Malta is a small group of islands (only three are inhabited) of around 465,000 people. UK buyers will find many similarities between the countries, due in large part to Malta's status as a British possession from 1800 to 1964.
Although a popular destination for tourists and family holidays, Malta has never seen as much interest from British buyers as its neighbours. This is largely due to the limited availability of property on the islands - perhaps unsurprisingly!
That said, the country boasts hot summers and mild winters, three UNESCO world Heritage sites, incredible beaches and, of course, cafes and restaurants galore. It is a fantastic destination for all types of buyers, including families and retirees.
As with all property searches it is important to understand the buying process to ensure you are not hit with unexpected costs or documentation.
