INTERVIEW WITH SANDRO CHETCUTI.
CHAIRMAN OF PROPERTY MALTA FOUNDATION
Malta’s real estate market presents significant advantages for international investors eyeing at the European Union. Speaking on these positive aspects, Sandro Chetcuti, Chairman of Property Malta Foundation, discusses the attractive returns and the ongoing improvements in the sector.
«We engage with policymakers and investors to promote sustainable building practices and drive future growth. We encourage Gulf investors to explore the diverse opportunities in Malta’s real estate sector.»
“Malta offers exceptional conditions for property investment,” notes Chetcuti. Investors can expect robust returns in Malta’s property market. “Rental yields for good quality properties in Malta ranges between 6-7%, with capital appreciation of 5-8% annually” he adds.
Such returns stem from high demand for both rental and property sales as the population increases through migration every year. Indeed, apart from being a beautiful Mediterranean island with 300 days of sunshine and pleasant climate throughout the year, Malta’s favorable tax regime and residency programs add value to its attractiveness for foreign nationals willing to relocate as well as for international investors. Chetcuti adds: “Promising tax reliefs and residency schemes enhance the appeal of investing in this country greatly.”
Despite its size Malta presents a wide range of real estate options. As Chetcuti mentions, upscale luxury choices are available in areas like St. George’s Bay, Rabat and Smart City while there is also a demand for properties in established locations such as Santa Maria Estates or the Three Cities, known for their historical allure.
The real estate industry in Malta has seen an increase in quality standards.
«We emphasize sustainable development, modern amenities, and high construction standards,» notes Chetcuti. «Our commitment to quality ensures that investors get the best value for their money.»
