🏡 Have Cash to Buy in Portugal? Why You Might Still Want a Mortgage
🏡 Buying property in Portugal and wondering whether you can get a mortgage as a foreigner or non-resident? How much could you borrow, how old is too old for a Portuguese mortgage, and what happens if you sign a CPCV before your financing is approved?In this video, Romain Palluel of CAFIMO explains how Portuguese mortgages work for international buyers, including mortgage rates, pre-approval, loan-to-value, age limits, residency requirements and the process of financing a property purchase.We look at some of the questions that come up regularly when buying property in Portugal: Can foreigners get a mortgage? Can you get a mortgage without being a Portuguese resident? How does a bank decide how much you can borrow? What happens when the bank values the property? And why can signing a CPCV before your financing is secured create a risk?If you’re moving to Portugal, already living here, or considering buying a home or investment property, understanding how Portuguese banks approach international buyers can help you plan ahead and avoid costly surprises.The discussion covers fixed and mixed mortgage rates in Portugal, mortgages for older borrowers, buying property with multiple borrowers, opening a Portuguese bank account from abroad, and the differences between buying a home to live in and financing a property as an investment or rental.We also look at why someone who has enough cash to buy a property might still choose to borrow, and how mortgage financing can work differently when buying a property for investment or rental income.Whether you are researching a move to Portugal, looking for your dream home, exploring Portuguese real estate, or considering property as an investment, this conversation offers practical insights into financing a property purchase in Portugal as a foreign buyer.— — — — — — — — — —⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome And Introductions01:09 Mortgage Myths And Age Limits03:18 Cafimo Background And Market06:44 Rates And Fixed Vs Variable09:18 Mortgage Process And Preapproval13:03 CPCV Risks And Bank Accounts19:17 Multi Borrowers And Residency20:50 Appraisal Vs Structural Survey22:57 Interest Rates And Older Borrowers26:00 Why Borrow If You Have Cash27:39 Buy To Let And Investment Loans30:17 Wrap Up And How To Contact— — — — — — — — — —💡 VIDEO SUMMARYRomain Palluel of CAFIMO, a mortgage broker specialising in international clients, explains how foreigners and non-residents can finance property purchases in Portugal and addresses some common mortgage myths.He discusses age limits for Portuguese mortgages, including how the oldest borrower can affect the maximum mortgage term, as well as the circumstances in which banks may require both spouses to be included on the loan. He also explains how pre-approval works, how much a buyer may potentially be able to borrow, and what happens during the bank's property valuation.The conversation also looks at mortgage timelines, from pre-approval through to the final offer, and why it can be risky to sign a CPCV without appropriate financing protections. Other topics include opening a Portuguese bank account remotely, fixed and mixed mortgage rates, buying with multiple borrowers, and the difference between a bank's property valuation and a structural survey.Finally, Romain explains why someone who has enough cash to buy a property might still consider borrowing, including when purchasing a property for investment or rental.— — — — — — — — — —👤 ABOUT OUR EXPERT GUESTRomain Palluel – CAFIMOFor more information about mortgage financing for expatriates, foreign residents and non-residents buying or investing in Portugal, you can find Romain's contact details here: https://expatsportugal.com/expert-service/portuguese-home-mortgages/— — — — — — — — — —🇵🇹 ABOUT EXPATS PORTUGALAt Expats Portugal, we’ve been helping people navigate life in Portugal since 2005.
