Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Mortgage in Tetouan

What is the minimum salary required for a mortgage in Morocco?

There is no legal minimum salary, but banks require that monthly instalments do not exceed 40% of net income. To borrow MAD 800,000 over 20 years at 4.35%, the monthly payment is about MAD 5,000, which implies a net income of at least MAD 12,500/month.

Can I finance 100% of the property price?

No. Moroccan banks require a minimum down payment of 10% (sometimes 20-30% depending on the profile). Only specific state-backed products such as Fogarim or Fogaloge for first-time buyers enable near-full financing with a public guarantee.

What is the difference between fixed and variable rates?

A fixed rate stays the same for the entire loan term. A variable rate is indexed on a reference rate (TMIPE) and can move. In Morocco, 85% of mortgages are fixed-rate because households prioritise certainty.

What other fees should I expect beyond the APR?

File fees (0.5-1% of the amount), notary fees (2-3% of the property), land registry (1%), notification tax, death-disability insurance (0.3-0.6%/year). Budget roughly 7-8% of the property price in extra costs.
