Which mortgage criteria handle Spanish banks?
Criteria / requirements for a mortgage in Spain
Generally, you can take a maximum of 35% of your total (combined) net income to total gross residential and/or credit expenses spend on a mortgage. Here, Spanish banks look at the charges of the Netherlands and Spain combined. This is also called your DTI (debt-to-income ratio). You can easily calculate this yourself via our free financing check.
In addition, the Spanish bank looks at the continuity of your income. You have to prove income for the past two years. Future income is not taken into account.
