4. COURSE AND PRINCIPLES OF SALES
OFCL buildings
Course and principles of sales:
I. Requirements for purchase offers
When real estate of the Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics (OFCL) is sold by public auction, the purchase offers must be submitted in writing and signed, and received within the deadline (postmark or email) by the designated service.
Only the offers received within the deadline and containing the following information will be considered:
-
Name and address of the interested buyer; a change of bidder after the first offer (e.g., exchange of a natural person for a legal person or vice versa) automatically leads to exclusion from the procedure;
-
Price (unambiguously identifiable, absolute amount, without reservation, without conditions, in the local currency, possibility of offering a lower or higher price than the indicative sales price);
-
Summary schedule for the transfer of profits and risks;
-
Information on the intended use or conversion;
-
Unconditional approval of the detailed sales procedure as well as the guidelines of the sales contract and this document "OFCL buildings - Course and principles of sales"; - legally valid signature.
II. Course of sales
If offers have been received within the deadline, the OFCL decides, in principle, within 30 days, whether to sell the property to the highest bidder, to hold a new round of bidding, or to keep the property in the OFCL's real estate portfolio.
The OFCL informs the interested buyers in writing of its decision.
The financing proof from a bank must be submitted with the first offer.
After the first offer and in the event of a second offer, all interested parties who have submitted an offer within the deadline are invited again.
Subsequently, only the bidders who participated in the previous offer are invited to the following offers.
The offers submitted during the new offers must meet the same formal requirements as the first offer.
The received offers are processed according to the procedures in force at the OFCL.
During the sales negotiations, it is prohibited to provide information about the offers that have been submitted.
If the offered price meets the expectations of the OFCL, the cantons and municipalities that have submitted an offer or expressed their interest in the sale have the opportunity to acquire the property at the best offered price (Art. 13 OILC).
The offers of interested private buyers are taken into account if the cantons and municipalities waive their right of pre-emption under Art. 13, para. 2, OILC.
The cantons and municipalities have 30 days to confirm their interest in writing to the OFCL.
After this deadline, the OFCL decides whether to sell the property to the highest bidder or to publish a new offer.
If not enough offers are received, the OFCL reserves the right to cancel the sale.
III. Conclusion of the contract
The final decision on the sale is only made after receipt of the following documents:
The OFCL reserves the right to demand a deposit of 20% within 10 days of the sales decision.
This amount will be deducted from the sales price when the sales contract is concluded.
If, due to the fault of the interested buyer, no sales contract can be concluded, this deposit will not be refunded (penalty).
All costs associated with the transfer of ownership, including transfer fees, are borne by the buyer and seller in accordance with cantonal customs.
The entry in the land register is made after the full payment of the agreed price or after obtaining an irrevocable payment guarantee from a Swiss bank before the authentication of the sales contract.
It is the buyer's responsibility to obtain the necessary building permits for the future use or conversion of the property.
He must also conclude the obligatory cantonal insurance for real estate and objects in good time.
The Swiss Confederation insures itself, which is why there is no insurance policy.
