There are good reasons to use a broker in the UK, and even more pertinent reasons in Spain :-
We cover the whole of market in Spain; Spanish Banks, Spanish Cajas, UK banks, Gibraltar banks, Scandinavian banks. There are a bewildering number of mortgage providers in Spain, many of them small regional lenders with a handful of branches.
Which Spanish mortgage lender would you choose? You can contact and deal with most lenders direct, but where do you start ?
The mortgage process in Spain is the same as in my home country. Er, no, I'm afraid it isn't.
There is a language barrier still, even if many Spanish banking staff do speak English, many more don't. And you may still have a problem "presenting" your application to them. We know exactly what is required and the best ways of making the mortgage application.
Different Spanish mortgage lenders have different methods of calculating whether or not you will qualify for their mortgages. These can vary considerably. From our experience in the market we can identify suitable lenders when you submit us an application form for a decision in principle.
Because we are based in Spain we can discuss your application face to face with the relevant decision makers at the lenders. Much easier than you trying to get through to the right person on the phone.
