Financing a detached house in Lloret de Mar – Living year-round with room for family and home office

A couple from Stuttgart, both working as IT project managers and predominantly from home, decided to move permanently to Spain. They were looking for a modern detached house in a quiet residential setting in Lloret de Mar with a garden, a double garage and enough room for two separate studies.

In short

What was this case about?

A couple from Stuttgart, both working as IT project managers and predominantly from home, decided to move permanently to Spain. They were looking for a modern detached house in a quiet residential setting in Lloret de Mar with a garden, a double garage and enough room for two separate studies.

Can home-office conversions be part of the financing?

As a rule the Spanish bank does not co-finance modernisation — it belongs in the overall plan: equity or raising capital against German property.

Why is not all of the equity used?

Many buyers want to preserve financial reserves and existing investments and secure their liquidity after the purchase too.

Property for sale in Lloret de Mar: more than a holiday resort

Lloret de Mar is often associated with tourism. In fact, the town has also developed into an attractive residential location in recent years. Away from the beach promenade there are quiet residential areas with detached houses, good infrastructure and short distances to schools, shops and medical care. For many German-speaking buyers, Lloret de Mar is therefore an interesting choice for a permanent centre of life.

Two home-office desks shaped the search for a house

A couple from Stuttgart, both working as IT project managers and predominantly from home, decided to move permanently to Spain. They were looking for a modern detached house in a quiet residential setting in Lloret de Mar with a garden, a double garage and enough room for two separate studies. The suitable property largely met the requirements but needed some technical and functional modernisation.

€850,000 total investment, item by item

  • Purchase price: 690.000 €
  • Additional costs: 82.800 €

  • Equity: 367.000 €
  • Financing required: 483.000 €

Securities accounts stay put, the house gets adapted

The buyers had equity from the sale of their previous apartment but did not want to liquidate their securities portfolios. At the same time, the house was to be adapted immediately after the acquisition to the requirements of permanent living and a modern working environment.

70 % financed, network and workrooms before moving in

Anyone moving their centre of life permanently to Spain and working remotely regularly often needs more than just a nice house. A stable digital infrastructure, functional work areas and contemporary living comfort should be planned before moving in.

The financing corresponded to 70 % of the purchase price; the overall plan reflected both the acquisition and all planned modernisation — covered from equity, not by the bank loan.

Two offices, house-wide network, kitchen and bathrooms

All intended measures were included in the overall plan from the outset — covered from equity, not by the bank loan:

  • fit-out of two fully equipped home-office rooms
  • structured network cabling throughout the house
  • installation of energy-efficient air conditioning
  • modernisation of the kitchen
  • renewal of the bathrooms
  • electric shading of the south side
  • custom-made fitted wardrobes and storage solutions

All work was carried out immediately after the purchase.

Workspaces ready on move-in day, assets stay flexible

The house could be occupied without a further building phase. Both buyers had professional workplaces for their remote activity and at the same time a long-term suitable home on the Costa Brava. Thanks to the financing, part of their assets also remained flexibly available.

Digital infrastructure belongs in the financing plan

A permanent move to Spain often also changes the requirements for the property. Anyone who works regularly from home should take digital infrastructure and functional work areas into account already in the financing planning. If all measures are planned from the start, a realistic overall calculation emerges.
