Look for the Federal Diploma of Higher Education for real estate appraisers. Membership of the SIV (Schweizer Immobilienschätzer-Verband) also shows expertise. The same applies to the SVIT chamber of valuation experts (Bewertungsexperten-Kammer SVIT).

In Köniz, experience in the individual parts of the municipality also counts. The median asking prices of the localities differ by up to CHF 1,543 per m². Property experts from the Comparis partner network know the market around Bern.

A valuation shows you which asking price matches the market in Köniz. It also helps in an inheritance division or a divorce. For a sale in the canton of Bern, the following applies as of October 2026:

• Property gains tax: The canton and the municipality tax the profit from the sale. The profit is the proceeds minus the purchase price and value-enhancing expenses.

• Length of ownership: After five years of ownership, the taxable gain decreases by 2 percent per year. The reduction is capped at 70 percent. If you sell before five years of ownership, the tax is higher.

• Replacement purchase: Are you selling your owner-occupied home and buying a new one in Switzerland? Then the tax is deferred, but not waived.

• Inherited property: The official value (amtlicher Wert) at the time of inheritance counts as the purchase price. Alternatively, the previous owners’ investment costs can be used.

• Property transfer tax: It amounts to 1.8 percent and is paid by the buyer. If the buyer uses the property as their main residence, no tax is due on the first CHF 800,000 of the purchase price.

• Official value: It is used for wealth tax and is not a sale price.

The purchase contract is notarized by a notary listed in the canton of Bern’s register of notaries (Notariatsregister).

• Land register extract: from the Bern-Mittelland land registry office (Grundbuchamt Bern-Mittelland) in Ostermundigen, with easements

• Official value: notice of the official value from the Bern cantonal tax administration

• Plans: floor plans with floor areas according to SIA 416 and an extract from the official cadastral survey

• Zone: zoning plan and building regulations of the municipality of Köniz

• Building insurance: policy from the Bern building insurer (Gebäudeversicherung Bern, GVB)

• Energy: GEAK, Minergie certificate or details of the heating system

• Permits: building permits and special permits (Ausnahmebewilligungen) for conversions and extensions

• Renovations: overview of maintenance and renovations in recent years

• Rented properties: lease agreements and rent roll

• Condominium ownership: regulations, ownership quotas and renovation fund balance
