How long does it take to sign for a mortgage?
It can vary: from 25 days and upwards. It particularly depends on when the personal documentation and paperwork for the property are submitted.
The mortgage process is completed in 3 stages:
- Personal documentation: in general, you will be asked to provide proof of income, employment history report and personal income tax return.
- Property documentation: the land registry report and valuation (appraisal). The valuation may be arranged by the customer or requested through the bank.
- Signing the mortgage: by law, 2 visits must be made to the notary's office. Plus, a minimum period of 11 days is required from the date on which your mortgage is approved until you sign at the notary's office.
How many holders can the mortgage have?
Up to two holders per mortgage loan.
What is the minimum and maximum amount you can apply for?
The maximum amount depends on three factors:
- Percentage of financing: it is possible to apply for up to 80% of financing for a primary home and 70% of a second residence. This percentage will be applied to the lowest of the following two amounts: the valuation price or purchase price.
- Ability to meet payments: the monthly mortgage payment plus other expenses must not exceed 40% of your monthly net income.
- Mortgage term, which will also determine the monthly mortage payment. The age of the youngest of the applicants plus the mortgage term cannot exceed 75 years.
This information is general and, of course, exceptions always apply.
The purpose of these three criteria is to ensure you can meet your mortage payment obligations as well as other fixed expenses throughout the entire mortgage term.

2 The Variable APR has been calculated for a representative example of a total mortgage loan of €100,000 and a term of 25 years, to be repaid in 300 monthly payments, and under the assumption that the mortgage agreement shall be in effect for the agreed period of time and that Openbank and the applicant will fulfil their obligations under the conditions stipulated in the contract. Furthermore, the following has been considered for the calculation, to meet the discount conditions: (i) home insurance marketed by Openbank S.A, the Linked Bancassurance Operator, based on an estimated premium of €153.79 euros on a 100 m2 property located in Madrid, with a total value of €87,800.00 euros and a contents value of €22,000.00 euros (the premium for the first year was taken as a reference. Insurance premiums corresponding to the following annuities will be updated on an annual basis, as set forth in the individual terms of the applicable policy); (ii) life insurance sold through Open Bank, S.A., Linked Bancassurance Operator, for a 36-year-old holder, who has insured 100% of the loan amount, with an estimated annual premium of €250 (taking the first year premium as the benchmark. The insurance premiums will be updated annually in following years. This amount will vary depending on the age of the customer, the outstanding capital and the related coverage and services). - Home and life insurance are optional, but taking out these policies gives you more beneficial conditions.
The Variable APR indicated includes the valuation amount. The estimated charges for this item are €314.60 (including VAT, and any applicable IGIC - Impuesto General Indirecto Canario [General Indirect Tax in the Canary Islands] or IPSI - Impuesto sobre la Producción, los Servicios y la Importación [Tax on Production, Services and Imports in Ceuta and Melilla]).
If you do not meet the discount conditions indicated in (1), the first 3 monthly payments would be €409.40, followed by 9 monthly payments of €438.34. Subsequently, the variable period in line with the 12-month Euribor published in September 2022 (1.249 %)+1.30% NIR would begin, which would consist of 288 monthly instalments of €450.36, the total cost of €35,298.50 and the total amount payable on the mortgage of €135,298.50. Variable APR: 2.57%.
If you meet the discount conditions set out in (1), there would be 12 monthly payments of €409.40, after which the variable period in line with the 12-month Euribor published in September 2022 (1.249%)+ 0.70% would begin, which would consist of 288 monthly payments of €420.93, the total cost of €36,549.99 and the total amount payable on the mortgage of €136,549.99. Variable APR: 2.67%.
The variable APR is provided for information purposes and is calculated on the theoretical assumption that the initial benchmark interest rate remains constant, according to the 12-month Euribor published in September 2022 (1.249%). This variable APR has been calculated on the assumption that the benchmarks do not vary; therefore, this variable APR will be updated in line with interest rate revisions on a semi-annual basis.
The total amount payable in the representative examples includes: principal, interest and the home and life insurance premiums (the latters apply if discount conditions are met).
