If you have a mortgage in Switzerland, you pay only the interest on the loan. Of course, you can make repayments, but it isn't the norm. And mortgage contracts are 1 to 5 years. Then you remortgage. You need 20% of the value of the house as a deposit, of which half can be simply guaranteed by your pension. (so you need 10% as capital).
We used to pay 2'800CHF for a reasonably sized house in an area not too bad, but not brilliant either. Most people live in apartments.
Currently pay ~2'000CHF a month mortgage, on a bigger, nicer house in a decent area.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Scary,
I can only speak for IT
you will be surprised that IT is paying more in Praha for employees than for example in Bristol
What you say was true for IT 12 or so years ago, today however, IT for a multinational in Praha is in most cases paying the same or more than the UK for employees
But please, stick with the myths they'll make sure the rabble don't come over.
