Are your clients paying too much for their Spanish Mortgage?
Would they like to be on an interest only mortgage?
Would they like to raise capital on their Spanish property?
Would they like to extend the term of their mortgage to age 70?
If the answers to any of these questions are yes then we may be able to help. If they are coming to the end of their initial rate or interest only period now is the time to look at what savings they could be making by changing their Spanish mortgage and with the exchange rate against the euro it may be an excellent time to bring euros back to the UK.
