Mortgages in Spain
All Spanish banks provide mortgages and are quite happy to do so. It pays to shop
around for a mortgage as interest rates and terms vary considerably depending on
the bank, the amount and the period of time. You can, of course get a mortgage from
a UK Bank or Building Society but it is easier and quicker to use a Spanish source
and or a Mortgage Broker.
Mortgages Fees
The fee for the valuation is approximately 300 euros but obviously varies according
to the size of the property. A search must also be made in the Land Register and
a certificate issued for the corresponding entry to check on the possible existence
of other mortgages or loans made against the property. If the home you are buying
is still under construction, the builder may require the cost of the property to
be paid in a series of payments. Most lenders can provide a mortgage that matches
these requirements subject to certain safeguards.
Financial institutions will offer you a choice of Mortgage Products which usually
include:
- Interest Only Mortgage whereby you only pay interest to your lender throughout the
mortgage term and your mortgage balance doesn't reduce. At the same time, you put
money into a separate investment which should grow and pay off the mortgage at the
end of the term. With this type of mortgage, it is your responsibility to make sure
an appropriate investment is taken out and maintained so that the funds are available
to pay off the mortgage by the end of the term.
- Endowment Mortgage - whereby every month or quarter you make two separate payments,
one for the interest on the loan, the other for the premium on the endowment policy.
- Capital Repayment Mortgage - whereby you make either monthly or quarterly payments
of interest and capital on the mortgage.
- During the early years, each monthly payment comprises mainly of interest. In later
years, more of the capital is paid off.
- You will generally be given a period of up to 20 years to repay your mortgage and
it is your responsibility to ensure that you have a suitable mortgage protection
policy to repay the loan if you die before the end of the mortgage term (often a
bank will require you to take out a mortgage protection policy).
You should also budget for taxes and fees when raising a mortgage. In general, you
can expect to pay approximately 3% percent of the property purchase price in associated
taxes and fees.
