Buying a property in Spain is exciting, but for many international buyers, the mortgage process feels confusing and overwhelming.

In this episode of the Costa Property Podcast, Warner sits down with Peter van Dijk from Mortgage Direct, a leading mortgage broker in Spain, to cut through the noise and explain exactly what you need to know if you’re thinking of financing your dream home on the Costa del Sol.

Peter brings decades of experience in European finance and now specialises in helping foreigners secure mortgages in Spain. Whether you’re planning to invest in a holiday apartment, relocate permanently, or purchase a rental property, this conversation gives you clarity and confidence for your buying journey.

You’ll hear:

• Whether foreigners can get a mortgage in Spain (and what the banks look for)
• Typical loan-to-value ratios for non-residents
• The documents you’ll need for a smooth application
• The cash you really need upfront (including hidden costs and taxes)
• The difference between fixed, variable, and mixed mortgages in Spain
• Why working with an independent mortgage broker can save you time, stress, and money
• Common mistakes and how to avoid them

This is a must-listen if you’re planning to buy property in Spain and want to understand your financing options clearly before you start house-hunting.
