If
you require a mortgage then you can apply to a Spanish bank and they will
require evidence of income. If you are in receipt of a pension or other
income from your country of origin, then a certificate from your bank will
be sufficient. If you are a working resident you will need to produce your
last years tax return. The bank will send a valuer to the property
selected and you will receive a mortgage offer based upon the bank's
valuation. Normally the bank will give up to 80% on valuation. The process
will take approx. 2 weeks depending on the selected bank. Interlink
are working directly with
Banco de Andalucia, Unicaja and other leading banks that can offer not only preferential rates but also a personal,
professional service tailored to your particular needs, and in your
language.
Current
mortgage rates are around 3.45 - 4%. Mortgages are for a period of between 5
and 30 years, according to applicant's age.
If
you are a working resident in Spain you will be allowed to reclaim tax in
respect of your monthly mortgage repayments. The first year you can
reclaim 25% of your total repayment and 15% thereafter.
