How can I  finance the construction of my new prefabricated or modular home?

The first 2 questions you will have are: 

How can I finance the construction of my prefabricated or modular home? 

the answer   is with a   self-promotion mortgage

Is it possible to take out a self-promotion mortgage for industrialised construction?  

La respuesta es sí.

The 3 essential requirements to be able to take out a self-build mortgage on a future industrialised construction are as follows:

  1. There must be a construction project endorsed by the College of Architects y un Building Permit
  2. The house is anchored to the ground  (the foundation)
  3. Can be registered in the Land Registry.

What is a self-drive mortgage?

The Self-promotor motgage  is the formula for banks to finance house building projects.  for private individuals. 

How does an autopromoter mortgage work?

The bank carries out a financial study of the client as in any other type of mortgage. 

It takes into account household income, pay slips, other income such as rents,   the employment stability, other financial debts (CIRBE) and payment obligations. 

Calculate your debt capacity DTI (English Debt To Income) that may not represent more than 35% of net income.

It makes a forward-looking valuation of the value of the property once it is built. This valuation includes the price of the land, the cost of adapting the land and building the house.

Of this forward value, the bank will finance a maximum of 80% of the overall budget and determines the amount of LTV (Loan To Value) to be granted. 

The plot must be in the name of the self-developer.

How do you deliver the money if the prefabricated or modular house is not built?

La Self-promotor motgage  has the particularity that the bank delivers the amount of the approved limit by  certifications or provisions.

The first   certification or disposal is made against the value of the land plus the project cost. A building permit is included.  

It is usually used for the first payment to the builder/manufacturer of the structure (in the case of industrialised construction). 

You want to know what is industrialised construction click here  here.

The special feature of industrialized construction is that the structure is manufactured in the factory. This particularity  should be resolved with the visit of the valuer in order to certify the amount of what has already been manufactured ex works.  

In  in the event that the bank does not consent to factory certification, the self-promoter shall bear the cost of the structure or module up to the implementation on the construction site. Once it has been installed on the foundation, the appraiser will be able to certify the progress of the construction.

Once the construction is on site, the different certifications are carried out in order to have the amount available and to be able to assume the partial payments agreed with the builder/manufacturers or finishing company.

The number of certifications to be carried out may vary, but it is not advisable to carry out more than 4 certifications due to the added cost for the self-promoter, who must assume this cost.

The bank will make a final 10%-15% final certification once the house is registered in the Land Registry.

Do I have to pay the entire mortgage during the construction of my prefabricated or modular home?

The  hipoteca autopromotor  has the particularity that the payment is made from the part that is needed to make the payments to the different professionals involved in the construction.

It even establishes what is called  carencia de amortización de capital  for a period of 12/24 months depending on the bank.

As an advantage, industrialised construction has shorter execution times than traditional construction. The delivery time is reduced by up to 50% compared to traditional construction. Between 6 and 8 months from the granting of the building permit by the competent local council.

What are the different autopromoter mortgages of the banks like?

There is no homogeneous product among banks because each bank has configured its autopromoter mortgage product in a different way.

Some do not finance the land and only finance up to a percentage of the execution budget (PEM Material Execution Project) and others finance part of the land and part of the PEM.

They are percentages and we find the following models of  hipoteca autopromotor:

LAND            CONSTRUCTION

      0%                           80%

    40%                           80%

    40%                          100%

What are the financial conditions of self-build mortgages for the construction of a prefabricated or modular house?

In the case of self-promotions of industrialised construction, we can obtain a rebate on the interest rate for the energy rating. This type of construction has the highest standards in terms of energy efficiency.  Eficiencia Energética  (if you want to know more about the Energy Efficiency certificate, we leave you this post from BBVA), A category.

Other   conditions are usually the same as for the bank’s other mortgages.

What is the term of a self-build mortgage?

The terms that banks are applying in this type of mortgages is usually the same as in the rest of mortgages, 30 years.

What costs will I incur for my self-build mortgage?

As established by mortgage law Law 5/2019 regulating credit agreements relating to immovable property, mortgage costs are borne by the bank. The only cost borne by the applicant is the appraisal and subsequent certifications.
