What Happens if You Default on Your Mortgage in Spain?

Posted by admin - February 15th, 2010

In uncertain economic times, many people find themselves unable to make their mortgage payments. Whether the mortgage is on a primary residence or vacation home, defaulting on a mortgage can have serious consequences for the homeowner. These consequences vary by state, province, and country, so you must be sure to completely understand them.

There are specific repercussions involved in defaulting on a Spanish mortgage. In past years, it was possible to default on a Spanish mortgage with little to no loss at all to the homeowner. This used to be true, especially for second residences or vacation homes. But now Spanish mortgage holders can and do pursue every legal means necessary to collect on their mortgages.

In case a homeowner must default on a mortgage in Spain, turning over the home to the bank is often an option. Turning the home over to the bank will save you a lot of money, as the bank will not have court costs associated with pursuing you for the mortgage, and your interest will stop accruing sooner. But although this is an option, it must first be discussed with the bank. The bank can to agree to accept the home back, but they do not have to. Homeowners that have a true hardship as a reason for defaulting on a Spanish mortgage will likely be more successful in negotiating a home turnover. An example of such a hardship would be the death of a spouse or another situation that has caused your income to be drastically cut.

If you cannot negotiate a home turnover with the bank that holds your Spanish mortgage, you will need to sell the home as soon as possible. The homeowner must sell the home for as much as possible, as the bank that holds the Spanish mortgage will come after him or her for any amount remaining on the loan after the home sale proceeds are paid to the bank. They are more likely to do so if the shortfall is large. They will attempt to collect the remaining amount they are owed in any legal way they can. This means you may face liens on any assets you own, including your primary home and investments. This may take years to do, but the bank will not give up without getting their money.

If you must default on your Spanish mortgage, it is vital that you contact the bank as soon as possible to work with them. Showing a willingness to work with the bank can allow a homeowner to walk away from a Spanish mortgage with as little financial cost as possible and still retain full ownership of all his or her other assets.

Multiple reasons spurring City office leasing

Posted by admin - February 15th, 2010


The City of London office market is currently booming because as of right now there is reportedly 700,000 sq ft of office space leases said to be in the process of closing. This is a large change when compared to the first quarter of 2009, which was the worst take-up period in the history of the city.

There are a vast number of reasons that leasing may be mushrooming at the moment including the simple fact that there are many 25 year leases that were signed back in the eighties and 15 year leases signed in the nineties that are now coming to a close.

Other reasons include businesses are moving towards sustainability, which means that larger companies now are moving out of old office space areas once their leases are up. Additionally ‘thin client technology’ and cutting staff to trim down budgets have also spurred companies to move.

In particular the “cloud” also allows data to now be stored in huge data centres instead of at desks, which also changes the way that people work and the amount of desk space that is needed within offices.

City of London office space is also on the rise due to something referred to as the ‘herd instinct,’ which means in short that once banks stopped handing out funds the amount of available office space quickly dwindled making the city seem more profitable than it actually is.

Many wonder if the City’s boom is a sign of more office space take-up across the UK, but with the shape of the economy as it is, there is still a lot of progress that needs to be made.

A Story of Putney - Let the History Records Say

Posted by admin - January 29th, 2010

Putney is a small part within the Manor of Wimbledon. It is located between the parishes of Wandsworth and Barnes and is bordered on the North by the Thames. It is part of the hundred of Brixton, which is part of the county of Surrey. The earliest mention of Putney can be seen in the Doom Book, where it is referred to as Putenlie.

Earl Harold had this fishery in Mortelage (Mortlake) in the time of King Edward, and of King William; however, it is said that Harold set it up by force during King Edwards reign in the land of Chingestune (Kingston), and in the land of Saint Paul’s.

The Fishery
Being on the Thames Putney has always seen a good connection with businesses that are linked with this river had a strong association with businesses associated with the river. According to an age old ritual of the Manor of Wimbledon, In the early 1660s a fishery decided the best catch for March, April, & May, but this soon turned into money payment.

As Per Guthrie fishery, here, went on until late 1780s, when, and then it is said to have been abandoned. Lyson tells us that although no “fishery” could be seen in Putney after 1786, the region continued to witness fishing well into the beginning of the 19th century. Today fishing in this region is limited to the adventurous fishers

The Putney Ferrying
The Putney Ferry has a history going back to the 11th century and possibly before. In the records from Edward I (1272-1307) the ferry was twice mentioned.

The first is wherein Robert the Ferryman of Putney and other sailors received 3/6d for carrying a great part of the royal family across the Thames and also taking the king and his family to Westminster.

