Key points at a glance
Living in Puidoux (roughly 2’974 residents (postal code 1070))? This guide frames the topic of "Mortgage and financing" for the canton of Vaud: 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 Puidoux, 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 — Chexbres (1 km), Rivaz (2 km), Saint-Saphorin (3 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Mortgage and financing in Puidoux: rate, affordability, protection
Home ownership in Puidoux 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.
Work through before signing

- Rate model: fixed, SARON or mixed — matched to horizon and risk capacity.
- Direct vs. indirect amortisation (pillar 3a) and the tax effect.
