Resident Mortgage: If you are a tax resident in Spain, you can request a mortgage of 80% of the property price.
Holiday Home (Second Home): If it is a holiday home, you can request a mortgage of up to 60-70% of the net property price.
Off-Plan Property: You can get a pre-approved mortgage at the time of booking. The client profile is updated every 4 months during construction. This speeds up the signing upon delivery of the property.

💡 Did you know that on average you need around 40% of your own contribution for purchase costs and additional costs in Spain (notary, registration, etc.)? It should be noted that the interest rates in all types of mortgages depend on the status and financial credibility of the applicant.
The rate changes with the total number of properties owned by the applicant, the general profile of the applicant, the residence status, products purchased from the bank and the response to the first offer from the bank. Also when buying a home with a mortgage, the valuation company will be chosen by the bank for the valuation of real estate in Spain.
It is therefore strongly recommended to seek professional help when applying for a mortgage. After choosing the type of mortgage, the next step is to draw up the necessary documents for the application.
