In short

Can non-residents get a mortgage in Mallorca?

Yes. Non-resident mortgages on Mallorca property are widely available to around 65% LTV over terms up to 25 years. Palma apartments, Son Vida villas and rural fincas are all financeable, though rural and heritage assets are valued more conservatively.

  • Plan for a 35–40% deposit plus around 10–12% in taxes and costs.
  • Fincas and rustic land often attract lower LTVs and longer valuation timelines.
  • Holiday-let income is only counted by a minority of lenders and usually discounted.
  • Bridging is frequently used for island purchases with tight completion deadlines.

Methodology and assumptions

  • Figures are compiled by Clifton International specialists from live lender term sheets, indicative quotes and completed transactions arranged over the preceding 12 months.
  • Rates and costs are stated as ranges rather than a single number because pricing is set case-by-case on borrower profile, residency, asset type, location and loan-to-value.
  • Timelines assume a complete document file from the outset; valuation, legal capacity and (in Spain) NIE and notary availability drive the critical path.
  • Costs exclude any lender, broker or third-party fees not stated on the page, and exclude currency movement between agreement and drawdown.
  • Figures are reviewed monthly and re-checked against lender pricing whenever a material market change occurs.

Frequently asked

Questions from clients

Can non-residents get a mortgage in Mallorca?

Yes. Non-resident buyers (US, UAE, UK and European) can access mortgages on Mallorca property, typically up to 60–65% LTV via Spanish and international lenders.

What's the deposit and cost to buy in Mallorca?

Plan for a 35–40% cash deposit plus c.10–12% in purchase costs — ITP transfer tax, notary, registry and legal fees.

Do lenders finance rural fincas and Tramuntana properties?

Yes, though rural, listed or unusual properties (fincas, agroturismos, Serra de Tramuntana estates) may require specialist private-bank lenders.

Is bridging finance available on Mallorca property?

Yes. Short-term bridging is regularly arranged against Mallorca assets for auction, off-market or refurbishment purchases, typically for 6–24 months.

Can I borrow against a prime Puerto Andratx or Deià villa?

Yes. Prime coastal villas in Puerto Andratx, Deià, Valldemossa and Pollença are strong lender collateral, though very high-value estates often sit with private banks.

Are sterling or multi-currency loans available?

Yes — selected international lenders and private banks will lend in GBP or offer multi-currency facilities against Mallorca property.

I'm self-employed or a company director — can I still get a Mallorca mortgage?

Yes. Spanish and international lenders typically want 2–3 years of accounts, SA302s or tax returns; company directors can combine salary, dividends and retained profits, and private banks will lend against wealth or asset-backed income where earned income is complex.

Is there a maximum age for borrowers on a Mallorca mortgage?

Most Spanish retail lenders require the mortgage to end by age 70–75; private banks and international lenders can extend to age 80, and interest-only structures are available for older borrowers with strong assets.

Are Mallorca mortgages usually fixed or variable rate?

Both. Long-dated fixed rates, variable rates linked to a benchmark, and mixed fixed-then-variable products are all available to non-residents — we compare the whole market against your income profile and holding period. Current pricing is provided on enquiry.

How long does a Mallorca mortgage take from application to completion?

Plan for 8–14 weeks from full application to notary, subject to a clean valuation, title and NIE. Bridging can complete faster — typically 2–4 weeks once due diligence is underway.

What exit strategies do bridging lenders accept on Mallorca property?

The three most common exits are refinance onto a long-term Spanish mortgage, sale of another asset (often a home-country property in the UK, US or elsewhere), or sale of the Mallorca property itself once refurbished, repositioned or short-term let.

What are typical bridging rates and fees on Mallorca property?

Non-regulated bridging on Spanish property is priced case-by-case, based on LTV, location, borrower profile and the strength of the exit. Expect a monthly interest cost plus an arrangement fee, legal and valuation costs — we provide indicative pricing after a short call.

Can I remortgage or release equity from an existing Mallorca property?

Yes. Non-resident remortgages and equity-release refinances are available up to 60–65% LTV — commonly used to cut rate, raise capital for another purchase, or restructure onto interest-only or a longer term.

Do I need an NIE number and Spanish bank account to buy in Mallorca?

Yes — both are required to sign at notary and drawdown a Spanish mortgage. We coordinate NIE, bank account opening, lawyer engagement and FX alongside the finance so timelines stay aligned.

Before you apply

What documents do you need for a Spanish mortgage?

Identity and NIE, two years of income evidence, six months of bank statements, source of wealth and the property paperwork — our free checklist sets out every document Spanish lenders ask international buyers for, by applicant profile.

Currency exchange

Your mortgage covers part of the price. Your currency covers the rest.

Most non-resident buyers fund the deposit, taxes and fees from sterling or dollars. A 5% move in GBP/EUR between the arras contract and the notary can add thousands to your euro cost — we introduce you to a specialist currency partner who can fix your rate early.

  • Forward contracts to fix your euro cost from the reservation to completion
  • Typically much tighter margins than a high-street bank transfer
  • Timed around your arras deposit, notary date and mortgage release

Clifton introduces clients to a specialist currency partner and does not hold, convert or transfer client funds.
