If you're thinking of buying a property in Valencia, then it's usually advisable to have the property and the mortgage in the same currency.
Firstly, you don't have to worry about fluctuations in currency exchange.
Secondly, interest rates on Spanish mortgages are currently lower than those on UK mortgages.
So, if you take out a Spanish mortgage, your monthly interest payments will be lower.
The normal time to repay a mortgage in Spain used to be between 10 and 15 year. However, due to the recent increase in people wishing to buy Valencia homes, many banks are now offering 95% mortgages spread over 30 years.
In Spain the maximum age to take out a mortgage is 70, so if you want to spread the mortgage over 30 years (and you're over forty), you'll need to buy the property with someone under forty.
Once you've found that property you're looking for it will take between 4 - 5 weeks (sometimes shorter) to arrange the mortgage.
