Non-resident mortgage brokers
Portuguese mortgage brokers with track records on non-resident Madeira property lending. LTV caps, Euribor spreads, currency-risk treatment, and realistic approval timelines for foreign-income borrowers.
Non-resident mortgage access in Portugal is real but tighter than for residents. Banks set their own loan-to-value for non-residents, within the Banco de Portugal limits (90% for an own permanent home, 80% for anything else), price their own spread over Euribor, and discount foreign-currency income conservatively. Ask each bank for its timeline in writing; plan for a CPCV with a financing-contingency clause so your sinal is protected if the bank says no.
Good Madeira mortgage brokers know which banks have an appetite for non-resident lending in which concelhos, can pre-screen your documents, and can tell you early if your scenario is borderline so you can adjust (larger deposit, different purchase price, different property type) before you commit the CPCV.
