If you’re considering buying a property in Spain, you might find yourself in need of a Spanish mortgage from a foreign bank. While this may seem intimidating, it can be manageable as long as you conduct thorough research before making any commitments.
Traditionally, variable rate mortgages were prevalent in Spain. However, fixed rate mortgages with extended terms have become increasingly popular in recent years, providing greater stability to borrowers.
The amount you can borrow will vary depending on your individual circumstances. For non-residents, the average loan-to-value ratio is typically around 60-70% of the property value, spread over 25-30 years. Residents of Spain who pay taxes and reside in the country may qualify for larger loans over longer terms. However, eligibility ultimately hinges on individual factors.
Through our extensive experience, we’ve learned the importance of initiating your Spanish mortgage research early in your journey toward homeownership in Spain. Too often, we’ve witnessed buyers discovering their dream property only to lose it due to inadequate funding preparation.
As you embark on the exciting journey of exploring properties in Spain, it’s ideal to be ready to make an offer should you find your ideal home. Having secured funding in place will not only enhance your experience but also provide the financial confidence to proceed with offers and deposits promptly.
