I have just been informed that some of the banks in Spain are misleading clients and potential clients regarding the interest rates on new mortgages.
Please beware, this is very important, particularly if you are considering taking over the builders mortgages.
It's in the small print and their initial promise of a "good deal" is not really as stated, new borrowers should be aware that the banks are applying a "minimum rate" into the deal.
For example, the mortgage offer comes out at Euribor + 0.75% looks good, 12 month Euribor today is 1.85% + 0.75% as stated, total 2.6%, sounds great huh? NO, because it is subject to a minimum rate of 4.75%!!! So Euribor + 0.75% does not exist unless Euribor rate is 4% Not such a great deal!
Please get your broker or your solicitor to look at the SMALL PRINT.
Please be careful!!
I got this information from my mortgage broker at La Vida Mortgages, Henry Slade, he is at henry@spanishmortgages.org.uk
