GET A MORTGAGE IN SPAIN
With the EURIBOR (the most common rate for calculating a mortgage) being at the current rate, getting a mortgage now makes financial sense. Getting a mortgage in the local currency compares rather favourably against the rates offered in the UK . It also saves you from currency fluctuations.
With the current increase in people taking out mortgages here, the banks have been forced to compete for business and so therefore you can a better “deal” than in the UK. Here in Villas Valencia, we can help you find not only the best rate but also the most suitable length of term. On average, banks offer 60-80% of the value of the property.
Speaking Spanish is not essential, as we´ll put you in touch with English speaking banks!
