FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about how the process works, what you pay and when, next steps, and what to expect.
Who are you and how do you fit into the process?
Zerodown is an introducer. We package your case and coordinate with a specialist mortgage broker. We are not a lender and we do not provide financial advice.
Am I eligible as a non-resident?
Eligibility depends on your documents and lender criteria. We do a quick pre-check first, then the broker confirms what is realistic for you.
What do you need to start the pre-check?
Passport or NIE, proof of income, your employment type, and any existing debts.
How long does the first answer take?
Typically within 48 hours on business days after the essentials are verified by the broker.
Will this affect my credit score?
No credit check is needed to use our site or start a pre-check. If you proceed to a formal application, the lender may run its own checks.
How much can I borrow or what LTV can I expect as a non-resident?
It varies by lender, profile, and documentation. Your broker will confirm LTV ranges after the pre-check and once they see your full file.
Do you accept different income types and currencies?
Most standard income types and currencies can be considered, subject to lender eligibility. The broker will confirm what evidence is needed.
Do you submit to multiple banks?
Yes, once the broker approves your case and your file is complete, they place it with the banks that best fit your profile.
When are fees paid, and who invoices me?
See the Pricing section. The broker invoices you directly. The first 50% is refundable if your mortgage does not complete.
Can I start if I do not have an NIE yet?
Yes, we can begin the pre-check and document build. You will need an NIE before completion. Your broker can advise on timing.
Do you work with residents too?
Yes. Our focus is the Costa del Sol, but Spain wide is possible.
What happens after an offer?
Your broker coordinates valuation, final underwriting, and notary signing, and keeps everyone aligned to completion.
Is the calculator result an approval?
No, it is illustrative. Real terms depend on lender criteria, your documents, and the property valuation.
