Could someone help me translate the above phrase? I'm not quite sure of its intended meaning. It appears in a text about purchasing "time share" style apartments. Thanks for your help.
Las hipotecas son del 50% sobre el precio de la compra, aunque se puede aumentar o reducir en función de cada caso.

Mortgages are extended for 50% of the purchase price
in other words, you need to put 50% down and can borrow the other 50%.

Sounds more natural to me - although in a sales context.
