When you begin the dream of buying a property in Ibiza, your financial profile is the key factor that determines what type of mortgage you can obtain. Banks evaluate your income stability, credit history, debt-to-income ratio, and available savings. If more than 35% of your net monthly income is already tied up in debt, banks may offer you less or even deny the loan. That’s why it’s essential to clearly assess your income, financial obligations, and your ability to provide part of the capital as a down payment.
Buying Smart: Aligning Expectations with Financial Reality
Buying a home is not just an investment—it’s a life decision. Buying smart means:
- Carefully reviewing your real capacity to handle a mortgage without compromising your quality of life.
- Simulating different financial scenarios: mortgages with various terms, interest rates, and down payments.
- Accounting for additional costs: taxes, notary, appraisal, and administrative fees, which represent between 8% and 12% of the purchase price in Ibiza.
This way, you can match your expectations—what you want—with what your financial situation allows—what’s feasible—avoiding unpleasant surprises and moving forward with confidence.
Know Your Mortgage Profile and Act with Confidence
Your mortgage profile includes factors such as:
- Job stability (employee, self-employed, investor).
- Nationality or residency (non-residents often receive up to 70% of the appraised value, while residents may get 80% or even 90%).
- A clean credit history and demonstrable solvency.
Having professional guidance from the start helps you strengthen your profile: reducing your debt ratio, saving at least 30% plus costs for the down payment, and preparing essential documents such as NIE, bank statements, or income declarations.
