If you take out a fixed-rate mortgage loan, we can be sure that every month, until the end, we will pay the same fee. Experts do not agree on whether it is better to ask for a fixed or variable rate mortgage, since it depends on the profile of the mortgaged future, on the one hand, on the offer of fixed and variable mortgages at all times and on economic and financial factors various (evolution of interest rates, among others). Fill in the following contact form if you want a real estate credit broker selected by our mortgage portal to analyse whether a fixed or variable mortgage is convenient for you:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/futurfinances.com\/en\/here-is-the-best-mortgage-do-not-pay-anything-more\/\">Contact of mortgage broker<\/a><!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paumonserrat.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pau A. Monserrat<\/a>, CEO of Futur Finances, <strong>bets on the fixed rate<\/strong> as long as the <strong>nominal rate is below 2% -3%<\/strong> in 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In August 2019, with the Euribor back on a downward path in a scenario of negative rates, it was even possible to find fixed-rate mortgages at 2%, as explained in the \u201cEl Confidencial\u201d news article titled &#8216;Banking redoubles its commitment to the rate fixed before the collapse of the Euribor&#8217; in which our economist thinks. In a story in Expansion about fixed-rate mortgages for after the summer, our CEO participates again commenting that against the odds, 2019 is going to be a better year to request a fixed-rate mortgage than 2018: in the news titled &#8216; The bank heats up the market for a mortgage war in September &#8216;fixed loans at nominal rates below 2% are mentioned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2020 looks like it will also be a good year to take out a fixed-rate mortgage, although there are some data that reinforce the idea that banks will gradually start to make this type of mortgage more expensive.<\/p>\n<h2>FIXED AND VARIABLE MORTGAGES IN THE MEDIA<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some opinions expressed by the CEO of Futur Finances in the media related to mortgages and interest rates are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elconfidencial.com\/vivienda\/2019-08-31\/euribor-hipotecas-variable-fijo-tipos-de-interes_2199811\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\"><strong>The Euribor marks all-time low in August<\/strong><\/a>. The Confidential of 08\/31\/2019.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.20minutos.es\/noticia\/3746901\/0\/euribor-minimo-historico-agosto-hipotecas-fijo-timo-chollo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\"><strong>\u00bfLas hipotecas a tipo fijo son un error o un chollo?<\/strong><\/a> 20 Minutos de 30\/08\/2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>FIXED-TYPE AND VARIABLE-TYPE MORTGAGES<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A fixed-rate mortgage is not suitable for any profile of clients, since a mortgage adviser must first <strong>study the profile of clients<\/strong> and their financial needs and objectives. There are clients for whom a variable rate suits them better than a fixed rate, due to their income, savings capacity and financial training.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, most mortgages that are signed in our country are at variable interest. This means that in each period of interest rate revision the instalment is constant, but when the interest varies, the monthly payment changes. The important thing is to know what variable interest rate is applied to us, which is calculated as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Variable interest = reference + differential<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>benchmark<\/strong> is the mortgage market index that applies to us, be it the Euribor or the IRPH of entities The bank adds a <strong>differential<\/strong> to this index, which varies from 0 to what the bank estimates. The most important thing is that we analyse the graph of how the index evolves over the years, to get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow much the quota can rise or fall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The ideal<\/strong> for a family would be to take out a fixed-rate mortgage, since they would know their mortgage payments month by month. However, most are signed at a variable rate. The reason? That banks prefer that the exchange rate risk be assumed by their clients. And therefore they offer little offer of fixed mortgage loans, with stricter grant requirements and very high interest rates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In practice,<\/strong> it is often more competitive to risk interest increases in exchange for variable mortgages, which, in principle, offer future interest rate scenarios that are lower on average than their fixed-rate competitors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In any case, it is always recommended to find out the maximum interest that the reference index reached, add the differential and calculate the fee. This would be the highest monthly payment that, in principle, we could have to pay. If with our income we could not pay it, it is advisable not to embark on this mortgage and look for a cheaper house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fixed or variable rate mortgage<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It depends on the conditions that the bank offers us. In 2020, banks offer competitive fixed-rate mortgages that must be analysed, depending on the risk profile of the mortgaged. In addition to the interest rate, you must take into account the linked products, which are used too frequently to increase the final cost of the mortgage at a fixed or variable rate. The bonuses for contracted products are not usually bonuses, but penalties: in reality <strong>it is cheaper not to link, no matter how much the applied interest rises<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hr hr_flag\">\n<div class=\"primary-background flag\"><span class=\"flag-text on-primary-color\"><a class=\"scrollTop\" href=\"#top\">Up<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><!-- \/wp:freeform -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- close content main div --><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id='layer_slider_2'  class='avia-layerslider main_color avia-shadow  container_wrap sidebar_right'  style='height: 601px; max-width: 1594px; margin: 0 auto;'  ><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-bk2tk-4830083f656cce61752cefbca9948767 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" >\n<div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" >\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Should I take out a <strong>fixed<\/strong> or <strong>variable<\/strong> mortgage in Spain?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12039,"parent":0,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12692","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fixed or Variable interest rates for a mortgage in Spain? - Futur Finances<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Should I take out a fixed or variable mortgage in Spain?
