The January Mortgage Rush Everyone Is Talking About

Why January Could Be the Best Time to Buy or Sell Your Property

As 2025 begins, the property market in Spain is buzzing with activity and promise. With a forecasted surge in mortgage lending and exciting opportunities for buyers, there’s never been a better time to explore your dream lifestyle at La Manga Club with Marena Murray Property. Here’s why this January could be the perfect time to make your move.

The January Mortgage Surge

January traditionally marks a significant uptick in mortgage activity, and 2025 is shaping up to follow suit. With lenders vying for market share, a mortgage price war could lead to reduced rates, offering potential buyers more affordable options. In the UK alone, mortgage activity is projected to hit £104 billion this month, driven by competitive rates and ambitious sales targets from banks.

For international buyers, particularly those from the UK, this price war spells good news. Whether you're purchasing a second home, relocating, or investing, lower mortgage rates could translate to significant savings. It’s an opportunity to secure your slice of the Mediterranean dream at a more affordable cost.

Why the Stamp Duty Deadline Matters

Adding urgency to the market is the upcoming stamp duty change in April 2025. The threshold for paying stamp duty will fall from €250,000 to €125,000 (€425,000 to €300,000 for first-time buyers), making January through March a critical period for buyers to close deals and save thousands of euros.

With 283,000 property sales worth £104 billion in the pipeline, the early months of 2025 are set to be one of the busiest periods for property transactions in years. Acting now means avoiding higher stamp duty rates and capitalizing on the most favorable buying conditions.
