Malta – the right place to buy property?
If you’re planning to buy or rent real estate for the first time in Malta, why choose Malta? The key reason is likely to be the weather, which is fantastic all year round on this island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. And of course, there are those lovely beaches and the beautiful countryside to enjoy. Add to that the friendly, warm-hearted people of Malta and all the other benefits of life on this idyllic island and you should be ready to contact Engel & Völkers and our real estate agents and set an appointment to look for an apartment, a house or a villa up for sale or rent in one of our many locations in Malta.
Dividing up the map - the five regions of Malta
Malta is small, but you need to familiarise yourself with the island’s regions to know where to start searching for your dream-come-true apartment, house or villa. Northern Malta is mainly a coastal area with excellent beaches and a pulsating nightlife, making it an attractive place to buy or rent a property, while the southern region is rather more sedate with a village type of lifestyle, and there are a host of attractive properties on offer for purchase or for rent in our Engel & Völkers property portfolio. The eastern region’s key attractions are shopping and entertainment, with plenty of exclusive real estate buying and renting opportunities. The western region is known for its beautiful countryside, its colourful history and its rich architecture, with a wide range of real estate buying opportunities. The central region has several preferred residential locations with select properties for sale or for rent through our expert real estate agents.
Rental options in Malta
We suggest that you first rent a house or an apartment after moving to Malta because this will give you sufficient time to settle in and get to know the island and the real estate market. To speed up the process and ensure a smooth transition let our local Engel & Völkers real estate experts help you find the rental option that best suits your needs and let us take care of all the formalities involved in a rental contract in light of the recent changes to legislation regarding the renting of residential property. Our full service includes registering the rental contract on your behalf and compiling the inventory of the contents of your rental property.
Selling or renting out your property
As a property owner in Malta, you may want to sell it or rent it out. With a strong economy and robust demand for exclusive properties, this may be a good time to act. By enlisting the help of Engel & Völkers you can benefit from our unique global network with access to potential buyers or renters of select properties. Our full-service package will help you from your first contact with us through all the interim stages, such as a free and non-binding property appraisal, an individually tailored and exclusive marketing concept, an exclusive property brochure, etc., right up to the closing of the deal, including our exclusive after-sales service.