There were two types of ferry that could be obtained from Putney, the “long ferry” ran to Westminster and London and the “short ferry” which ran to Fulham. The first one was mainly used by foot passengers to avoid the poor roads. Horses could, of course, be obtained at the numerous inns in Putney in the vicinity of, nearby the ferry.

Can’t Afford Your Spanish Mortgage: What Choices Do You Have?

Posted by admin - January 10th, 2010

When money is tight, many people end up in a situation where they cannot pay their bills, sometimes including their mortgage. If you find yourself unable to pay your mortgage on your primary or second home, you may face major consequences. The repercussions of defaulting vary by state and province and by country, and can affect a homeowner for years to come, so he or she must fully realize what defaulting on a mortgage means to financial security and status.

Defaulting on mortgages in Spain, for example, has very specific consequences. In past years, it was possible to default on a Spanish mortgage with little to no loss at all to the homeowner. This was especially true if the homeowner was not a Spanish citizen and the home was a vacation home or second residence. But now Spanish mortgage holders can and do pursue every legal means necessary to collect on their mortgages.

In case a homeowner must default on a mortgage in Spain, turning over the home to the bank is often an option. This option will save you money in court costs incurred by the bank when pursuing you for the balance, as well as additional interest on the mortgage during the court battle. However, turning the home over to the bank is a process that must be negotiated. The bank is under no obligation to let you out of the mortgage by taking the home back. They will be rather unlikely to take the home back without good reason such as a hardship. An example of such a hardship would be the death of a spouse or another situation that has caused your income to be drastically cut.

If you cannot negotiate a home turnover with the bank that holds your Spanish mortgage, you will need to sell the home as soon as possible. You should try to get as much from the home sale as you can, as you will still be responsible to the bank for any shortfall between the home sale amount and the remaining amount on your Spanish mortgage. They are more likely to do so if the shortfall is large. But the bank can legally attempt to collect any amount from you. The bank may collect money by placing liens on any and all assets of the homeowner..

Defaulting on a Spanish mortgage is an extremely serious situation, so it is essential that the homeowner work as closely as possible with the bank as soon as it is evident that defaulting is going to be unavoidable. Doing so can result in an agreement that will satisfy the bank, relieve you of your responsibilities associated with the Spanish mortgage, and allow you to keep other assets you may own.

Liverpool City Centre Complex Attracts Tenants

Posted by admin - January 5th, 2010


Kilpatrick Property Group has reported that they have signed off on agreements leasing out portions of their recently refurbished office complexes in the heart of Liverpool. The property company completed the renovation project a few months ago.

Deals have been signed amounting to about £1m by Kilpatrick Property Group in the Liverpool city centre area where it had earlier undertaken a massive refurbishment project in the blocks 10-18 of Castle Street. The Glasgow based company invested about £2m in the acquisition of the properties and spent a further £500,000 on the refurbishment works in 14 Castle Street, which is a Grade II building.

The first office space, which covers a total of 1,840 square feet in this complex, has been taken up by FRD Risk Solutions. This portion has been refurbished under a private SIPP with capital rate exceeding £180 per sq ft.

Three deals have been signed by Kilpatrick Property Group for various shared office space units in the complex. These deals are tenancy agreements valid for a period of 25 years, signed up with owner-managed companies who will be paying rents.

16 Castle Street has been acquired by a private party for occupation by the Origin Rejuvenation Clinic. This clinic will occupy the space of 800 square feet that is spread over the basement and ground floor, and the space will be occupied until 2018 under the terms agreed upon. Earlier, 18 Castle Street was sold to yet another private investor SIPP who let the space out to the Furness Building Society. The deal has yielded a 7% return on the sale price.

Speaking about these office developments, Maurice Glen, MD of Kilpatrick Property Group, stated that the deals are a testament to the good quality refurbishment that has been done here. Even when the tenancy market is over saturated, Kilpatrick Property has managed to make about £180 per sq ft from these sales, Glen pointed out.

Posted by admin - November 3rd, 2009

The proposals for renovating George Square in Glasgow seem to have hit a dead end, especially since the proposed project has been rejected by the council on the grounds of the design not being aesthetic to the area.

The design had initially been recommended by the planning officers, but was rejected by the council by a small margin of 8-6. According to the opponents of the proposal, the building looked a lot like another building of the 1970s that failed. It was also pointed out that the office building would not fit in well in the given surroundings.

Neil Gillespie, director of Reiach and Hall, said that the decision has been a real disappointment for the firm and that they would be looking forward to finding out if the plan was had been rejected by a unanimous decision.
