Mortgage rates Spain: what fixed, variable and mixed actually cost right now

Mortgage rates Spain publishes online are often stale or apply only to residents. Here are the ranges from our own current bank survey — with and without the discounted (bonificado) rate — checked 07.09.2026.

In short

Fixed, variable or mixed?

Fixed gives full payment certainty, variable tracks Euríbor with no ceiling, and mixed combines a fixed initial period with a variable rate afterwards — currently the most-chosen structure.

What does the Spanish mortgage term "bonificado" mean?

A discounted rate in exchange for bundled products (current account, insurance) — worth up to about one percentage point. Weigh the products' running costs before you sign.

Residents vs non-residents?

The published ranges start the same, but non-residents typically get a lower loan-to-value (around 70% versus up to 80%) and a margin that depends on their profile.

What are current Spanish mortgage rates for non-residents?

From our own bank survey (checked 20.07.2026, reviewed quarterly): discounted fixed rates run 2.1 to 3.2 per cent, undiscounted fixed 2.6 to 3.9 per cent. Variable mortgages add a margin of 0.25 to 0.9 per cent on top of the Euribor 12M reference, currently 2.75 per cent. Mixed-rate mortgages carry a surcharge of 0.1 to 0.3 per cent over the fixed rate for the initial fixed period. The discount depends on bundling products such as a current account, life insurance and buildings insurance with the bank — those products carry their own running costs, which can offset part of the saving. Which combination is worthwhile depends on your situation: someone who needs the bundled products anyway benefits more than someone taking them only for the discount. We model both scenarios for you before you sign.

What the bonificación discount actually costs

The bundled products carry running costs that can partly or fully offset the rate discount. Whether the bonificación pays off depends on what those products cost in your case — we calculate that against the discount before you sign.

Typical bundled products: current account with the bank, life insurance, buildings insurance, sometimes an alarm system — typically two to four, depending on the bank.

Frequently asked

What is Euribor?
Euríbor (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) is the average interest rate at which major European banks lend to each other. It isn't a bank product — it's a published reference index. Spanish variable-rate mortgages and the post-fixed-period phase of mixed-rate mortgages are priced as Euríbor plus the bank's own margin, currently 2.95 % for the 12-month rate (monthly average August 2026).
What is the current Euríbor 12M, and why does it matter?
2.95 % (monthly average August 2026, source: Banco de España / EMMI). It is the reference index for every variable-rate and post-fixed-period mixed-rate mortgage in Spain — your rate is Euríbor plus the bank's margin, not a number the bank sets alone.
What does "bonificado" mean for the rate I actually pay?
Spanish banks offer a discounted rate in exchange for bundled products (a current account, life insurance, buildings insurance, sometimes an alarm system). The discount can be worth up to 1.0 % — about one percentage point. Those products carry their own running costs, which can partly offset the saving — worth calculating against the discount before signing, not assuming it's automatically worthwhile.
Fixed, variable or mixed — which is right for a non-resident?
Fixed gives full payment certainty for the entire term. Variable tracks Euríbor with no ceiling, suited to short holding periods or a strong intent to overpay. Mixed combines a fixed initial period (commonly 3, 5 or 10 years) with variable afterwards, and is currently the most-chosen structure — see our dedicated page on the mixed-rate mortgage for what happens once the fixed period ends.
Are rates the same for residents and non-residents?
The published rate ranges are the same starting point, but non-residents typically see a smaller maximum loan-to-value (around 70% versus up to 80% for residents) and the margin offered depends on creditworthiness, the property and what you bring to the bank beyond the mortgage itself.
