Spanish mortgage for a property
These new, contemporary 3 bed apartments in Orihuela-Costa, Alicante are a great steal! Choose between a 1st floor apartment with private rooftop solarium, or ground floor apartment with your own garden. The development offers proximity to all local amenities and is a close distance to the beach!
We’ve tried to keep this example as useful as possible, therefore we’ve included the approximate additional costs that come with a property purchase such as fees and taxes; this is typically around 16%.
Property price – €152,000
Estimated closing costs – €24,320 (including all taxes & bank mortgage set up fees approx 16%)
Therefore the total cost of purchase – €176,320
Spanish Mortgage Option 1
30% deposit value – €69,920 @ an exchange rate of 1.12 = GBP 62,428
Mortgage value (LTV) 70% (Max lending for non Spanish tax residents from the EU) – €106,400
Cost per month over 25 years @ 2.00% interest rate – €455 @ an exchange rate of 1.12 = GBP 407
In summary, with a 70% mortgage, you could buy this property using a deposit of €69,920 and then monthly installments of €455 over 25 years.
