Spanish Mortgages, Negotiated For You.

Spanish banks treat non-residents differently — worse rates, more paperwork, and offers that depend on who walks through their door. We negotiate simultaneously with multiple banks to secure the best terms for your profile, in English, end to end.

Why a Mortgage Specialist

The Spanish Mortgage Market Isn’t a Single Market

Same property, same buyer profile — radically different offers

Spanish banks operate with significant discretion when pricing mortgages. The exact same applicant can receive offers ranging from 2.7% to 4.2% fixed depending on which branch they visit, what relationship the bank has with the property’s region, and how the file is presented.

For non-residents, this volatility is amplified. Lower LTV ceilings (60–70% vs. 80% for residents), stricter income verification, currency considerations, and language barriers all play against the foreign buyer who walks into a single branch alone.

Our role is to make banks compete for your file. We help you to submit simultaneously to 5+ partner banks, present your profile in the most favorable way, and advise you on how to negotiate every clause — from the headline rate to the small print on linked products and early repayment penalties.

“In Spain, a mortgage isn’t a price tag — it’s a negotiation. The clients who pay the most are those who don’t know they could be negotiating in the first place.”

Our Process

From First Call to Funds Disbursed

A structured, parallel-process methodology designed for non-resident buyers — typically 4 to 8 weeks from start to disbursement.

01

Mortgage Profile Assessment

Free consultation to evaluate viability — income, country of residence, currency, assets, age, target property and price range.

02

Documentation Pack

We coordinate translation, apostille and bank-friendly formatting of tax returns, payslips, bank statements and asset proof.

03

Multi-Bank Submission

Simultaneous submission to 3–5 banks selected for your profile. Each receives the file presented in the most favorable framing.

04

Pre-Approval Comparison

Within 7–14 days you receive a side-by-side comparison: rate, LTV, term, fees, linked products and total cost over the life of the loan.

05

Term Negotiation

We use competing offers as leverage to push down rates, reduce fees and remove or downsize linked products before final commitment.

06

FEIN, Tasación & Notary

We coordinate the property valuation, FEIN delivery, the mandatory 10-day reflection period and notary signing — with PoA if needed.

07

Aligned Incentives

Independent of Banks. Paid by You.

We don’t disclose pricing publicly — every project is different and we discuss it transparently in your first call. But the principle is simple: our incentives are tied to you, not the lender.

01

No Bank Commissions

We never accept fees, commissions or kickbacks from banks for placing your mortgage. Most “free” mortgage brokers in Spain are paid by the bank you end up with — and that conflict shapes every recommendation they make.

02

Performance-Based Component

A meaningful part of our fee is tied to how favorable the final terms are versus the bank’s first offer. The harder we negotiate down, the more we earn — and the more you save over the life of your mortgage.

03

Long-Term Savings = Our Success

A 0.30% rate difference on a €500,000 mortgage equals more than €25,000 over 25 years. Our work is judged on total cost over the life of the loan — not just whether your file gets approved.

“In Spain, the cheapest mortgage broker is rarely the cheapest mortgage. Pay your advisor, not the bank’s commission.

Frequently Asked Questions

What International Borrowers Ask Us Most

Can non-residents really get a Spanish mortgage?

Yes — Spanish banks regularly lend to non-residents from the EU, UK, US, Canada, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. The conditions are stricter (lower LTV, more documentation) but with the right profile and the right bank, mortgages are very accessible.

What’s the maximum LTV for non-residents?

Most banks cap non-residents at 60–70% loan-to-value, vs. 80% for Spanish tax residents. The exact ceiling depends on your country, income type, currency, age and target property. In some cases (premium clients, certain banks) we have negotiated up to 75%.

What documents do I need to provide?

Typically: passport, NIE, last 2 years of tax returns, last 3–6 months of payslips (or business accounts if self-employed), 6–12 months of bank statements, and proof of additional assets. We coordinate translation and apostille where required.

What rates are currently available?

As of mid-2026, well-negotiated fixed rates for non-residents range between approximately 2.7% and 3.5% over 20–25 years. Variable and mixed rates can start lower but carry interest rate risk. We always present total cost over the life of the loan, not just the headline rate.

Can I get a mortgage if my income is in another currency?

Yes, but Spanish banks treat foreign-currency income with extra caution under EU mortgage directives. They often apply a haircut (e.g. consider only 70–80% of foreign-currency income) and require currency stress tests. We choose the right bank for your specific currency situation.

How long does the mortgage process take?

Typically 4 to 8 weeks from documentation pack to disbursement. Fast cases close in 4 weeks; complex profiles (US tax residents, multiple income sources, atypical assets) can take 8–10 weeks. We work in parallel with banks to compress the timeline.

Do I need to be in Spain to sign?

No. With a Power of Attorney (PoA) granted at a Spanish consulate or notarized in your country with apostille, we can sign on your behalf. Many of our clients complete their entire mortgage without traveling to Spain.

What is FEIN, FIPRE and the 10-day reflection period?

FIPRE is the bank’s pre-contractual information sheet. FEIN is the binding offer the bank delivers before signing. Spanish law requires a mandatory 10-day reflection period between FEIN delivery and notary signing — during which we review every clause with you and resolve any final issue.
