. If a bank, authority or formal proceeding requires a particular type of report, its requirements need to be clarified first.
Official sources to prepare your enquiry
These sources describe the location and property records. They do not calculate an individual market value.
Frequently asked questions
Does an aerial image prove that alterations are complete?
No. Use current plans, recent photographs and available completion records, and state when the work finished. An exterior image does not show the entire internal condition or the exact layout and use of the rooms.
What if two documents disagree?
Keep both versions and identify their dates, sources and the spaces involved. Describe the discrepancy in your enquiry. An explicit clarification is more useful than an estimated correction that cannot later be traced to its source.
How much does a property valuation cost?
Your enquiry is non-binding. The services and any fees are explained during the first discussion, before you decide. An enquiry does not oblige you to sell. Please mention any specific requirements for the report at the outset.
