re you purchasing a property in Spain and do you need finance? To apply for a
mortgage in Spain is the most useable way to proceed. For this purpose our conveyancing Law firm in Marbella felt convenient to write some lines with regards to the new Spanish law that regulates credits to purchase properties.
MORTGAGE LAW IN SPAIN On 16th June 2019, the new Spanish regulatory law for real estate credit contracts entered into force, 5/2019 of March 15. We make a small approximation to the novelties that the new regulations bring us. Te new Spanish mortgage law is a partial transposition of Directive 2014/17/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of February 4, 2014, on credit agreements for consumers relating to residential immovable property and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 Text with EEA relevance Te mortgage law in Spain is partially developed by Royal Decree 309/2019, of April 26.

It will also cover those credits agreements whose purpose is to acquire or retain property rights over land or buildings built or to be built.

debtors, guarantors, of credits agreements that are secured by means of a mortgage or other right of guarantee on residential immovable property or whose purpose is to acquire or retain rights of property on land or buildings built or to be built.”
INTERVENING SUBJECTS Credit agreements must be granted by natural or legal persons that perform said activity in a professional manner and when the borrower, the guarantor is an end consumer. Tat is to say: Te borrower or consumer will in any case be a private individual, including the self-employed. Te creditor must be a professional, that is, both natural and legal person, but with professional dedication in the granting of credits agreements.
MORTGAGED OBJECT Spanish Credit agreements must have as guarantee on residential immovable properties, which would include storage rooms and garages.
NO RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT OF THIS LAW MORTGAGE IN SPAIN Before going into our next blog about the points that most interest may have, say that the new law in Spain will not be retroactive effect, that is, it will not apply to mortgage loans that exist before 16th June 2019, date of its entry into force.
