Affordable mortgage offers are gradually disappearing from the financial landscape. In a context of inflation<\/strong>, exacerbated by a conflict in Iran driving fuel prices up, markets anticipate an impending interest rate hike from the European Central Bank. Consequently, Spanish financial institutions have seized this opportunity to <\/strong>increase their mortgage rates<\/strong><\/a>: according to the Bank of Spain, the average rate for mortgages in March was 2.75%, significantly higher than the 2.61% recorded in December of the previous year.<\/p>\n

However, a few banks are still maintaining competitively priced offers to capture market share. Financial comparator HelpMyCash.com identifies the best mortgages in Spain<\/strong> in terms of interest rates offered by Ibercaja, Banca March, Banco Sabadell, Pibank, Kutxabank, and COINC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cheapest Fixed Mortgages<\/h2>\n

According to analysts, the Hipoteca Vamos Fija from Ibercaja<\/strong><\/a> offers the lowest fixed interest rate at 2.30% TIN (3.25% APR)<\/strong>, provided the borrower sets up payroll, pays three bills, uses a credit card, and takes out home, life, and a systematic savings plan. If these services are not signed, the rate increases to 3.30% TIN (3.54% APR).<\/p>\n

Next on the list is the Hipoteca Fija Avantio from Banca March<\/strong>, which has a starting interest rate of 2.65% TIN (3.01% APR)<\/strong>, contingent on setting up recurring income and taking insurance with the bank. If requirements are not met, the rate rises to 3.35% TIN (3.48% APR).<\/p>\n

Completing the top three is the Hipoteca Fija from Banco Sabadell<\/strong><\/a>, which offers rates starting at 2.75% TIN (3.58% APR)<\/strong>, subject to setting up payroll and maintaining three insurance policies: home, life, and payment protection. If these conditions are not met, the rate increases to 3.75% TIN (3.99% APR).<\/p>\n

Best Mixed Rate Mortgages<\/h2>\n

For mixed-rate options, the Hipoteca Pibank Mixta from Pibank<\/strong><\/a> offers the lowest initial interest of 1.75% TIN fixed for the first four years<\/strong>, followed by EURIBOR + 0.68%<\/strong> for the remaining term (3.18% APR), with no requirement to take additional products.<\/p>\n

Following closely is the Hipoteca Vamos Mixta 5 from Ibercaja<\/strong>, which provides a fixed rate of 1.80% TIN for the first five years<\/strong>, transitioning to EURIBOR + 0.60%<\/strong> afterward (3.66% APR), with similar conditions to the fixed-rate offer. If these requirements are not fulfilled, the initial fixed rate rises to 2.80% TIN and the variable rate goes to EURIBOR + 1.60% (3.97% APR).<\/p>\n

Banco Sabadell also ranks third in this category, offering a mixed mortgage at 1.80% TIN fixed for the first three years<\/strong> and EURIBOR + 0.70%<\/strong> thereafter (3.90% APR), conditioned on payroll setup and insurance purchases. If not, the fixed rate is at 2.70% TIN and EURIBOR + 1.60% (4.22% APR).<\/p>\n

Most Attractive Variable Rate Mortgages<\/h2>\n

Looking at variable-rate offerings, the Hipoteca Variable from Kutxabank<\/strong> holds the lowest initial rate at 1.92% TIN for the first year, followed by EURIBOR + 0.49%<\/strong> for the remaining term (3.62% APR), contingent upon setting up payroll and taking a home insurance and a pension plan. If not, the rate rises to EURIBOR + 1.49% (4.33% APR) starting from year two.<\/p>\n

The Hipoteca Variable from Banco Sabadell<\/strong><\/a> secures the second position with an initial rate of 1.50% TIN for the first year and EURIBOR + 0.50%<\/strong> subsequently (3.93% APR), dependent on payroll and multiple insurance policies. If these conditions are not met, the rate increases to 2.50% TIN for the first year and EURIBOR + 1.50% thereafter (4.36% APR).<\/p>\n

Rounding out the top three variable-rate mortgages, the Hipoteca Variable from COINC<\/strong> starts with a 2.30% TIN fixed for the first three years<\/strong>, shifting to EURIBOR + 0.50%<\/strong> afterward (3.26% APR), provided customers open one of Bankinter’s active accounts. Without this, the initial rate is 2.70% TIN for the first three years and EURIBOR + 0.90% after (3.71% APR).<\/p>\n
