On average, the mortgage process takes between 4 to 8 weeks from the initial application to final approval and signing. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline:

✅ 1. Pre-Approval (1–2 weeks)

Once you’ve submitted your documents (ID, income proof, bank statements, etc.), the bank will assess your financial situation and give you a preliminary offer.

📋 2. Property Valuation (1 week)

The bank will require an official valuation (tasación) of the property by an authorized appraiser. This is usually scheduled quickly, but can take a few days for results.

🧾 3. Final Approval (1–2 weeks)

After valuation, the bank finalizes the offer. This step includes a legal and risk assessment.

✍️ 4. Signing & Notary Appointment (1–2 weeks)

Once the loan is approved, you’ll set a date to sign the mortgage deed (and usually the purchase deed as well) in front of a notary.

🔍 Tip: Delays can happen due to missing paperwork, holidays, or bank backlogs, so it’s good to start early and be prepared.
