Document background
The Commercial Real Estate Contract is a fundamental legal instrument used in Switzerland for buying and selling commercial properties, including office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and other business premises. This document is essential when conducting commercial real estate transactions under Swiss jurisdiction, requiring compliance with federal laws (particularly the Swiss Civil Code and Code of Obligations) as well as cantonal regulations. The contract includes crucial elements such as property details, price terms, warranties, and specific provisions for commercial use, while addressing Swiss-specific requirements like notarization and land registry procedures. It's particularly important for ensuring legal certainty in high-value transactions and typically requires involvement of various professional advisors to ensure compliance with Swiss legal requirements.
