Are You Thinking About A Spanish Mortgage To Finance Your Property Purchase? We can help you…
If the answer is yes, it is important to find out much you can borrow and any associated fees, before you begin the search for your dream Spanish property. It is always logical to have a clear budget in mind before you begin, so not to waste any of your precious time.
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.
