Part V: Defects & Warranty
Final Acceptance & Warranty Release
The warranty process for a new Swiss apartment does not end at handover.
After you move in, two key milestones mark the official end of the developer’s responsibility:
- The two-year defect inspection (Zweijahresabnahme / réception à deux ans)
- The five-year final warranty expiry (Ablauf der Gewährleistung / expiration de la garantie)
This chapter explains what happens at each stage and what to check before signing the final release.
