Siegfried Perini Specialist for Spain & Portugal · since 2019
Fee & transparency

No fee without a completed deal

As an independent broker I work on a success basis — you only pay when I secure financing that you actually accept. The first consultation, bank comparison and application coordination cost you nothing as long as no deal is concluded.

Spain · mandatory for every buyer

No NIE, no property

The Spanish tax number for foreigners (NIE) is mandatory for every property purchase in Spain. I show you step by step how to apply for it — from the consulate to the notary.

Financing models

Variable, fixed or mixed — all three routes open

All three mortgage models are available in Spain and Portugal for non-residents too. Which route suits you depends on your risk appetite, investment horizon and the current market phase.

📊 Tipo Variable

Variable mortgage

The rate is linked to the Euribor (12-month index) and adjusted annually. If the Euribor falls, your payment falls. Low early-repayment penalty (max. 0.25 % in the first 3 years, 0 % thereafter).

Currently: Euribor ~2.82 % + bank margin · annual adjustment · low early-repayment penalty.

🔒 Tipo Fijo

Fixed mortgage

The rate stays constant for the whole term — independent of the Euribor. Maximum planning certainty. Terms up to 25 years.

Currently: 3.5–4.0 % fixed for 10 yrs · constant payment · no Euribor risk · contracts available in German.

⚖️ Tipo Mixto

Mixed mortgage

A fixed rate for the first 5–15 years, then variable (Euribor + margin). Planning certainty at the start, flexibility long term. In 2026 the most popular model among German buyers.

Currently: 2.8–3.2 % fixed entry for 3–10 years · variable thereafter · Euribor protection at the start.

LTV & equity

How much is financed — and what capital sources exist?

Maximum loan-to-value ratios (LTV) for non-residents differ by country. In addition, property owners in Germany have a further way to raise capital.

🇪🇸 Spain

70 % LTV (non-resident)

Spanish banks typically finance up to 70 % of the purchase price or the Tasación value (bank valuation) for non-residents — whichever of the two is lower always applies. The remaining 30 % plus roughly 10–13 % purchase costs (ITP, notary, land registry, lawyer, NIE) must be provided as equity.

🇵🇹 Portugal

80 % LTV (non-resident)

Portuguese banks finance up to 80 % of the purchase price for non-residents — one of the most attractive LTV ratios in southern Europe. The bank uses the bank value (Avaliação), which may differ from the purchase price. Purchase costs in Portugal: roughly 7–10 % (IMT, stamp duty, notary, land registry, NIF).

🇩🇪 Germany — second charge

80 % second-charge loan as an equity source

Anyone who owns a property in Germany can mortgage it up to 80 % as a second charge — even if it already carries a first loan. The capital raised serves as equity for the property purchase in Spain or Portugal. A sensible route without selling the German property.

* LTV ratios are guide values. The actual financing amount depends on creditworthiness, income, property value and the bank partner. The Tasación or Avaliação value can be below the purchase price — the bank always finances on the basis of the lower value. No binding financing commitment.
