Hauseigentümerverband Basel-Stadt

Your powerful partner when it comes to your residential property

As an independent cooperative with over 100 years of history, the Basel-Stadt Homeowners' Association protects and promotes the interests of property owners in the public sphere and at the legislative level. To this end, it supports all efforts to preserve private property and promote the widespread distribution of house, land, and condominium ownership. On the other hand, the HEV Basel-Stadt provides services at its office in the valuation of real estate and in advising on all questions relating to real estate. The relevant forms and printed matter can also be obtained from the HEV Basel-Stadt.

Thanks to its approximately 6,000 members, HEV Basel-Stadt has a significant influence on the legislature, administration, and economy through its public relations work:

• Representation of interests at the cantonal level in the Grand Council
• Official contact for the authorities on issues relating to home ownership
• Representation in the state arbitration board for rental disputes

Representation in the cantonal building protection commission, the cantonal nature conservation commission, as well as in the administrative commission and the assessment commission of the Basel-Stadt building insurance company

• Publication of its own association newspaper, "der Hausbesitzer" (The Homeowner), which appears 10 times a year
• Launch of political proposals, e.g., the Basel-Stadt popular initiative "For a family-friendly inheritance tax."

The political interests of homeowners at the federal level are represented by the Swiss Homeowners Association, which has around 300,000 members (example: launch of the popular initiatives "Your own four walls thanks to building society savings" and "Secure housing in old age").
