Specifically, Santander has 81% of residential properties that guarantee loans in the EU without a label, which places it at the head of Spanish entities. On the opposite side, BBVA stands out, with only 23% of properties without a certificate, and Banco Sabadell, with 8%. In the rest of the entities this figure exceeds 60%.

The total number of loans analyzed by the Spanish bank that have a residential property guarantee is 530.3 billion euros. Of that amount, 64% (339.4 billion) do not have a certificate. This percentage rises to 81% (71.6 billion euros) for commercial mortgages, which represent 14% (88.3 billion) of the total loans analyzed.

In terms of efficiency, label E is clearly the majority, both at an aggregate level, with almost 20% of residential guarantees, and for each of the banks analyzed. The best energy efficiency labels (A, B and C) only represent 4% of total residential warranties.

On average, 15% of exposure to non-financial companies is subject to physical risks, 7% being chronic, 6% acute and 2% a combination of both.

Regarding the physical risks of loans secured by real estate (residential and commercial), 11.4% of said properties are exposed. As with exposure to non-financial companies, Santander (12.3%) and BBVA (15.5%) are above the average and Cajamar and Ibercaja, once again, report higher percentages than other large entities. similar.
