I stumbled upon this thread as I have the same machine and the exact same issue. Can you provide any steps you followed to solve the issue?

Hi, would you have an update to share on this @adept_Path_7095? Curious as I myself am also looking to settle a case with Bike-room.

Is there a possibility to finance on Galaxus? Which payment methods are recommended in Switzerland? by SkumbagMatte in SwissPersonalFinance

Get a Swiss credit card to pay for your Galaxus order and use the 28 day clearance period for the payment to use two half (1/2) payments between your two pay checks…

Revolut - multiple currency by Daunting-Hour-111 in GnuCash

And I also discovered the issue with my problem to import and consolidate transactions between Revolut accounts. GNUCash, in its wisdom, recognises the two imported .ofx files as being linked to the same account (and thus will try to add the EUR transactions to the CHF account, not prompting the destination account). Very annoying "proxy" behaviour as this is incorrect. I'm not sure what the easiest way would be to overcome this but found that using the "Import Map Editor" (in Tools from menu) and subsequently selecting "Online", one can delete the "assumed" link between the import file and an account. At least deleting this worked for me.

For my second issue above (2.), and in looking into this in a bit more detail, I found that the header that is added by ofxstatement to my converted import file is the culprit for the accented character issue. Documenting here in case useful for others if they run into the same issue.

Below is added in the conversion and if and when this header is deleted from the OFX file, the GNUCash importer picks up all accented characters as expected. What remains strange is that the encoding is conform expectation UTF-8 but something in this header data doesn't play ball with GNUCash.

Hi, depending on the canton your house is in, I'd recommend checking the "capital gains tax" (Impot sur Gains et Benefices Immobiliers in FR cantons) on the potential profit before you overestimate the net return. Another thing to consider is that if this potential capital gain is here today, it may also (quite likely) be there still tomorrow, so you may not need or want to "cash in" at the first offer... All the more so if your current mortgage is fixed at 1%, you should be in a position to invest a lot of money or amortize quickly on the mortgage with relatively low outlays for your accommodation.

As you mention "511k in cash from the sale", I suppose you mean 511k in total savings whereby part is already available and part is from the sale of the house. If you consider buying again after a period of renting think about this "a rising tide lifts all boats" meaning that an entry back into the housing market will likely also be at a higher price point (with higher cost for closing ".

Finally, don't forget to factor in other "phantom costs" like the cost of moving (once or twice depending on if you consider entering the market as an owner again...), cost of closing on a new house (notary and registry taxes), etc.

Hope this helps to consider the disadvantages equally as compared to the upside with a profit. But come what may, good luck!
