This section aims to aid with understanding the Code of Good Practices (hereinafter, CGP), in order to reduce the financial burden on middle-class mortgage borrowers who are at risk of vulnerability due to the rise in interest rates.
The Code of Good Practices covers a range of measures for borrowers who meet a certain set of criteria in order to be classed as "at risk of vulnerability". This gives them the right to assign their mortgage and extend the term, with the option of freezing repayments for 12 months or switching from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate.
By adhering to the above-mentioned Code, Banco Santander voluntarily accepts responsibility for applying the measures contained therein.
Next, we will outline the most important points to bear in mind and how to proceed with managing an application.
