This is the maxim of a <em>personal shopper</em> real estate, a fairly unknown professional profile that has a single objective: to defend the interests of the buyer. One of them, Jordi Clotet, co-founder of Nexitum and author of <em>The 7 doors to buying your home and getting it right</em>, written after having visited more than 15,000 apartments throughout his career and having participated in 6,000 sales.

The government allows people up to 35 years old to use 20% of the down payment on the purchase of their primary residence in a loan that they won't have to repay until the mortgage is paid off, at a 0% interest rate. In return, the home will become officially protected (VPO) and will have a price cap forever.</p>]]></description>

For those thinking about getting a mortgage, this is no small detail. It is, in fact, one of those moments that demand perspective. Therefore, my recommendation, which is not infallible—because no one has a crystal ball—responds to a way of understanding personal finances with common sense and some experience.</p>]]></description>

According to the financial association Asufin, only 14% of mortgages granted are for a primary residence, and 56% are used as an investment. Furthermore, nearly half of all purchases are made without any type of loan. As mortgage payers, what can we expect in the coming months?</p>]]></description>
