Mortgage
in Spain
Why is a mortgage the best option when you purchase a property in Spain?
The housing prices in Spain have been rising steadily since 2016, even during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last five years the increase has been of 16%. The National Statistics Institute data indicates that around 40,000 mortgages are signed each month in Spain, resulting in a high percentage of total sales. Due to the low interest rates and tax deductions, mortgaging when buying a property in Spain is the best option today.
A mortgage can reduce the Wealth Tax and Inheritance Tax
When you purchase a property in Spain, you should be aware that there are tax implications, especially for properties of a certain threshold, where in most cases you will have to pay Wealth Tax each year. In some areas of Spain Wealth Tax is more than double the European average!
Mortgages can allow you to reduce both the Wealth Tax and the Inheritance Tax, as they are considered a debt and reduce the taxpayer’s net worth. Therefore, obtaining a mortgage for the purchase of a property in Spain has positive repercussions from a tax point of view.
Obtain a higher return on investment
It makes sense to maintain liquidity and not tie up your money in one asset, investing your funds in other areas that generate higher returns. Experts recommend diversifying across different investments to mitigate your portfolio risk.
Mortgaging at the time of purchase will help you diversify your portfolio and maintain liquidity to invest in other types of assets. In Spain it is difficult to release equity and obtain a mortgage after you have purchased. Consequently, it is important to take this into account and mortgage at the time of purchase.
