Spanish mortgages for a Costa Blanca property

This month we will be highlighting these fantastic new apartments in Pilar de la Horadada, Alicante that have just been released!

They’re also conveniently located close to Murcia and Alicante airports.

 

Spanish mortgage on an apartment worth €125,000

 

Just like the UK, property purchases come with additional fees, therefore we have accounted for this in our example, the fees are around 14%.

Property price – €125,000

Estimated closing costs – €17,500 (including all taxes & bank mortgage set up fees approx 14%)

Therefore the total cost of purchase – €142,500


Spanish mortgage option 1

30% deposit value – €55,000 @ an exchange rate of 1.12 = GBP 49,107

Mortgage value (LTV) 70% (Max lending for non-Spanish tax residents from the EU) – €87,500

Cost per month over 25 years @ 2.00% interest rate – €374 @ an exchange rate of 1.12 = GBP 333.92

In summary, you could buy this property using a 70% mortgage with a deposit of €55,000 and monthly installments of €374 over 25 years.


Spanish mortgage option 2

40% deposit value – €67,500 @ an exchange rate of 1.12 = GBP 60,268

Mortgage value (LTV) 60% (Avg lending for non-Spanish tax residents from the EU) – €75,000

Cost per month over 25 years @ 2.00% interest rate – €320 @ an exchange rate of 1.12 = GBP 285.70

In summary, you could buy this property with a 60% mortgage using a deposit of €75,000 and monthly installments of €320 over 25 years.

Benefits of a Spanish mortgage

We understand that Spanish mortgages may seem difficult and you may be hesitant to consider one, however using finance to purchase your property may be a strategic move. Such benefits include:

  • Offsetting the low value of the £ Sterling – once the exchange rate improves, you can choose to pay off your mortgage at no fee.
  • Seen the home of your dreams? Don’t miss the chance to put an offer in on the property and use finance to purchase sooner.
