Spanish Mortgage for Non-Residents 2026: Rates, LTV, Costs & Calculator

Non-residents can still finance up to 60–70 % of a Spanish property in 2026, with fixed rates from ~3.5 % and tighter income-stress tests. Full breakdown of eligibility, costs, paperwork and a worked monthly-payment example, with our mortgage and purchase-costs calculators.

Can a non-resident still get a Spanish mortgage in 2026?

Yes. Despite tighter ECB conditions and the post-2019 regulatory framework (Ley 5/2019 de Crédito Inmobiliario), Spanish banks continue to lend to non-resident foreign buyers, with three structural conditions:

  1. Maximum LTV 60–70 % of the lower of price or bank valuation (residents typically get 80 %).
  2. Debt-to-income ratio ≤ 30–35 % of net monthly income, stressed at +3 % over the offered rate.
  3. Compulsory life and home insurance, often bundled to obtain the headline rate.
