Mortgage, financing and home protection in Thusis

Key points at a glance

Living in Thusis (roughly 3’217 residents (postal code 7430))? This guide frames the topic of "Mortgage and financing" for the canton of Graubünden: which rules apply nationwide, which are cantonal — and how to bring insurance, your tax return and pension planning into a coherent whole? Assur-IA works in an educational, comparative way, as a complement (not a substitute) to individual advice.

In Switzerland some rules are cantonal (tax rates, deductions, allowances), others federal (LAMal, federal law). In Thusis, 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 — Masein (1 km), Rongellen (2 km), Sils im Domleschg (2 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Mortgage and financing in Thusis: rate, affordability, protection

Home ownership in Thusis works through the standard rules of mortgage financing: usually at least 20% equity, notional affordability and amortisation of the second mortgage. On the rate model you can choose between a fixed-rate mortgage (budget certainty), SARON (market-linked, variable) and hybrids — with direct effects on your long-term budget and the liquidity reserve you need.

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.
