Thanks to our network of local partners, we get the best mortgage rates in Spain if you want to finance your home in Spain. For nearly all of 2022, we told you, mortgage rates were on huge sale, as inflation started to spike and long-term rates stayed low due to the European central bank intervention.

To know the last levels of the Spanish mortgage rates, you need to start with the real data: the data of the latest mortgages issued in Spain. This will help you to know what are the best Spanish mortgage rates available right now. Of course, don’t forget, if you are a foreigner you have to remember that as your assets are mainly abroad, your rate should be different than the one reported here.

  3. Calculate the cost of your Spanish mortgage

    Check our ultimate Spanish mortgage calculator.

    To help you out, we have created an easy-to-use table of the monthly repayments depending on the amount you want to take for a mortgage. If you want to go deeper into details, use our calculator to fine-tune your mortgage to your situation and you will find out what would be your monthly payments, mortgage schedule,…

     

    What is the cost of a €100,000 mortgage over 10 years?

    If you want to go into the details, here is a calculation example we did:

    As you will see, if you take a mortgage of €100,000 for 10 years with a rate of 3.5%, your monthly payment to reimburse your mortgage will be €989.

    Thanks to our Spanish mortgage rate calculator, you can change any number and calculate what would be your situation.

  4. Buy to let in Spain?

    If you are about to invest in Spain, it is always interesting to compare the financing conditions with your returns prospects, check our last article on that subject:

    What return will you make on your Spanish Property investment in 2023? If you see your property investment in Spain as an investment, adding some financing (without being crazy) will increase your return and decrease your costs.

     

  5. Spanish mortgage rates for non-residents

    As a non-resident, you can take a mortgage to finance your second home or your investment. Of course, as your assets won’t be based in Spain, the bank will need warranties and won’t allow a loan to value more than 70% in general. The Loan to value is the amount of mortgage you can get divided by the value of your property before tax, but this % is only for good inquiry. Don’t hesitate to ask for a free quote from our mortgage broker, he knows perfectly how it works and which Spanish banks love foreigners.

     

  6. Should I take a mortgage with fixed or variable rates?

    Fixed-rate mortgages and variable-rate mortgages are the two main categories of mortgages you can pick. Of course, there are many other possibilities between the two.

     

    • Why would you take a fixed-rate mortgage? A fixed-rate mortgage has the advantage that whatever the market conditions will do in the future, it will remain the same. To get that advantage, you will on average pay a higher rate than on a variable-rate mortgage, for instance, as of December 2023, mortgages with variable rates were issued at rates of 3.07% while those with fixed rates were issued with 3.54% for an average length of 24 years.
    • Why would you take a mortgage with a variable rate? It could be because it is cheaper and because you don’t see inflation or rates going higher or because you are comfortable financially and can face higher rates. Another reason for variable rates to be cheaper is that for the banks issuing them, it matches their sources of funds (savings accounts).

     

    To sum up, if you want safety, take a fixed-rate mortgage. If you see inflation spiking or interest rates going higher (in general due to a strong economy) you could as well go for a fixed-rate mortgage. Of course, the longer your mortgage is the higher your risk will be.
    Don’t hesitate to ask your Spanish mortgage broker for pricing with both and compare both offers.

     

    Inflation update since the start of 2023: After the big inflation spike of 2022 around the world and in Spain, inflation in Spain is moderating finally to +3.5% as of September 2023. We continue to see that while two years ago mortgages were initiated with variable rates, the trend changed clearly and the majority of mortgages are issued with fixed rates. We kept telling you in 2022, to lock in those crazy long-term rates levels… remember our chart:

    Maybe some people see a real risk of inflation staying high, which in turn should increase the variable rates. Since June 2023, we still see the fixed rates as leading the mortgage initiations but we are going back towards a 50/50 split between variable and fixed rates. Check our interactive chart on that.

  7. How do you get the best mortgage rates in Spain?

    You are about to buy a nice second home in Spain. Do you want to know how to get the best mortgage rates on your Spanish property? Even as a foreigner?
    Check our detailed paper on this subject and follow the link or listen to our 2 minutes video on how to apply for your mortgage up to the end and get all our tips to get the best rates:

    You have to ask yourself this question: What is the ideal customer for a bank? The bank will take a risk, the risk of not being repaid and in this case, the bank will need to take legal action to control your property and will sell it afterwards on the market. We saw what happened after the financial crisis of 2008: thousands of properties finished in the hands of the banks as owners couldn’t pay their mortgages.

    The ideal customer for a bank

    • has a good professional profile: he is employed and has a stable nice income stream,
    • has a good credit report, he does not have too much debt vs. his income,
    • can afford to have debts: his debt to income ratio is under 35 %, which means that his monthly net income is 3 times bigger than his monthly debt repayments,
    • the property has a good resale value:
      1. the property price is correct vs. the market
      2. there is demand in the market for such a property
    • is coming from OECD countries, as you know, with anti-laundering laws that came into effect all over Europe, it is challenging for banks to give a loan to residents of certain countries. Of course, if you are a resident of the European Union, it will be the easiest.

     

    381,560 mortgages issued in Spain over 2023

    2022 was a record year for mortgage rates in Spain: 464,000 credits were issued. Even stronger than 2021 which was already strong. So, in 2023, with the rise of interest rates the number of mortgages decreased by 18% while at the same time, the number of transactions decreased by 19% (from 734,000 transactions in 2022 to 596,000 transactions in 2023).

    A healthy market: Only 64% of properties are bought with a mortgage (vs 63% in 2022). In our opinion, the market is not over-leveraged. Have a quick look at the table for statistics since 2015. Yes, we are far from the high-leverage situation we had in 2007.
