Geneva cross-border worker: how to compare two new-build developments

Start with your real weekly routine: workplace, usual hours, border crossing and preferred transport. The exact address matters more than a broad claim of being close to Geneva.

Compare the complete purchase cost, including parking, acquisition costs, options and financing. With income in CHF and a purchase in euros, keep a prudent margin for exchange-rate and interest-rate changes.

Then examine the floor plan, orientation, outdoor space, specifications, staged payments and indicative completion date. Prices and availability should always be reconfirmed before making a decision.
