Mortgage, financing and home protection in S-chanf

Key points at a glance

This information page is aimed at people living in S-chanf (roughly 690 residents (postal code 7525)), in the canton of Graubünden, who want to organise their insurance, tax matters and cover in line with Swiss law. Assur-IA supports households and the self-employed with a clear treatment of "Mortgage and financing" — premiums, deductibles, deductions and responsibilities — without replacing individual tax or legal advice.

In Switzerland some rules are cantonal (tax rates, deductions, allowances), others federal (LAMal, federal law). In S-chanf, your actual circumstances — renting or owning, employment status, household size, vehicles, cross-border income — therefore shape risk and priorities far more than the postal code. The nearest municipalities — Zuoz (2 km), Madulain (5 km), La Punt Chamues-ch (8 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Mortgage and financing in S-chanf: rate, affordability, protection

Anyone buying or renewing a mortgage in S-chanf operates within the usual framework: equity (at least 20%, part of it "hard" equity), an affordability calculation with a notional rate and mandatory amortisation of the second mortgage. Whether a fixed-rate mortgage, SARON or a combination suits you better depends on rate expectations, risk capacity and planning horizon.

Financing goes hand in hand with protection: depending on the situation, lenders require or recommend building insurance, loss-of-earnings or death-risk cover. For tax, mortgage interest is generally deductible — and the trade-off between direct amortisation and indirect amortisation via pillar 3a should be worked out over ten to fifteen years.
