Advantages of a Unicaja Banco Variable-Rate Mortgage
A mortgage suited to your needs

Choose the mortgage that best suits your needs, variable or fixed-rate mortgage.
Up to 30 years to pay back the mortgage
You have repayment term of up to 30 years to repay your Variable-Rate Mortgage in convenient monthly repayments (25 years if you are financing a second home). Under no circumstances may the sum of the holder's age and the mortgage's term exceed 70 years.
Get up to 80% of your home's value
You can finance up to 80% of the property's value if it is your main residence and up to 70% for the purchase of a second residence. The value that will be taken into account to take out your Variable-Rate Mortgage will be the lesser of the home's market price and its appraisal value.
Make partial early repayments as from €300
You can make as many partial early repayments as you wish as from €300 and decide whether you prefer to lower your repayments or the number of monthly repayments. You additionally have the possibility of benefitting from a two-year grace period, so that you do not make any principal repayments during this period.

If a financial loss for Unicaja Banco comes about when the redemption is made, you will have to pay compensation with a maximum limit of 0.25% of the principal repaid early during the first three years and of 0% after that.
How do I know whether the Variable-Rate Mortgage interests me more than the Unicaja Banco Fixed-Rate Mortgage?
The Fixed-Rate Mortgage gives you the peace of mind of always paying the same repayment. It is a mortgage that does not depend on the evolution of market rates.
The interest rate is not fixed in the Variable-Rate Mortgage. Instead, it depends on the Euribor's value at each review plus a differential. The Euribor is an official index of the Euro Zone. It varies monthly, which is why the interest rate to be applied to the mortgage each year will be that value plus the differential you have agreed to.
Am I obliged to take out home insurance if I subscribe a Variable-Rate Mortgage?
It is necessary to take out at least basic indemnity insurance to make sure that the mortgaged asset, which in this case is the home, is protected against any contingency.
