Mortgage simulation for a Tenerife apartment

Hipoteken’s monthly mortgage model

Unsure whether you could afford a mortgage? To help you budget, we’ve done a true illustratrion of the cost of buying a Spanish property using products available today.

For this month’s example, we’ve picked an apartment in Tenerife, Canary Islands, on the market for €235,000. Read on to see how affordable your monthly repayments could be and what your total outlay (completion costs) would be to secure the property – or a similar one with the same purchase price.

The property

Year-round sunshine and incredible views are guaranteed with this modern apartment on Tenerife’s stunning west coast. Recently reduced by €5,000, the property is part of the popular Balcón de los Gigantes complex in Puerto de Santiago. In an elevated location on the top floor and boasting a northwest aspect, it has fantastic panoramas of the famous Los Gigantes cliffs, the sparkling Atlantic Ocean and the communal pool area.

The 100 square metres of living space includes a hall, two airy bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and an open-plan living area with a fully equipped kitchen and lounge. A highlight is the large balcony, accessed by both bedrooms and the living area. On the market with local agent Costa Tenerife Inmobiliaria, the property has been renovated to a high standard and has bright, fresh colours throughout. It’s being sold fully furnished and with fully functioning air conditioning and its own parking space.

The Balcón de los Gigantes apartment complex occupies a prime spot facing the sea and within easy walking distance of the promenade, shops, bars and restaurants. Built around a large outdoor pool with an extensive sun terrace, bar and free Wi-Fi, the popular La Arena beach is also just a short stroll away.

Tenerife’s balmy winter temperatures of 18ºC-21ºC mean this property and the Canarian beach lifestyle can be enjoyed anytime of the year. And getting there is easy, thanks to regular flights to Tenerife Sur airport from the UK and EU countries. Transfer to the complex is just 35 minutes’ drive, with the option of a shuttle service.

Purchase price: €235,000 (excluding taxes and fees)
