    Identified Question

    "How is the mortgage loan amortization calculated when selling an autonomous fraction in horizontal property?"

    📋 Context & Applicability

    Amortization must be carried out proportionally to the value of the fraction sold in relation to the total loan amount.

    The establishment of horizontal property does not extinguish credit obligations but may affect the manner in which they are amortized.

    • Calculate the value of the fraction in relation to the total property.
    • Determine the portion of the loan to be amortized based on the sale.

    Technical Checklist

    • Verify the total amount of the loan.
    • Calculate the value of the fraction to be sold.
    • Determine the proportional amortization.
    Consult the bank to verify the amortization conditions.
    Consider the possibility of renegotiating the loan.
    Check if there are specific clauses in the loan contract.

    💡 Practical Example

    Scenario: Sale of a fraction of a building with a loan of €100,000 and fraction value of €30,000.

    Calculation: Amortization = (30,000 / 100,000) * Total Loan.

    Result: Proportional amortization of 30% of the loan.
