Do you need a mortgage in Spain? What does it cost? Should you ask for a loan in your own country?
There are many factors to consider when applying for a mortgage or opening a bank account in Spain. Most banks have different terms and costs for their services so consider first when you need from your bank before looking into conditions. Each case is individual and different.
Most banks will lend you up to 70% of the lowest of either the valuation or the purchase price. This does not mean 70% of the total cost of purchase. Keep in mind that the taxes of purchase and bank charges are not included in this figure. The interest rates are normally based on either Euribor or Libor + the banks interest. Ask us, and we can advise you.
