Can you get a buy-to-let mortgage in Spain?

If you’re considering investing in property in Spain, it’s crucial to understand the mortgage options available, especially if you plan to generate rental income.

In Spain, investors typically apply for standard mortgages to finance property purchases, whether for personal use or rental purposes. Unlike some countries like the UK, specific buy-to-let mortgage products based on anticipated rental income are not commonly available.

Key Considerations

Standard Mortgages

You can obtain a standard mortgage to buy property in Spain. This type of mortgage allows you to rent out the property, either for long-term residential leases or short-term holiday rentals.

Financial Responsibility

It’s important to note that with a standard mortgage, you are responsible for making mortgage repayments regardless of whether the property is occupied and generating rental income.

Planning for Rental Income

Income Supplement

While rental income can supplement your mortgage payments, it’s advisable to have financial reserves to cover expenses during vacancies or unexpected downturns in rental income.

Legal and Tax Implications

Understand local regulations regarding rental income and property taxes in Spain. We can connect you to legal professionals to ensure compliance and optimise your investment strategy.
