For foreigners wishing to buy a property in Spain, there are a variety of different mortgages on offer in the country. Variable rate mortgages, which come with a changing rate of interest, are the most popular form, but fixed-rate mortgages are also available which come with a fixed level of interest.

As well as being provided by Spanish banks, mortgages are also provided by international banks. Mortgage lenders are quite free to establish the terms of the mortgages that they provide, meaning there is a lot of choice on offer in the market. For this reason, borrowers should always shop around considerably before choosing a lender.

The situation for foreigners wanting to get a mortgage is slightly different to that of the local residents. We would advise you that foreigners are unlikely to get as good a deal as residents and, as a rule, foreign buyers will not usually be able to borrow more than about 60% or 70% of the total property value. This is because foreign buyers represent a greater risk to the lenders. Finding a good mortgage broker, therefore, is almost essential in order to find the best deals.
