This month in our Spanish mortgage example series, we’ll be looking at a property valued at €125,000.
We often get questions about what finance is available to UK buyers and quite simply, there are many options. Our latest free brochure explains the most common finance assistance in Spain and the UK. You can request a copy of our finance brochure here >>.
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! These ultra-modern homes are less than a 10 minute drive from sandy beaches, and are just a short walk from local amenities such as shops and restaurants. They’re also conveniently located close to Murcia and Alicante airports.
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.
