See FAQs FAQs
What is a mortgage loan?
A mortgage loan is a contract, usually between a financial institution and a customer (an individual or legal person), under which the financial institution delivers funds to the customer, who repays these in the period and under the terms and conditions agreed; this includes repayment of the nominal value of the loan and the payment of interest.
Why are mortgage loans the most suitable way of buying a home?
When someone buys a home but does not have the funds to pay for it, they apply to a financial institution for a loan. This loan is usually arranged as a mortgage loan, as this guarantees to the entity that the loan instalments will be met through the property that is going to be acquired. In most cases - but not our Hipoteca SIN mortgage - the borrowers must also give personal guarantees.
Mortgage loans have the lowest interest rates of the loans offered by banks.
What do personal guarantee and mortgage collateral mean in a mortgage?
In any mortgage loan, except for our Hipoteca SIN mortgage, there is a personal guarantee from the borrowers and the property is used as collateral. In other words, if the customer does not meet their obligations, in addition to the possibility of losing the property, their liability and that of the other parties involved in the transaction will extend to all of their present and future assets.
How do they differ from personal loans?
Mortgage loans mean that the loan repayment are guaranteed through a mortgage. This mortgage allows the financial institution to foreclose the home on a preferential basis compared to any other creditor.
Personal loans are usually for purposes other than buying a home, such as general expenses, vehicles, furniture or appliances; in such cases the interest payments are exclusively a personal responsibility.
How do you compare one loan to another to decide which is best?
The interest rate is the best way to compare one loan with another. It may be variable, fixed or mixed. However, the customer also has to meet other expenses, such as arrangement, cancellation and appraisal fees, in addition to the interest rate.
Therefore, the best way to find the cheapest loan is to look at the APR (annual percentage rate), which includes all of the expenses of the loan.
The customer should use this information to assess the terms and conditions of the loan and decide which best meets their needs and the needs of their family.
What is the Euribor?
The Euro Interbank Offered Rate.
European banks lend money to each other for which they pay interest. These loans can have different terms. The average of the interest rates offered by European banks is calculated and this gives us the Euribor. However, only 44 of Europe's biggest banks - the main ones - are involved in the process.
The Euribor for each term is published daily at about 11 o'clock in the morning. Previously banks had to report their interest rates over the previous 24 hours, and the arithmetic mean of these rates was taken, eliminating the highest 15% and the lowest 15% to give the Euribor for each term.
What other types of insurance can be contracted in addition to the loan?
Mandatory insurance: Damage insurance (called home insurance). This covers the damage a house might suffer, so as to keep the property in good condition.
The law requires mortgaged properties to be insured against damages for their appraisal value, as determined by regulation (Art. 8. Law 2/1981, of 25 March, on the Regulation of the Mortgage Market).
Optional insurance: it is good idea to contract life insurance to cover the contingency of death or permanent or absolute disability of the borrower, so that the compensation can be used to repay the loan.
What amortisation method do you use for your mortgage loans?
There are several different mortgage repayment methods. The method applicable to the mortgage loans offered by Bankinter is the French repayment system, under which the loan is repaid in fixed monthly instalments, comprising capital and interest.
The interest is calculated based on the outstanding capital to be repaid, and therefore the proportion of the instalment that represents the payment of interest is higher during the early years of the mortgage repayment period.
What is mortgage subrogation?
Subrogation is the changing of one of the parties to a loan contract, whether the creditor (the financial institution) or the debtor (the customer).
Subrogation of the creditor happens when the borrower decides to change to another financial institution. There is a procedure for this, which gives the original bank the possibility to voluntarily improve the existing terms and conditions. When using this option, the debtor must also consider all of the terms and conditions offered by the new institution, particularly the arrangement fees.
Subrogation of the debtor occurs when ownership of a mortgaged property is transferred, and the buyer accepts the original terms and conditions, or the new conditions agreed, for repayment of the outstanding loan. This is not mandatory, as the buyer can ask to buy the house free of encumbrances, with the debtor repaying the mortgage.
What documentation do I need to submit for Bankinter to consider my mortgage?
The bank will now detail the documentation required to allow Bankinter to assess the solvency of the transaction, for both the applicants and any guarantors.

- An ID card/tax ID card or foreign-national residency card for the parties.

