The Swiss market is the tightest in Europe.

The “vacancy rate” is the share of homes actually up for rent. The lower it is, the fiercer the race.

1 / 1000*vacant homes in Zurich: 235 across the whole city (0.1% vacancy)
1 / 300*vacant homes in Geneva (0.34% vacancy)
99%*already occupied across Switzerland (vacancy has fallen for 5 years)
Dozensof applicants for a single listing in the cities

* Federal Statistical Office (FSO): count of vacant dwellings on 1 June 2025.

Four steps. We handle the rest.

We never copy listings: we detect them and link back to the source. Our value is speed on primary sources, not volume.

1

Your criteria, once

City or neighbourhood, max rent, number of rooms. It takes thirty seconds, and you can create as many searches as you want.

2

We watch day and night

Our engine continuously scans agencies, cooperatives and public sources, at a respectful pace. We fetch the listing at its source, often before the big portals.

3

You contact directly

Open the original listing, use the available contact details and send your own message.

Fast as a hunter. Honest as the Swiss.

For expats, international students and cross-border workers arriving in Switzerland without time to learn every local portal.

Speed first

We monitor the primary source, the agency itself, not just the big portals. You often see the listing before it reaches them.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does HelvetLoc do?

The Pass activates email alerts sent within minutes whenever a listing matches your criteria. You then open the original source and contact the advertiser yourself.

Do you copy the listings?

No. We detect a new listing and send you the direct link to the source. You apply to the agency as usual, just earlier.

Do you cover every property portal?

We don't scrape those portals (their terms forbid it). Our strength is elsewhere: being faster than them on primary sources, agencies and cooperatives.

Does the Pass renew automatically?

No. The Pass is a one-time payment for the selected duration, with no automatic renewal and no subscription to cancel.

Your next home won't wait for you.
