Below is a general guide to buying property in Spain using a mortgage. Numerous websites offer similar information although the vast majority are out of date. We ensure that the information we provide is as up to date as possible but the best advice is to contact us for personal advice in respect of your circumstances.
The lending criteria and earnings multiples quoted are the standard terms that are available. Our excellent relationships with our lending partners gives us more flexibility and scope for our clients, thus resulting in more competitive mortgage offers.
The standard borrowing is 70% of the valuation figure, although increasingly a number of lenders are now lending 80%. However, these lenders enforce a strict borrowing criteria. It is also possible to borrow a higher percentage if you were purchasing a property well below the lender valuation figure.
