Homeowners in Spain could pay less on mortgages under new proposal

Spanish homeowners may potentially enjoy reduced mortgage rates following a new proposal. This plan, suggested by the Spanish financial consumer association ASUFIN, would enable individuals to renegotiate their existing loans with lower interest rates if they make their homes more energy efficient. The homeowners would need to improve their property's energy efficiency rating by at least two grades to qualify for a better mortgage.

However, as of now, the proposal has not been approved, and homeowners cannot demand a reduction in their mortgage rate under this plan. The proposal, which is included in a broader set of seven measures, intends to make energy-efficient home renovations more affordable and accessible across Spain.
