Re mortgage your Spanish property

Before applying you must read the following very carefully.

Casahipoteca offers straight forward capital and repayment mortgages and interest only mortgages based on the Euribor. These products are also available as normal purchase mortgages. The maximum term is 30 years or up to age 80. The calculations for your monthly installments can be made through our mortgage calculator. Casahipoteca charges a broker fee of 2,5% (exclusive 16% IVA). Including all other costs such as notary, land registry, stamp duty and gestoria, you will pay 7% in costs that will be taken from the loan at completion. Partial repayment is always possible, often without a penalty. Most of our mortgages are offered by Spanish lenders. Our mortgages are available throughout Spain including all the islands.

Valuation

A valuation always needs to be carried out in order to determine the current property value. Our bank partners work with different accredited valuation companies and they will only accept valuations that are no older then 6 months. We have negotiated a fixed valuation fee of € 300,- to be paid up front. That doesn't mean that all houses will be valued for that amount because the standard fees are around 0,1% of the valuation exclusive 16% IVA. So if your house is worth 750.000 euros the valuation fee will be around € 750,- ex IVA. You only pay € 300,- up front and the extra costs will be deducted from the loan at completion.The house prices in Spain have dropped considerably so if you think your house is still worth what it was 2 years ago, you will probably be disappointed by the new valuation. To be on the safe side you need to subtract 20 to 30% of last years value.

Income and affordability

Casahipoteca offers full status mortgages, so you have to come up with all your paperwork and an experian report (www.experian.com). The maximum debt to income ratio is 35% (max. 35% of your nett income may be used for capital and repayment).

How to apply for this mortgage?

If all of the above is understood and you agree to pay all of the costs then you can apply through our website and an offer will be made. If the offer doesn't suit you, you can stop the process immediately. If you accept the offer you need to sign our service contract and pay €300,- for the valuation. You then you have to send us all your paperwork in digital format (*.jpg, *.pdf, *.doc, *.tif) and we will process your application.
