05 / OWNERSHIP, CONSIDERED

A home in the city’s rhythm

A city address is about access: culture, work and the places you return to. We look at the particular neighbourhood and comparable homes, not only the name above the door.

01 — Life today

Personal use, included services, rental rules and the annual operating budget. We put your way of living before a sales presentation.

02 — Value over time

We request comparable transactions, recurring fees, brand agreement terms and an exit scenario. A brand premium is a purchase-price difference, not a promise of appreciation.

03 — The next generation

A family asset starts with a suitable ownership structure. A qualified local adviser assesses inheritance, tax and whether a trust or other structure fits your family.
