At **HomeQuest**, we’re seeing a growing number of younger buyers entering the Spanish property market—and for good reason.

If you are a **resident in Spain under the age of 35**, there are now more incentives than ever designed to help you secure your first home. From reduced taxes to high-percentage mortgages, these benefits can significantly reduce the barrier to entry.

Here’s everything you need to know.

# # 💰 Financial Support: Grants of Up to €10,800

One of the biggest advantages available is direct financial assistance from the government.

Eligible buyers may receive:

* Up to **€10,800 in grants**
* Covering up to **20% of the purchase price**

These grants are typically available when:

* Buying your **first primary residence**
* Purchasing in **smaller municipalities or inland areas**
* Meeting specific **income criteria**

👉 This can dramatically reduce the amount of savings needed to get started.

# # 🏦 Low Deposit Mortgages – Up to 95% (or More)

Saving a large deposit is often the biggest hurdle—but Spain is actively helping young buyers overcome this.

Many lenders now offer:

* **Up to 95% mortgages** for under 35s
* Access to **government-backed guarantees (ICO schemes)**

These guarantees can:

* Cover up to **20% of the loan**
* Allow buyers to access **close to 100% financing**

👉 In real terms, this means you may only need minimal upfront savings compared to the traditional 30%.

# # 📉 Reduced Property Transfer Tax (ITP)

When purchasing a resale property, buyers usually pay between **6% and 10%** in transfer tax.

However, if you're under 35 and a resident:

* You may qualify for **significantly reduced rates**
* In regions like Andalucía, this can be as low as **3.5%**

👉 On a €250,000 property, that could mean a saving of **over €10,000**.

# # 🏡 Rent-to-Buy Options

For buyers not quite ready to commit immediately, Spain is introducing flexible pathways:

* **Rent-to-buy schemes**
* Potential support of up to **€30,000**

👉 This is an ideal stepping stone if you want to secure a property while building financial stability.
