What do I need to know about a mortgage?
A mortgage, according to the definition of the Bank of Spain, is a mortgage loan whose payment is guaranteed by the value of a property. That is to say, it is a credit but guaranteed by the house that is going to be bought.
It is a good time to review some concepts that will influence the mortgage that the bank will grant us:
Have 20% of the value of the home: once we have found the flat or house that we like, we have to have 20% of its value, since as a general rule financial institutions only grant 80% of their worth.
80% of the appraisal value or the sale price: as we have mentioned, banks usually grant 80% of the lower value between the appraisal price and the sale price of the property.
Dedicate a third (30%) of the income to the mortgage payment: usually, banks take into account that the mortgaged party will only dedicate around a third of their monthly income to the mortgage payment. For more information visit First time buyer UK.
What is a young mortgage?
Although we have talked about the general characteristics of mortgages, most banks adopt the conditions of their mortgage loans to the profile of young people, offering a product adapted to their needs.
Some of the characteristics of mortgages for young people are longer terms of the mortgage, which can reach 40 years.
