Are You Thinking About A Spanish Mortgage To Finance Your Property Purchase? We can help you…

Spanish mortgages - As a non-resident, you can borrow up to a maximum of 70% of the value of the property that you are looking to purchase. There are a variety of mortgage lenders out there and, in order to find your way through all of the options, we strongly advise that you use a broker who specialises in Spanish mortgages. A broker will be able to answer all of your questions, run you through associated fees and provide you with a quote – A FREE service with absolutely no obligation on your part, until you proceed. We strongly advise that you speak to a Spanish Mortgage specialist at the start of the process. This will enable you to secure a mortgage agreement in principle (AIP), if you choose to go down the Spanish mortgage route to fund your purchase. The service is completely free of charge and provides you with a clear picture of the value of funds you will be able to borrow – in our experience, the process of searching for a property is much quicker and simpler when you know the exact budget that you are working with. Once you have obtained your mortgage agreement in principle and opened up a currency exchange account, you will be ready to progress once you land on that perfect Spanish property. |
Aside from obtaining a Spanish mortgage, there are other options with which you can finance your Spanish property purchase. For example, if you own a property in the UK, it may be possible to release equity from this property, or perhaps even downsize to a smaller property – thus releasing the funds that you require to purchase your dream Spanish property and removing the requirement for a Spanish mortgage. One of the advantages of going down this route is that you will then be a cash buyer, which can be extremely desirable when negotiating the purchase of your Spanish property – particularly if you are not the only interested party.
