Revision and updating of data

The data for 2025 are provisional and will be reviewed when the data for the same period next year are published. All results of this operation are available on INEbase.

Methodological note

The Mortgage Statistics provide information on constitutions of mortgages, that is, on the number of new mortgages constituted on real estate properties during the reference month and the amount of new mortgage loans corresponding to said mortgages. All this information is broken down on the basis of various variables, such as the nature of the mortgaged property or the lending institution.

All the information on constitutions, changes and register cancellations of mortgages is obtained from the information contained in the Land Registers of the entire national territory. In order to facilitate comparisons, the data for 2003 are presented according to both the old and the new base.

Type of survey:: monthly continuous survey.
Population scope:: the registration of mortgages constituted, with changes or cancelled in the land registries.
Geographical scope:: the entire national territory, by Autonomous Communities and provinces.
Reference period of the results and the information:: the calendar month.
Classification:: rural and urban properties (dwellings, plots and other urban).
Collection method:: administrative registers from the Association of Land and Mercantile Registrars of Spain.
