i took out a mortgage on the property when i bought approx 80000 euro over 15 years at a fixed rate of 5.6% for the full term with solbank.i did not know much about mortgages in spain and went with this as i had a bank account with solbank and it seemed the easiest option but probably not the best deal. i have 12 years left ,As it appears to be very expensive to switch ,what cost is involved with paying the total amount off,or is it possible to go back to the bank to see if i can renegotiate a new deal ,i would not want to have to pay the set up charges again as they were extortionate and came as somewhat of a surprise.

I seem to recall that it will stipulate on the first page of the mortgage quote Solbank give out what the repayment charges are. Typically they are about 1% of capital outstanding as a charge for early repayment.

But also there is usually a permitted maximum amount that you can pay off without any charges being incurred. I think on my mortgage it is twenty thousand Euros a year. I guess this part doesn't really help as you want to cancel it out completely and you need a new mortgage to be able to pay the old one off.

Solbank are no different than any other bank. They want as much of your money that they can possibly get their hands on so sadly the time to negotiate the terms is before you sign the mortgage. After that they just behave like the rest--

Typical response:-

" I'd like to help you out!

Which way did you come in?"

Regards and good luck with the renegotiation.

REMORTGAGE IS NOT A BIG MARKET IN SPAIN OWING TO THE SWITCHING COSTS - CAN TRY SOLBANK TO SEE IF THEY WILL OFFER SOMETHING MORE COMPETITIVE BUT THE TIME TO HAVE DONE IT WOULD REALLY HAVE BEEN TWO YEARS AGO WHEN RATES WERE LOWER - NO REAL POINT IN SWITCHING TO ANOTHER LENDER AS IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE 7 YEARS TO RECOVER THE COST OF SWITCHING IF IT IS PURELY A BETTER RATE YOU ARE AFTER.

THERE ARE LENDERS NOW WITH 0% EARLY REPAYMENT CHARGE AND MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR OVER PAYMENT - THE MARKET IS SLOWLY CHANGING BUT THE DEFINITIVE WORD IS SLOWLY.

Its an old secret recipe that I was taught a long long time ago - and it works! Not sure if I can reveal all here as not all the ingredients readily available so might have to PM you with it

Yeah - its the best excuse to fall back on. Always drove my parents wild when they were telling me off to retort that that had done the same at my age!
