What is a self-build mortgage?
A self-build mortgage is a type of financing designed for people who want to build their own home rather than buy one that has already been built.
Unlike a traditional mortgage, the money is not released all at once, but in different stages as construction progresses.
This type of arrangement is also known as:
At Hipoteca Nova, we help you understand how it works and structure it correctly.

How does a mortgage to build a house work?
With a mortgage to build a house, financing is granted based on the value of the completed project and released in different stages.
The process usually includes:
- Purchasing the land (if you do not already own it)
- Submitting the project and permits
- Valuation of the completed project
- Release of funds based on construction progress certificates
That is why it is essential to plan every step carefully before starting the process.
Self-build mortgage with land
One of the most common scenarios is a self-build mortgage with land, where you already own the plot or are in the process of acquiring it.
In these cases, the land can form part of the arrangement as a contribution, which may improve the financing terms.
At Hipoteca Nova, we analyse your situation to structure the arrangement as efficiently as possible.

Differences compared with a conventional mortgage
A self-build mortgage has specific features that clearly distinguish it from a traditional mortgage:
Funding is released in stages
More technical documentation is required
The process takes longer
Banks assess the project in greater detail
That is why specialist advice is essential.
What you need to qualify for a self-build mortgage
To qualify for a self-build mortgage, banks assess various factors:
- Employment stability and income
- Available savings
- Value of the land (if you own it)
- Approved technical project
- Building permit
At Hipoteca Nova, we help you prepare all the documentation and improve your profile before submitting the application.
