Examples of what kind of home you can afford
Carlos
Carlos, 31-years old, wants to become independent and is considering buying his first home.
Thirty-one-year-old Carlos wants to buy his first home and is exploring his mortgage options. Having saved €25,000, he is looking to finance 80% of the property's value with a 30-year mortgage. Bearing in mind that he needs to factor in at least an additional 10% for the expenses associated with the purchase, he calculates that he can aim for a home worth approximately €125,000.
María
After several years of renting, María has decided to buy her own home.
Over the years, she has saved €32,000, enough to make a down payment, and she is ready to say goodbye to renting.
Her goal is to find a property that comes within her
budget and meets her needs, making sure that the mortgage instalment does not compromise her financial stability, so she wants to spend a maximum of €550 a month. María is excited about this new stage and the possibility of building a future in her own home.
Lucía and Alberto
Newly-weds Lucía and Alberto are excited to start their life together and are looking for a new home where they can start a family.
They have a combined savings of €77,000 and a shared vision, and are ready to leave their current homes behind and settle in a place that reflects this new chapter in their lives. Both are civil servants with a salary of €2,550, so they are looking for a house that not
only suits their current needs, but is also a space where they can create memories and grow as a couple. Their goal is to keep their mortgage payments to no more than €1,100. With each visit to a property, their excitement grows at the possibility of finding
a home filled with love and happiness.

We answer your most frequently asked questions
How much can my mortgage cover?
As a general rule, the mortgage can cover up to 80% of the purchase price or the valuation (the lesser of the two) for a first residence. The financing percentages tend to be lower for second homes.
How much should my monthly mortgage expense be?
The maximum total debt-to-income ratio (mortgage, personal loan, etc.) is not recommended to exceed 35%.
What are the discounts and how can they benefit me?
At Banco Sabadell we offer some services (discounts) that help to lower your mortgage interest rate (APR). You can take out one or more, but the more services you take out, the lower your interest rate will be. The services that include discounts are: direct deposit of salary, taking out Life Insurance, Home Insurance and Payment Protection Insurance.
What documentation do I need to submit to apply for my mortgage?
- Your national identity document (DNI/NIF).
- Proof of other income, if you have it (rent, commissions, interest on accounts, overtime, etc.).
- The last 2 bills of your regular payments indicating outstanding balances (mortgages, personal loans, credit cards, alimony and maintenance payments, rent payments, other debts, etc.).
- Work history. You can request this through the Social Security website or by calling 901 502 050. If you are employed, submit your last income tax return and your last 2 payslips/pension receipts.
- If you are self-employed, you will need the tax return for the last 2 years and the quarterly income tax and VAT payments for the current year.
- If you are not a Banco Sabadell customer, we will need a bank statement for the last 6 months from your usual account (pay slips, main bills, etc.).
