Why self-employed files are different

Spanish lenders typically request 2–3 years of accounts, recent tax returns (e.g. Modelo 130/100) and bank statements. Income stability, profit trend and the legal structure of the business all influence indicative borrowing.

Indicative LTV expectations

Self-employed non-residents are commonly positioned around 50–65% LTV; residents may access up to ~70–80% depending on profile and lender. These are indicative ranges, not offers.

Common pitfalls

Mixing personal and company expenses, declaring minimal income for tax optimisation, and short trading history can all reduce indicative borrowing. Brokers experienced with self-employed profiles can help structure documentation appropriately.

Many lenders accept foreign company income with translated, apostilled accounts. A broker experienced with multi-jurisdiction files is recommended.
