Key points at a glance

Assur-IA supports households and the self-employed with a clear treatment of "Personal loan and car leasing" — premiums, deductibles, deductions and responsibilities — without replacing individual tax or legal advice.
The Swiss system combines cantonal responsibilities (taxes, rates, allowances) with federal law (LAMal, national rules). For Rheinau that means your real profile — housing situation, employment, family, vehicles, any cross-border matters — weighs more than the address. The nearest municipalities — Dachsen (2 km), Laufen-Uhwiesen (4 km), Benken (4 km) — each have their own local page as well. Below you will find the relevant reference points for a first assessment.

Mortgage and financing in Rheinau: rate, affordability, protection
Home ownership in Rheinau 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.