What is our variable-rate mortgage?
This is our traditional mortgage, referenced to the Euribor— one of the official rates of the mortgage market published monthly by the Banco de España—to which we will add a spread. So the instalment will vary at each interest rate review.
What is the maximum amount that will be available when I apply for a mortgage?
The maximum amount available will be related to the value of the property, with the value of the mortgaged property being understood to be the lower of the appraisal value or the purchase price.
Thus, the maximum loan you can apply for is:
- Up to 80% of the value of the mortgaged property if this is the customer/borrower's primary residence (either the purchase value or appraisal value, whichever is lower). For example, for a property that is the primary residence of the applicant with a value of €187,500, the maximum amount that may be applied for to finance this is €150,000.
- Up to 60% of the value of the mortgaged property in the case of second homes. Thus, €112,500 is the maximum financing that can be applied for for a property that constitutes a second home for the applicant valued at €187,500.
What are the combined sales you offer in your mortgages?
The bank offers a range of optional products and services in combination with the mortgage loan for the property. These increase the interest rate or spread, depending on whether it is a fixed- or variable-rate mortgage, if they are not contracted.

This example has been calculated on the assumption that the interest rates applicable after the first review will never be lower than the initial rate.

- Arrangement of home insurance for €100,000 for the structure and €30.000,00 for the content, with an estimated annual premium of €306.44. Renewal annual insurance.
-Appraisal costs: 249,56€.
The interest rate is subject to the condition that the following products be arranged with Bankinter:
- Salary Account, Business Account or Non-Salary Account (discount of 0.30 percentage points).

Compliance with discounts will be reviewed annually.
These products are optional for the customer, but if they are not arranged the rate for the fixed period and the spread for the variable period will be increased by the percentage points corresponding to the sum of each of the products not arranged. Accordingly, if none of the conditions are met: Variable APR: 6,31%. Monthly repayment during the first year: 775,28€. Monthly repayment during the remaining years: €970.83 and a final instalment of €968.36. Arrangement Fee: 500,00€. Total interest payable: €138,899.93. Interest rate for the first year: 3,80%. (12 months). Monthly repayments. After the first year, the interest rate will be variable and will be reviewed annually. Interest rate for the remaining yearly periods: 12-month Euribor (-4.073% BOE 02.09.2023) + a spread of 2.05%. Total repayment amount €294,973.49. Total cost: 144.973,49€. This variable APR has been calculated on the basis of taking out a €100,000.00 damage insurance policy for the mortgaged property, as required by law and which may be taken out with Bankinter or a different provider, with an estimated annual premium of €167.96, in addition to an annual maintenance fee of €45.00 for the current account required for collection of the repayments, the arrangement fee of €500.00 and appraisal costs of €249.56.
The monthly payments (French repayment system) are the result of raising the coefficient (1 + interest) to the power of the number of outstanding instalments in the transaction multiplied by the interest, divided by (1 + interest) raised to the power of the outstanding payments in the transaction, minus 1, all multiplied by the capital pending repayment ('interest' is understood to be the offered NIR divided by 12). The resulting instalment includes the amount corresponding to the interest (the result of dividing the interest rate by 12, multiplied by the outstanding principal) and the amount repayable (the result of subtracting the interest from the instalment).
The variable APRs have been calculated taking into account the following:
1. The variable APRs have been calculated based on the credit facility remaining in place for the agreed term and the borrower and the lender fulfilling their obligations under the terms and conditions agreed in the mortgage agreement.
2. For mortgage agreements with clauses that allow for adjustments to the debit rate and, where applicable, to the costs included in the variable APRs that are not quantifiable when the calculation is being made, the variable APRs will be calculated based on the premise that the debit rate and other costs will remain unchanged with regard to the level set at the time the agreement was signed.
3. The calculation has been made on the assumption that the benchmark rate and spread will not vary. Therefore, these variable APRs may vary as and when interest rates are reviewed and based also on the mortgage amount and term. These variable APRs have been calculated under the premise that there will be no partial or total cancellation during the time the credit facility is in place. The variable APRs do not include the costs that the customer/borrower would have to pay for any breach of their obligations pursuant to the agreement.
The mortgage is provided subject to the application being approved by Bankinter, S.A. This mortgage offer is subject to the condition that the borrowers have a total income of over €2,500 a month.
If the customer does not fulfil their obligations to the bank, in addition to potentially losing their home, their liability and the liability of any other parties involved in the loan will extend to all of their current and future assets.
Offer valid until 15/10/2023 or until reaching the total amount for the offer (750 million euros).
The loan amount may not exceed 80.00% of the lower of these two values: The property purchase value or appraisal value. For second homes, the maximum amount is 60.00%. The maximum mortgage term is 30 years, provided that none of the holders is over 75 years old at the end of the term.
