Here is a list of the available property types on the island and we are sure there is something to suit anyone’s taste, budget and needs.
These are the most common types of residences on the island, and they range from studios ideal as a bachelor pad or pied-a-terre to large seafront apartments or penthouses with spacious terraces and stunning sea views. One could opt to purchase within a small independent block or a unit that forms part of a large complex which usually offers communal pools or/and gardens. Maisonettes are an apartment variation which also forms part of a block but would have a separate front door, thereby providing more privacy to the owner. Furthermore, these are situated on the ground floor, and they usually come with a back yard or garden while the top floor unit would have its own roof terrace.
These would either be detached or semi-detached and usually come with surrounding gardens and a private or communal pool. The difference between a bungalow and a villa is that a bungalow is spread over one floor while a villa is split into two levels. These are considered to be luxury properties and are quite large – usually built on about 1/3 of an acre of land.
Terraced houses are modern property types built over two floors and usually with at least a 6m-frontage, garage, back and front garden or yard. The prices vary considerably according to the location and standard of finish.
Buying a terraced house in Malta could be a great investment, enjoying a large outdoor area to entertain together with the convenience of having a house without being disturbed by neighbours.

When converted, these properties include modern finishes required for a contemporary home while still retaining the original features these properties have to offer. These could include wooden beams, mill rooms, wine cellars, central courtyards, stone arches and more. These properties are usually located within villages or in the countryside.

Their value is further increased due to their coveted location and high finishes.
