i have heard that it is hard to get a mortgage on a rustic property.is this true?
the property is a corjito and its in quite a good state being about 10mins away from the town...not too sure if this is classed as urban or not.
if it is classed as rustic does anyone know of any lenders out there who will borrow the money.

It could be true - it depends on the legality of the building.

Many houses built on rustic land are either totally illegal or they have been built as agricultural buildings.

If it was legally built and is registered as a house and has the necessary certificates of occupation etc there is no reason why a mortgage should not be granted.

To put it another way, if you can't get a mortgage then don't buy it!

You need to enquire if the property has a full escritura (title deed) because if it doesn't, you will not get a mortgage on it. If the property needs to be knocked down and rebuilt you will probably only be able to build on the 'footprint' of the old house so just err on the side of caution and double check everything.

If you have the Catastral ref no you can check for yourself the status of the land etc via the Catastro website - see the free beer thread I expect!

Spot on dude.

hi, our villa is on rustic land and we got a mortgage on it through BBVA (no probs) pat

hi did you get a 80% mortgage or was it 70% or less and was this due to it being rustic or just the banks general terms. if they want 30% or more i will struggle with the deposit.

can you get a spanish mortgage if you are 19

I have a new house built on rustic land. I have two catastral numbers, one for the land which is catagorised as rustic and one for the house which is catagorised as urbano. The house is mortgagable.

how much did the lender ask for a deposit

The norm for lending purposes seems to be 70% of the bank's valuation. Higher percentages are available but the interest rate will generally be less favourable. As with anything, shop around.
Any mortgage offer will depend on the bank valuation and of course your income.
I don't want to rain on your parade but if you are going to struggle to raise a 30% deposit, maybe you should be looking at a cheaper property because, don't forget, you will also have to pay mortgage arrangement fees, taxes, notary fees (on average 10% of the purchase price) not to mention building licences, architect's fees (not cheap!) etc.

il ask again as people are struggling with what iam saying. i have a rustic property with full deeds. i have a 20%deposit and 12%for taxes set aside. what im asking will i get a mortgage with this property or will the lenders ask for more of a deposit as the rustic thing is a grey area. does anyone know of anyone getting a 80%mortg on a rustic property with full deeds.

I thought hillybilly just answered this on the previous post, the best scenario, rustic land would probably be less loaned.

I also thought that rustico land dwellings had to be used as the fashion of the land, IE farm buildings on a working farm.

Rixxy will be able to tell you.

Someone needs to take a chill pill!

The amount a bank is willing to lend really has nothing to do with a property being rustic or urban. It depends on the individual lender's criteria, their valuation and your personal financial circumstances.
Will you get an 80% mortgage on this particular property? None of us on here is in the position of being able to answer that question. Ask some banks.
