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.

Low interest rates

The Euribor, the main indicator for calculating mortgage interest rates in Spain, has been low for various years. Mortgage interest rates in Spain many times are lower than those applied in other countries, which undoubtedly favors buyers who have taken out mortgages over those who buy their home in cash. 

In fact, many clients have their funds well invested obtaining higher returns, it therefore makes it very attractive for all buyers to mortgage.

Tax optimization

When you invest in real estate in Spain, there are also tax implications to consider, especially in the high-end properties. Specifically, if you buy a property in Spain and its value exceeds a certain threshold, you will have to pay wealth tax every year, a tax assigned to the different Spanish regions that, in some parts double the European average.

Mortgages allow you to reduce the tax burden of Wealth Tax, Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax, as they are considered as a debt and can be deducted to reduce the taxpayer's net worth. Therefore, taking out a mortgage for the acquisition of a property in Spain has positive repercussions from a tax point of view. It is important the mortgage is in place at the time of purchase.

Securing a mortgage in Spain

Obtaining a mortgage in Spain for residents and non-residents can often become a long, complex, and sometimes fruitless process. You must provide a series of documentation to prove your level of solvency and wait for the bank to respond, which can take a very long time without ensuring a positive outcome. In addition, the offer may not fit your budget or needs.
