So here's the deal :-
Spanish banks, having overlent in the past, have ended up with a shed load of property on their books
Partly it has to be said, due to the completely stupid way that mortgages work in Spain, so there is very little flexibilty when it comes to refinancing or trying to modify loan conditions
And they also have a huge stock of property from busted developers, that the banks had been happy to lend millions to in the past
So, they won't play ball if you want to change your loan or remortgage
Valuations are falling faster than Ronaldo when the wind blows
And we are lucky to get 60% loans against these dropping valuations
So, what are they doing with all their stock ?
Simple, offering the units with up to 100% finance at favourable terms
So they can shift their stock, whilst the rest of the market continues to flounder
How can anyone else be expected to buy a property from a private vendor, or a developer, when you can buy a cheaper unit, with better financing, direct from the bank ?
Unbelievable
Thanks for reading - send us an enquiry and we'll try and get you a worse deal than the banks will if you buy from them..........................
