What it costs to buy

Enter a price to see the main costs on top of it: stamp duty and the notary.

Stamp dutyAbout 5% — 1% at the promise of sale, the rest at completion
€50,000
Notary1–2%, for the title searches and the deed
€10,000 – €20,000
Taxes and notary, on top of the price (estimate)
€60,000 – €70,000

An estimate at the standard stamp duty rate; some buyers pay less. When you sign the promise of sale you pay a 10% deposit — €100,000 here — which counts towards the price. Surveys, permits and financing are extra; your notary confirms the final figures. Our own fee is agreed in writing before we start and paid only at completion — see our fees.

Buying from abroad

Buying from the US.

Can Americans buy in Malta?
Yes. Unless the property is in one of a few designated developments, buyers from outside the EU need a purchase permit (the AIP). We prepare it with your notary.
Is there an MLS?
No. Listings are spread across many agencies, and many good homes are never advertised at all. We search all of it for you.
How does buying work?
You agree a price and sign a promise of sale (the konvenju), paying a 10% deposit. The notary then checks the title, which takes about three months. You sign the final deed and receive the keys.
What does it cost on top of the price?
Stamp duty of about 5%, the notary at 1–2%, and our fee, agreed in writing before we start and paid at completion. If you plan to borrow, tell us early: Maltese mortgages for non-residents work differently from US ones.

Why buyers choose us.

Why us

We represent you. Only you.

In Malta, the agent showing you a property is usually paid by the seller. When you hire us, we act for you alone — never for the seller of the same property — and we put that in writing before you see anything.

We search the whole of Malta and Gozo, including homes that are never advertised. You have one dedicated advisor from the first call to the keys, who answers their own phone.

If we are not the right fit for your search, we will tell you on the first call and suggest who is. Talk to us →

Buying abroad carries risks no agent can remove. These three we take on ourselves, and they are written into your agreement.

  • The Clean Title Guarantee — If we miss something a proper search should have caught, the fee comes back.
