There is nothing quite as daunting as having your hopes dashed by the rocks of ignorance. The ignorance that is referred to here is the simple fact of “not knowing” all you need to before making a decision. A deeper understanding of Spanish mortgage costs will help you make the right decision. Although it may seem a little confusing to a beginner, we have tried to highlight the key points.

Spain is a beautiful, peaceful, and stress-free lifestyle that appeals to many. However, without knowing all there is to know about purchasing property in Spain, it can turn into quite a headache!

Spanish Mortgage costs include:

Property valuation: Spanish Mortgages require a property valuation which means that a certified valuation company will make an estimation of the value of the property before a mortgage can be taken on the property

Land registry fee: Before a Spanish Mortgage lender will lend money towards the purchase of the property, it must be ascertained if there are any outstanding debts owed against the property.

Opening Fee: Usually around 1% of the value of the property, this is the charged set fee for establishing a Spanish Mortgage.

Mortgage Insurance: When creating a Spanish Mortgage there are three types of insurance required. The first deals with the contents of the house and the house itself. The second is life insurance and the last is mortgage insurance. The first is self-explanatory and the last two are not necessarily mandatory but becomes important when negotiating the mortgage for the house.

Notary Fee: This is a charge for the clauses included in Spanish Mortgage and is based upon how many clauses there are

Land Registry Fee: The fee established by the Spanish Mortgage itself and is usually the same cost as registering the land itself, only it is included in the mortgage

Stamp Duty: Anywhere from .85% to 1.7% of the value of the Spanish Mortgage

Deed Arrangement Fee: This fee is for the deed to be inscribed in the local land registry to be certain that all matters of the Spanish Mortgage are correctly done

Early Cancellation Fee: A 1% fee based on the value of the Spanish Mortgage should the owner cancel the mortgage

Partial Cancellation Fee: Usually based on the amount of the Spanish Mortgage that is paid off early

Subrogation Fee: This fee is similar to the opening fee, but is one that the person who takes over a mortgage pays in lieu of the opening fee as in a new Spanish Mortgage, and also sets a lower rate for Notary, land taxes, and registry

Interest Payments: This is the part of the payment made to your Spanish Mortgage that is charged as a fee for the bank to carry the mortgage and is higher at the beginning of a Spanish Mortgage than at the end

Capital Repayment: This is the amount in the monthly payment that covers the actual cost of the house less the interest.

Do you want a sailing vacation in Mallorca and Menorca? Then you are in luck. The two beautiful islands have many harbors and ports to offer to its avid sailors from around the world. For instance, Menorca has the port of Mahon. It is also the island’s largest and capital city. On the other hand, Mallorca can offer the harbor of Palma City. The two places are rich in culture, tradition, and history. They were once occupied by the United Kingdom in 1708 and France in 1782. However, the Peace Treaty of Amiens in 1802 formalized the official transfer of Mallorca and Menorca to Spanish colony. Nevertheless, at present, the two islands still has the tastes of both Britain and France.

A sailing vacation in Mallorca and Menorca is not complete without the side trip. If you are an avid bird lover, the island of Mallorca is right for you. Every year, thousands of birds flock to Mallorca to nest and migrate. There are also several types of birds who are already in the island. These include the Marmora’s Warbler, Scoop Owls, Moustached Warbler, Audouin’s Gull, Eleonora’s Falcon, and the Black Vulture. These birds are considered to be rare and can only be found in Spain. Roughly around 200 species of birds called the island their home. The best place to watch birds is in Puerto Pollensa. This is because its area is near to Albufuera marsh. Aside from Puerto Pollensa, the northernmost region of Mallorca and Formentor’s sea cliffs are also perfect for bird watching. However, if you want your bird watching experience to be closer to the island’s capital, you can also try in Boquer valley.


For birdwatchers wishing to visit Mallorca, Puerto Pollensa makes the perfect base as it is close to the Albufuera marsh, the mountains in the north of the island and the seacliffs of Formentor. There are also several great birdwatching spots within walking distance of the town, including the Boquer valley which is great for migrants. if you come during the spring migration season (especially mid-April to mid-May) you’ll meet lots of other birdwatchers and get plenty of information on what’s about.

Mallorca has many sheltered coves and nice harbors which are well worth a visit, such as Andraitx, Pollensa and Alcudia. The coast of the ‘calas’ (’coves’) is to be found on the south-east coast of Mallorca. This includes Porto Colom which is the best natural harbor and anchorage in Mallorca and possibly in the whole of the Balearic Islands. Alternatively, visit the nature reserve of Cabrera Island (you need to have a special permission for this) then continue up the east coast of Mallorca and sail across to Menorca where you can visit the nice harbor of Mahon. Ibiza and Formentera are only a days sailing away. Ibiza town offering culture and great night life, contrasting with its close by island of Formentera, with its relaxed attitude and beautiful beaches.

A sailing vacation in Mallorca and Menorca is easy to find. Port of Mahon in Menorca is the island’s largest and capital city. On the other hand, the island of Mallorca, which is commonly spelled as “Majorca”, can also be used as an area port. In particular, many harbors in the city of Palma can be utilized. Aside from having the most conducive harbors, the two is also rich in culture, tradition, and history.

Jump in a taxi, hire car or bus and you can get far away from the popular south coast resorts which target the profitable 18-30’s market. From Palma, you can explore the varied countryside that the island has to offer. Fight your way past the tan-seeking tourists, and you can discover Gothic architecture, hilltop villages, olive groves and hidden beaches.

Little more than an hour’s drive from Palma and the Son Sant Joan International airport the Tramuntana mountain range plunges down to the north coast of the island and pine groves extend as far as the Mediterranean. These steep mountains surround and shelter Puerto Pollensa with its luxury yachts and colourful local fishing boats. Puerto Pollensa has been a tourist destination since the 1920’s so hotels on the sea front are not the concrete blocks that can be found in most other towns on the island. The town is little more than an hour’s drive from Palma and the Son Sant Joan International airport and is popular with families and middle aged couples looking for something more than the popular south coast resorts. You can find walks into the mountains where views back over the bay are stunning.

Alcudia on the north coast is also an easy drive from Palma. The original old town of Alcudia is just two miles inland and well worth a visit. Parts of the town date back to around 1300 and in the 2nd century the Romans made Alcudia the capital of the island. The clean sand of Alcudia Bay and variety of water sports make the town popular with families who have young children.


Should you want to escape even the quiet resorts of Mallorca then explore some of the beaches that are ‘off the beaten track’; Es Trenc is one of the best unspoilt beaches in Mallorca with no hotels just pine forests, the occasional wooden beach bar, miles of white sand and gorgeous turquoise water.

The best way to get around the island is by car or bike. [http://www.easycar.com/car-hire/location/Balerics.aspx/EN]Car hire in Mallorca is made simple with car hire companies based in Palma and at the Son Sant Joan International airport. If you’d rather use public transport, a regular bus service connects the airport with Palma, where you can get buses to the rest of the island.

With unattractive resort developments spoiling much of the coast it is refreshing to see some of the island’s natural beauty that hasn’t yet been lost to concrete.
