🏠 Spanish Mortgage for Non-Residents

At hipotecas.me, we help you secure your Spanish mortgage as a non-resident — even if you have already been rejected by a bank.

👉 We are not an automatic comparison tool.
We specialise in real mortgage approvals for foreign buyers and non-tax residents, including complex profiles.

Why do banks often reject non-resident mortgage applications?

It’s common to hear banks say:

  • “We only finance tax residents in Spain.”
  • “Maximum 60% financing.”
  • “We don’t work with foreign income.”

At hipotecas.me, we don’t make excuses.
We analyse your profile from a professional financial perspective and find a viable solution with banks that understand international clients.
