MORTGAGE COSTS, WHAT EXPENSES CAN I CLAIM?
MORTGAGE COSTS WHAT EXPENSES CAN I CLAIM?, At Imont Legal & Taxes we specialise in banking law.
The mortgage formalisation costs are the amounts derived from the payment of notary fees, agency fees, land registry fees and valuation fees that you paid when you signed your mortgage.
The Supreme Court in its recent Ruling 35/2021 of 27 January 2021 has ruled in favour of the consumer, establishing that consumers who had a mortgage loan are entitled to the restitution of 100% of the expenses paid for the registration of the property, agency and appraisal, as well as half of the notary fees.
These expenses must be paid by the bank provided that the mortgage loan deed is prior to the Mortgage Law of 2019, Law 5/2019, of 15 March, regulating real estate credit contracts, and that the mortgage expenses clause is considered abusive.
Now, as of the aforementioned Ruling, any borrower who has not yet recovered the costs derived from their mortgage can go to the Courts of Justice to be reimbursed the part that corresponds to them according to the criteria of the Supreme Court plus the corresponding legal interest.
With this latest ruling, the Supreme Court puts an end to the uncertainty as to which costs should be paid by consumers, which should be paid by the banks or which should be paid in half.
Mortgage loans prior to 16 June 2019:
– land registry, agency and appraisal fees -> 100% bank.
– Notary fees -> 50% consumer – 50% bank.
– Stamp duty -> 100% the consumer.
