Has anyone taken out a Spanish mortgage?  I was advised not to but am now wondering whether it would be a good idea as the mortgage rates are constantly going up here.

Thanks

Hi Everyone

I have just picked up on this again as I was going to buy an apartment a few months back but suddenly had problems with an unsettled work situation so I had to shelve it.  Now re-considering and wonder if someone could remind me of the costs I need to budget for on top of the price of the apartment.  From memory it is 10% for taxes but I can't remember if the solicitor's costs are on top of this.  Would appreciate a bit of guidance so I can make a quick appraisal and decision.

Glad to hear you are all so pleased with your purchases and things are going to plan.  It's probably getting quite busy there now that the children are on holiday.

Very best wishes

Sheila

I can only repeat the details I gave before (see two messages below yours).  My friends who live in Almoradi were the ones who recommended these people.

Hi John

Congratulations on the news that your apartment is ready,  That's dead on time isn't it?  I can understand that you are both excited and apprehensive.  Does that mean that your furniture will also be in or do you have to do that when you go?

Just to let you know that I am still considering buying.  I think I may have told you that part of my hesitation is that there is some uncertainty with my work situation but I am also in the throes of moving house in the UK.  So it's a lot going on at once!

Good luck again and I look forward to hearing about the apartment.

Kind regards

Sheila
