Spanish Mortgage news from Europamortgages.com

The Spanish mortgage market is in a curious state right now. The Spanish mortgage market has always been a few years behind the more sophisticated and mature markets of the UK and US.

Generally, clients buying off-plan property have put in 20 or 30% deposits, and the most common mortgages available have been around 70%. In recent years the lenders had started to introduce more 80% loans, and also more flexible interest only terms etc. Since the credit crunch has taken hold though, the market has contracted significantly, and typical "best buy" Spanish mortgage terms and conditions are as follows;Loan to ValueAt the moment we can arrange 70% of valuation with 1 year of interest only, at a rate of Euribor +0.95%.
