Key points at a glance
This information page is aimed at people living in Cossonay (roughly 3’876 residents (postal code 1304)), in the canton of Vaud, 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 Cossonay, 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 — Penthalaz (1 km), Dizy (2 km), Lussery-Villars (2 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Mortgage and financing in Cossonay: rate, affordability, protection
Home ownership in Cossonay 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.
Plan the protection at the same time: building cover, loss of earnings and death-risk cover belong in the package depending on the loan-to-value. And it pays to look at the tax details — mortgage interest is usually deductible, and indirect amortisation via a 3a account is often preferable to direct amortisation. A projection over 10–15 years brings clarity.
Work through before signing
- Affordability if rates rise (notional interest rate).
- Rate model: fixed, SARON or mixed — matched to horizon and risk capacity.
- Direct vs. indirect amortisation (pillar 3a) and the tax effect.
