Ultra modern architecturally designed homes located near award winning sandy beaches have proved to be one of the most popular choices for Spanish properties. So, we’ve decided to base this month’s Spanish mortgage example on an exquisite newly built villa in Daya Vieja, Alicante, Valencia.
Daya Vieja, Alicante, Valencia property – Spanish mortgage example
This ‘eco-designed’, modern 3-bed villa incorporates ultra-modern architectural design features such as a private floodlit pool with featured waterfall. This can be overlooked from the bright open plan kitchen with breakfast bar- perfect for lazy sunny mornings.
This Spanish property also benefits from a fantastic location only 30 minutes from Alicante airport and around 10 minutes from Guardamar, a coastal city with fabulous sandy beaches, bars and restaurants and superb shopping centres.
This villa has been developed over two floors and features an extremely spacious living / dining room overlooking the partially tiled garden, 3 lovely double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms. One of the best aspects of this villa is the beautiful private sun terrace overlooking the pool which is attached to the master bedroom.
Why choose a Spanish mortgage?
Spanish mortgages can be a smart, strategic move if you need a little extra funding for your dream Spanish property. They can offer a number of advantages, including:
- Rental returns could help repay your mortgage fees by renting your property when it is not being used
- Allowing you to purchase your property sooner
- Allowing you to purchase a bigger home by increasing your budget
- Once exchange rates improve, you are able to pay off your mortgage with no penalties due to offsetting the current low value of the £ sterling

Spanish mortgage rate example, option 1
In our example, we have allowed for the additional fees such as taxes, community fees and the legal fees that occur when you buy a property, giving you a more realistic figure.
Property price – €205,000
Estimated closing costs including all taxes & bank mortgage set up fees at approximately 14% – €28,700
Therefore the total cost of purchase – €233,700
Funds needed to complete (including 35% deposit value & fees) – €100,450 at an exchange rate of 1.15 = GBP 87,348
Mortgage value (LTV) 65% – €133,250
Cost per month over 25 years at 2.10% interest rate – €575.46 at an exchange rate of 1.15 = GBP 500.40
