You can forward this documentation to us either by email, fax or post.
We will also require:

- Duration of the loan
- Preferred maximum amount for monthly payments.
For your information the bank will always request that a provision of funds is in place in the client's bank account prior to the signing of the mortgage. We will provide you with a final breakdown for completion of all these costs together with the purchase costs.
The bank will also require a valuation of the property and a provision of funds to cover this.
Developer Mortgages
When purchasing a new property from a developer, the developer may offer the buyer the option of taking over an existing mortgage. We would recommend comparing this offer with offers available from the lending institutions in Spain, and we could advise you on the best option.
If you do wish to apply for a mortgage please bear in mind that, once it is approved, the offers expires after 3 months so you should not apply until 2 or 3 months before completion.
