Loan to Value
Many aspects of the mortgage marketplace have changed since the recent credit-crunch and Spain is no different. Spanish banks are once again lending to foreign nationals and the maximum loan to value (LTV) is 70%.
They can potentially finance deals above these levels by using a combination of products available, but this must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and generally can only be obtained by clients with previous experience of home ownership in Spain.
Rates and Term
Currently Spanish banks are only able to provide mortgages on a capital repayment basis and generally over a 20 – 30 year term. Rates do vary but most mortgages aimed at non resident applicants range from 1.5% to 3.75% *Correct as of 1.10.2019.
Many of their clients require mortgages to have a certain element of flexibility in order to pay down the mortgage without incurring heavy redemption penalties. FFA has access to a number of products, which allow clients to do this with a maximum charge of 0.5% of the amount repaid early. (E.g. €25.000 capital paid off = €175 administration fee to the lender).
Loan Amount
The minimum mortgage available is currently €40.000 and there is NO maximum mortgage limit which they can advise on. Lenders will require a credit report or certificate for all applicants from their country of residence.
They also offer mortgage and financial solutions in Spain for ‘offshore’ employees wishing to buy their dream home in the sun.