The total cost payable indicated in the representative examples includes all expenses, including interest, fees, taxes, and any other expenses that you have to pay in relation to the loan contract and that are known to Openbank.
These variable APR calculations, amount, monthly payments, total cost and total amount payable have been calculated on the basis of the fixed interest rate of the initial period and the interest rate to be applied during the variable period, based on the assumption that the benchmark interest rate during the variable period, the 12-month Euribor published in September 2022 (ok_token:hipoteca:euribor:en) remains constant at the last known rate, to which the relevant spread is added, given that the variable interest rate for the variable period is higher than the initial fixed rate at the time this information is provided.
However, please note that after the first year it is a variable-rate loan and that the amount of each mortgage repayment will vary from the expiry date of the period in which the initial fixed interest rate is applied (12 months), and then on a six-monthly basis, at the time of each interest rate review. At the time of each review the applicable mortgage payment will be calculated based on the benchmark index, 12-month Euribor, or a substitute benchmark index, if applicable, from the second calendar month prior to the date of the interest rate review, plus the corresponding spread.
This variable APR has been calculated on the assumption that the benchmark rate does not vary; therefore, this variable APR will vary with the interest rate reviews. Half-yearly review.
During the period in which the variable interest rate is applicable, if the sum of the benchmark interest rate (12-month Euribor) plus the differential applied in each case to the mortgage loan were to be negative, the mortgage loan would not involve interest payments in favour of the borrowers, although during that period of time the borrowers will not be required to pay interest.
Interest rates offered for mortgage loans intended for house purchases.
French repayment system, whereby the loan principal and interest are repaid through regular scheduled monthly instalments, i.e. of the same amount, provided that the interest rate applicable during the settlement period does not change and no early repayments are made. Since interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount, as time passes the amount of the instalment used to repay the principal increases, while the interest payment portion will decrease, as the outstanding principal is reduced. If the interest rate applicable to the loan increases due to an interest rate adjustment, then the amount of the instalment payable shall be increased. If, on the other hand, the interest rate which is applied falls, the amount of the instalment shall decrease.
The following mathematical formula is used to determine the amount of each monthly payment: P= (i x c) x (1-(1+i)-n)-1, where "p" is the monhtly payment, "i" the annual nominal interest rate divided by 12, "c" the outstanding principal of the mortgage loan and “n” the number of outstanding months of the repayment period.
We use this formula to calculate interest on outstanding capital: I= (i x c), where "I" is the interest, "i" is the annual nominal interest rate divided by 12 and "c" is the outstanding principal of the mortgage loan.
The amount repaid by customers is the monthly payment minus interest.

5 Pre-approval will be issued on the presumption of the accuracy of the information provided to date and will be subject to the subsequent performance of a comprehensive risk analysis by the Openbank risk department, once the necessary information and supporting documentation has been obtained. Accordingly, pre-approval is of an indicative nature and does not in any event constitute a Binding Offer nor a confirmation of granting the mortgage loan. Accordingly, Openbank shall not be liable for the final rejection of the mortgage loan or the terms of a subsequent Binding Offer other than those described depending on market conditions or having obtained additional information about their preferences and financial conditions; therefore, the applicant or any other recipient must take all necessary precautions before using the data contained in the pre-approval letter, which they use at their own risk.
6 The financial loss suffered by OPENBANK, if any, shall be calculated, in proportion with the reimbursed capital, by a negative difference between the outstanding capital at the time of the early redemption and the present market value of the loan.
The present market value will be calculated as the sum of the current value of the outstanding fees up to the next interest rate review and the current value of the outstanding capital at the time of the review had it not been cancelled early. The update interest rate will be the market rate that applies to the remaining time period until the next review. The applicable index for calculating market value will be the Interest Rate Swap (IRS) at 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 year periods that will be published by the Bank of Spain and which a spread will be added. This spread will be fixed as the existing difference, at the time the transaction is signed, between the transaction interest rate and the IRS at the next closest installment to that time, until the next interest rate review date or until its maturity date.
The reference interest rate of the above that is closest to the outstanding period of the loan term from the early termination until the next interest rate review date or until its maturity date shall be applied.
If you decide to pay the loan off early, please contact us in order to determine the exact level of compensation at that time.
