Buy a Home in Naxxar, Malta

On a typical resale, expect stamp duty on the transfer, notary fees and agent commission, usually paid by the seller. Properties without a valid development permit or with unfinished construction are a known issue, so your lawyer should check permits. Maltese homes often are finished to shell or semi-finished standard, with plumbing and tiling to be completed, so ask what is included. Rental yields depend on location and condition, and the central towns appeal more to long-term tenants than to tourists.

Naxxar has a parish church square, the 19th-century Palazzo Parisio and the Malta Stock Exchange's regional presence is nearby in Valletta. It is located between the Mosta and Mellieħa roads and close to Bahar ic-Caghaq, a seaside area with a shopping mall. A short drive reaches Sliema and St Julian's. The area is quieter than the coast, and buyers pay a premium for larger flats and houses. Expats, families and Maltese upgraders are typical purchasers.

Parking and traffic are a real consideration across Malta.

Non-EU buyers usually need an AIP permit for a second property, and minimum price thresholds apply. A notary handles the deed after a promise-of-sale agreement with a deposit. Stamp duty is typically 5% for resale (approx.; verify locally).
