Perhaps you have already found your property. A finca that just feels right. A house that quietly says yes. That is the moment when many buyers ask themselves the same question: how does financing actually work here?
The short answer. It works. Foreigners finance property on Mallorca without detours. You only need to know what runs differently from home. And plan realistically.
How much does the bank finance?
Spanish banks are more cautious than you may be used to from Germany, Austria or Switzerland. As a non-resident you can expect financing of around 60 % to 70 % of the purchase price. You bring the rest yourself, plus purchase costs of roughly 10 % to 13 %.
That sounds like a lot of equity. It is. But it is honestly calculated and protects both sides.
What is different from home?
A few things run their own way here:
- The bank always has the property professionally valued
- What counts is usually the lower value between purchase price and appraisal
- Income and assets are examined thoroughly
It may feel strict at first. In practice, it makes sure nobody overreaches.
Interest rates and terms
Terms of 20 to 30 years are common. You can choose a fixed rate, a variable rate or a combination of both. Which one fits depends on a single question: do you want to plan long term or stay flexible?
Both are fine. Both are financeable. What matters is that the decision fits your life, not just a spreadsheet.
Which documents do you need?
Please prepare the following:
- Proof of income and tax assessments for the last two years
- Current bank statements and an overview of your assets
- A current Schufa credit report from Germany (or the equivalent from your country)
- Passport and NIE number
The clearer and more complete your documents are, the calmer the process runs.
Run the numbers before you talk to a bank
A look at the full picture is worth it before you contact any lender. How much equity do you really need? What will the monthly rate look like? What do the interest costs add up to over the term?
