Now it is an excellent moment to get a mortgage in Spain, the rates are sooooo good
If we take into consideration the EURIBOR (European interbank offered rate), it has been in negative since February 2016 and this trend has continued for the first months of 2018 as we can see in the graph below, with a -0.191value in February 2018.
In this moment funding is really cheap, so borrowing money now is very interesting.
If you are a foreign buyer, you should know that the average funding that you can get a mortgage in Spain from the Spanish financial entities is the 70% of the purchase value of the property or its appraisal value (the financial entity will use the lowest value), although there are no regulations prohibiting banks to grant mortgages in Spain over that 80%.
This bank policy implies that the buyer needs to have saved (at least) the 20% of the value of the property plus the expenses generated during the purchase. For further information click on /see/visit my post on:
