Against what had been going on since 2014, banking has buried the hatchet in respect of mortgage spreads. The reason: the decline and consolidation of the euribor to 12 months in negative values.

Few entities have continued betting by the variable rate after six months with a euribor below zero. Spreads throughout the year sales are counted on the fingers of one hand. Currently, the differential half of those loans mortgage variable round the 1 %, According to data of the comparator.

On the other hand, Although fixed-rate mortgages offer unusual interests, still appear more expensive in the short term. Today is possible to sign a mortgage fixed below the 2 %, but a very short time, less than 10 years. For deadlines more own of the type variable, as they can be 30 years, those interests will rise until the 3 %, practically 2 percentage points above an average differential.

-In 2017, the commissions will be most common

Following the instructions of the Bank of Spain, entities are incorporating more commissions in its financial products. So far, variable rate mortgages not used to include opening Committee, However, each time there are more banks that are setting this tariff, it becomes effective to arrange financing. The Commission can oscillate between the 0 % and the 1 % of the capital borrowed. Like this, for a mortgage of 100.000 EUR, with a Commission from the 1 %, the client must pay an amount of 1.000 EUR.

Currently, There is a fee-free mortgage loans.Like this, If your client is going to sign a mortgage the last months of 2016, This is no doubt another advantage that it saves you interesting.

-The euribor plus more expensive the cost of those mortgages in 2017

According to the European monetary markets (EMMI), This new rate mortgage will see the light in 2017. Everything seems to indicate that its value of contributions will be positive and therefore higher than the current euribor. Like this, sign a variable mortgage months of 2016 supposed benefit from fees more affordable than in 2017, According to HelpMyCash.

It must take into account that the euribor plus is not a new index but a modification of the current. The euribor to 12 months, applied in the 90 % mortgage, are obtained with data estimates of the 24 major banks European. In order to obtain a more reliable and less manipulable indicator, the euribor plus no be based on estimates, but you will get with data real. Sample of entities that data will be expanded.

The euribor plus will apply directly to them new mortgages that is formed in 2017 and it will progressively in mortgage loans referenced to euribor signed before this date.

Reasons to be positive with the ’ housing, but going with account

Category 1 No Comments

The official statistics reflect an apparent stabilization of the housing ’. The experts claim that demand for flats will continue to grow and confirmed that it is a good time to invest by the attractive ’ profitability. However, warn of the possible rise of the Euribor ’. Discount to do so in the short term but warn of the danger that there will be when they start to do.

In general lines, experts and stakeholders in the real estate sector held the signs of optimism that ’ begin to see clearly. But some voices are clear that it is not gold that glitters, and that you should go with feet of lead in order to avoid to occur another real estate bubble as the experienced.

Experts such as Ignacio San Martín, responsible for the ’ service BBVA studies Real Estate, or Juan Fernández-Aceytuno, Director general of ’ ST Company valuation, point out four factors that demonstrate that the property sector is ’ is stabilizing, and even, recovering:

1.- The demand for housing ’ will continue to grow: San Martín ensures that the families income in real terms is growing, which will favour the demand. In addition to, the wealth of the families ’ has stabilized. You also have to count not only with national demand, but also for foreigners. Believes that this year will produce a new record of buying on the part of foreign.

2.- The ’ ’ excess supply will drop: Although slowly, the ’ stock was gradually reducing. The Ministry of public works is the ’ surplus ’ in 563.908 units in 31 December 2013, While BBVA Research the figure in 450.000, of which considered that a 30% are invendibles. This financial institution is confident that for the 2016 the ’ stock ceases to be a problem and you start to really absorb it.

3.- Stabilization of prices and even revaluation: BBVA says emphatically that the price of the ’ housing is stabilized and ’ dares to predict price revaluations this year. Sant Martí notes that the new growth of the demand for housing and ’ ’ stabilization of prices will cause the mortgage portfolio of the banks win in quality. “If the ’ rise in demand brings with it an increase in the funding and a stabilization of prices, This will improve the credit quality”, Add.

4.- Increase in the granting of mortgage ’: There is a return to mortgage financing, especially for individuals who want to buy a home. The banks have the need to give loans to increase earnings by interests of mortgages. In the current ’, the mortgage balance is falling and will continue to do so in the coming months if it is not that the banks stepping the accelerator ’ in the granting of mortgage loans.

But not all are positive news. If something has to worry about in this sector is a Euribor at historic lows. For the person you think about mortgage today, you have to keep in mind that the ’ Euribor, the ’ indicator used for the calculation of mortgage loans, has the entire route to climb.

For example, Adicae is one of the organizations that recommended not mortgaged today because “is a risk of non-payment ’ in the future”. The ’ Euribor is below but how much start up will cause the mortgage payments are high, as it spreads remain elevated with respect to the ’ era pre-crisis. “A superior interest at euribor plus a difference already represents a large increase. Above ’ Euribor + 2 It is dangerous “, make sure Manuel Pardos, ’ President of Adicae.

That's why there are experts like Juan Villén, responsible for ’ idealist mortgages, We recommend taking out a mortgage to a fixed rate so that you know what you pay every month. At the beginning of this year ’ Kutxabank launched a mortgage with a fixed rate of 2,5%.

The ’ municipal added value tax could be unconstitutional when it sells a House for losses

Category 1 No Comments

A court in San Sebastian has been the first to put into question the constitutionality of the tax ’ of municipal added value when a home is sold in losses, that is to say, When ’ gets a negative performance in the ’ operation because the ’ property is sold below the cost of buying. According to the law firm Legal Penthouse-Salcedo Lawyers, the Basque Court has raised the unconstitutionality of the tribute to understand that violates articles 24 and 31 the Magna Carta.

Apparently, Finance stipulates this tax regardless of the specific circumstances of the transmission of the ’ housing and calculates the tax base so totally oblivious to the profit or loss that you have retrieved from the seller in the ’ operation.

This circumstance, in the operations in which there are losses, infringement containing the ’ article 31 of the Constitution: “All will contribute to the maintenance of the public expenditures of ’ according to their economic capacity through a fair tax system based on the principles of equality and ’ progressiveness that, in no event shall, will be available confiscatori”.

This is, for the Court of San Sebastian the ’ application of the method proposed by the Tax Law, in the case in which an operation ‘ in losses’ shows that the ’ increase in the value of the municipal land is not real or true, so we require your payment could pose a violation of the principle of economic capacity.

In addition to, According to Legal Penthouse, “the fact that the regulations do not consider the possibility that the transmission produces a loss or disability means the burden of ’ a fictitious increase that, to be calculated by default by the method provided in the standard, may not be either the object of expert assessment ’ contradictory for the determination of the tax base, or support test on the contrary”.

This, According to the opinion of the experts, is a clear limitation of the right of defence provisions of the ’ article 24 of the Constitution, It stipulates that all people “have the right to obtain effective protection of the judges and courts in the ’ exercise of their rights and legitimate interests, without that, in no event shall, You can produce yourself defencelessness “and you also have the right” to use the means of proof relevant to their defence”.
