Temporary Accommodation in Switzerland: Your Bridge to Permanent Housing

When relocating to Switzerland, finding the right permanent home takes time—but your life can't wait. Our temporary accommodation service provides comfortable, fully-furnished solutions that bridge the gap between arrival and settling into your permanent Swiss residence.

The Critical Role of Temporary Housing in Your Relocation Journey

The Swiss rental market presents unique challenges for newcomers. With vacancy rates often below 1% in major cities, finding permanent housing typically takes 1-3 months. Meanwhile, you need a comfortable base from which to:

Begin your new professional role without housing stress
Explore neighborhoods before committing to a permanent location
Complete necessary registration and administrative procedures
Allow children to start school while you search for your ideal home
Avoid rushed decisions on permanent housing that you might later regret

"The temporary apartment Prime Relocation secured for us was crucial. It gave us time to understand Zurich's different neighborhoods before committing to our permanent home. This patience led us to a neighborhood we hadn't initially considered but that has proven perfect for our family." - The Muellers, relocated from Berlin
