Buying a house through bank repossession

You let us know which property or plot you are interested in. You can then make an offer on the outstanding mortgage debt of the property in question. Once you have made an offer, you must make an initial payment. This payment includes the costs for lawyers, registration and notary fees and is necessary to continue the transaction. The amount of these costs depends on the situation and the amount of the outstanding mortgage.

From this moment on, our team will work to ensure that the process runs safely and smoothly. If your offer is accepted by the director of the mortgage lender (bank), you must ensure that the full amount is available as soon as possible. This amount is considered by the bank as a bank guarantee.

This is followed by a check on the origin of the money to ensure that the funds have been obtained legally. In Spain, this process is known as Blanqueo de capitales (money laundering). Once the mortgage lender's commission has approved this check, you must pay the remaining amount upon transfer of the mortgage.

After completing this process, you will officially be the owner of the mortgage

 

Quickly Available Homes from Auction


We offer a wide range of properties, including homes that have recently been auctioned and are quickly available. With these properties you will become the owner immediately, without the usual waiting period of 6 to 12 months. The ownership process is usually completed within approximately 2 months, which offers more certainty and significantly speeds up the purchase process.

Please note that the return on these properties is usually lower.

5. Offer approval

If your offer is accepted by the director of the mortgage lender (the bank), the money must be demonstrably in an account as soon as possible so that we can work more efficiently! This is considered a bank guarantee.

6. Checking the origin of the money

The bank carries out a check to verify that the money has been obtained legally. This is due to regulations on money laundering, known in Spain as "Blanqueo de capitales".

7. Approval of commissions

If the mortgage lender's commission gives the OK, you can proceed with the transaction.

8. Payment of remaining amount

9. Transfer of ownership

After payment, you are officially the owner of the mortgage.

10. Submitting the document

After you have gone to the notary and completed the payment of the offer accepted by the institution, the notary will submit this document to the land registry to formally register it and make it official. This process can take around 30 days.

11. Claiming the assigned debt

Once it is officially registered in the land registry, our lawyer can go to court on behalf of the client to claim the assigned debt.

12. Ownership of the property

The legal procedure to recover the debt is carried out by requesting the court to auction the property. In this way, you can recover the entire debt, including interest and expenses incurred, or obtain ownership of the property. In 90% of our cases, it is the ownership of the property.

This process requires precision, patience and care, especially with regard to financing and legal requirements in Spain. It is advisable to have legal assistance during these steps. Please note that the prices of the properties can fluctuate, no rights can be derived from this.

Frequently asked questions
How does the bidding process work?
Our specialised credit transfer lawyers, submit an offer to the bank on your behalf, based on the outstanding debt. The bank will discuss and evaluate the offer internally. After the evaluation, we will send you the bank's response.
Are there any additional costs when purchasing the mortgage right?
Yes, after obtaining the mortgage, notary fees are added for the transfer of ownership. These are around 10% of the purchase price of the mortgage or 2% if you are buying through a limited liability company B.V (S.L Spain)
Can I view the property before making an offer?
Since you are buying a mortgage right, and not directly the property, you are not entitled to a viewing. However, you can visit the property on your own initiative from the outside, or ask our staff for help.
Do you also offer financing?
Nee, omdat je een hypotheekrecht koopt, eist de bank de volledige betaling op het moment van ondertekening

De kosten die u betaalt, omvatten ook juridische procedures om eventuele krakers uit het pand te verwijderen. Een nieuwe wet die de aanpak van illegale krakers in Spanje vergemakkelijkt, treedt in april 2025 in werking. De wet maakt het mogelijk om sneller op te treden tegen krakers in gevallen van huisvredebreuk en wederrechtelijke toe-eigening. Met een versnelde rechtsgang kunnen krakers voortaan binnen maximaal vijftien dagen worden uitgezet.
