Even though it is possible to get Spanish Remortgages it is rarely a good thing to do since the cost is going to outweigh any possible benefits from doing so. Should you require extra funds or need to move to interest only then re-mortgaging can help you achieve these objectives. So if you move loan while Euribor rates are dropping you may link yourself currently into a lower total rate but in fact have overall terms that are worse than your current lender. You should concentrate on the amount other than the Euribor and not the present gross rate that is cited here.

There are two ways of moving your mortgage

One is to subrogate or transfer existing loan to a new lender. Not all lenders will replace, but if they do so, you must meet, and in accordance with the procedure laid down by the Government to introduce legislation in 2006. Subrogation will help to reduce the significant cost re-locating by going around the mortgage tax, which is a cost that goes for all newly gained loan in Spain, and its equal to one.The lending will consist of 8%.

This tax may be avoided altogether if the new lender offer better interest rates or longer terms, and then informs his own bank via the notary that it needs to come up with identical terms within 20 days, or let you go. Extra cash out or any other features being provided do not constitute reasons for subrogation being allowed and therefore the mortgage deed tax saving,movement of the loan to interest only. While your bank can stop the subrogation process by matching the interest rate, it doesn’t have to make any other concessions. You may save on mortgage deed tax but you do have to pay the other required mortgage costs These will include a valuation fee, a bank arrangement fee and notary and land registry costs. The value will be around 2% of your borrowings, shall be paid by you or included with the loan, provided the rules permit.

Another way to re-mortgage is straight forward closure of one loan and the commencement of another. In this case there is no government enforced process, and you are free to leave your existing loans, but all costs, including mobile mortgage deed tax would apply. You can expect to pay somewhere in the range of four percent on your lending, but this also includes the costs from above the mortgage deed tax you will have to pay.

There are a couple of banks that will either assist with costs of moving loan or in one instance fully cover costs of subrogation,at lower loan to values from 60% to 65%.

These two loans provided by the only truly cost-effective ways to re-mortgage and interest only facilities and the possibility of extra cash to take a loan to value at its maximum.

You will have to show full income documentation to the lenders in Spain. There are currently no self certified loans to get that are going to be available, as well as no buy for your your mortgages either.

Be careful of Mortgage in Spain agents who don’t clarify the costs connected with re-mortgages, because they are unavoidable, in the final analysis will be deducted from the loan amount upon completion.
