Spanish Mortgages - Rates
VARIABLE (5%),
DISCOUNTED (4.8%),
AND FIXED (5.4%) RATES AVAILABLE
Variable interest rate mortgages in Spain work very much like tracker mortgages in the UK.
For the term of the mortgage the interest rate will be based on a fixed margin above the Euribor* index. This fixed margin is typically between 1 and 1.5% depending on the lender, however they can be as low as 0.75 - 0.95%.
Bank margins that you see quoted lower than this will be highly unlikely for most applicants; we can offer margins of between 0 - 0.25 % however we are very realistic about the likelihood of such a proposition and strongly advise you to ask one of our Finance Consultants to calculate whether such a low margin would be available on your purchase/in your circumstances before assuming that this is the case.
A typical variable rate (Euribor + bank margin) is currently 5% which is a great saving compared to current typical UK interest rates of 6-7%.
Some banks will offer an introductory discounted rate fixed for the first 6-12 months of the mortgage before the rate becomes variable. These initial rates are normally somewhere in the region of 4.8%.
Fixed interest rate mortgages are also available in Spain but these rates tend to start higher, at normally 5.4% depending on the type of mortgage required.
For more information on the rates that would be available to you please contact our Spanish mortgage team now on 0845 400 8000 or by completing this enquiry form.
*EURIBOR stands for the Euro Inter Bank Offered Rate. This is the rate at which European banks can borrow from each other for a set time period - 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Most Spanish lenders choose to use the Euribor 12 month index as their base rate although one or two base their rate on the Euribor 1 month index. The Euribor 1 month is the lowest base rate, 3 month is slightly higher, 6 month higher again and 12 month the highest of them all.

One last thing to bear in mind….
Please think carefully before securing any debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it.
When securing a debt against your foreign property please remember that:
- your foreign property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on any mortgage or loan secured on it.
- changes in the exchange rate may increase the sterling equivalent of your debt if taken in another currency.
For all mortgages and loans, irrespective of their location, please be sure that you can afford the repayments before entering into any credit agreement.
The figures and information quoted on this site are believed to be correct at the time of issue and are subject to change without notice. Any quotation supplied is NOT an offer of a mortgage.

Please be aware that it is a criminal offence to give misleading or incorrect information in connection with a loan application. Specific actions may be taken to prevent fraud.
