Real EstateAcquisitions.
We focus on acquiring properties and land for high-quality real estate developments. For many years, we have been acquiring real estate with respect for the needs and interests of sellers. We understand the importance of clear and fair negotiations and strive to maintain transparency throughout the transaction process to ensure satisfaction for all parties involved.
Our Approach
OAKS GROUP SA conducts its real estate acquisitions with rigour and discernment. Each opportunity is assessed in terms of development potential, regulatory feasibility, and alignment with our long-term strategy in French-speaking Switzerland.
We work with existing buildings as well as building land, in urban and peripheral areas alike, across the cantons of Geneva and Vaud.
What We Handle
From the identification of a property to the signing of the notarial deed, OAKS GROUP SA manages the entire acquisition process:
- Assessment of building potential and development rights
- Analysis of regulatory constraints (LDTR, protected zones, local development plans)
- Review of land registry status and easements
- Coordination with notaries, surveyors and competent authorities
- Legal and financial structuring of the acquisition
- Support for sellers throughout the transaction
We integrate building permit parameters from the outset to anticipate timelines and conditions specific to the Swiss legal framework.
The Steps of an Acquisition
Our process is structured to ensure clarity and security for all parties:
- Initial contact and property presentation — confidential exchange with the owner or their representative.
- Preliminary analysis — review of the land registry, zoning plans and development potential.
- Indicative offer — a transparent proposal grounded in objective criteria.
- In-depth due diligence — technical, legal and financial verifications.
- Negotiation and agreement — discussions conducted in a spirit of mutual respect.
- Signing and transfer — finalisation before a notary, within the agreed timeframe.
Who We Work With
We work with private owners, estates, public bodies and institutional holders wishing to sell a property or a plot of land in the context of a development project.
Whether you hold a villa with garden in a residential zone, an older rental building or an undeveloped parcel, OAKS GROUP SA is able to provide a serious assessment of your property in the context of the Geneva and Vaud real estate markets.
Why OAKS GROUP SA
Our local roots and in-depth knowledge of the regulatory framework in French-speaking Switzerland allow us to conduct real estate acquisitions in Geneva and across the region with efficiency and integrity. We do not rely on unnecessary intermediaries: our contacts are directly involved in decision-making.
Our relationship with the seller is a commitment, not a formality. We prioritise transactions that are clear, well-documented, and conducted with respect for the interests of every party involved.
