Commuting from Mellieha by Pier89
Hi all, I am about to relocate to Malta with my family (wife and 1 year old baby) and after doing plenty of research we are considering living in Mellieha. :) My only concern is commuting to work as I will be working in Sliema from 9:00 to ...
Yeah, most of the time, you should be OK on that route - the coast road is pretty clear until you hit the Pembroke / St Andrews area - it starts to back up as the rush hour kicks in and that is probably where you will spend the most time ... so ... Read More

Hi Folks, I've currently got a Maltese limited company, with a UK based holding company, so I can take advantage of the tax benefits of being a non dom. With Brexit, I now need to close the UK company, and set something up in an EU country (or ...
Indeed ... but they have an exemption (don't know why) so can be used for my purposes. Read More

Building over our penthouse by dl232022
Hello all, My wife and I bought a modest penthouse in Marsaskala about 10 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed using the property as a family holiday home and have made lots of Maltese and expat friends here. Our plan was now to retire here and ...
I've been through the process ... but a bit more indirectly. A flat we own had a penthouse above it - then last year they got permits to split the penthouse into 2 apartments and build a new penthouse on top. The whole process was a nightmare ... Read More
Roof insulation
I'm trying to find out what insulation material is best for a typical flat roof here in Malta. I have a quote for 50mm polystyrene sheets, and I'm told this is a lot cheaper than having the foam process carried out - but I've still to ... Read More

Sorry to hear of your situation - the current building frenzy is inconveniencing a lot of people ... I think you will really need to speak to a reliable notary who can confirm for sure what your situation is based on the contract - and even then ... Read More
Walking/pavements by jklm.11
Hi, I'm considering moving to Malta soon, and one of the key priorities for me is that I prefer not to spend much time in commuting and transports. Malta seems like an ideal place in the small size scale and according to the maps the distances ...
Yeah, in Summer, during the day, jogging is something you'd want to limit to very early in the morning, or evening - even walking gets too hot. However, you just have to shift to water mode .. the summer months are best for swimming or any other ... Read More

Iv been visiting Malta for a couple of months every year for the past 10 years now.. My Partner is Maltese and we stay with her family in Attard when we visit.. We are getting married in Malta in June 2019 and are looking in to buying a property ...
Same here .. I doubt that the tunnel will be built in the next 10 years, if at all, and I hope it doesn't ... We own property in Malta which we rent out, and used to be landlords in London before selling up and moving over here. We've done ... Read More
Inflated insurance ... by lastminuteman
Found out by chance while trying to get car insurance that the price for me as a "foreigner" is about €200 more than for a local .... Anyone else had the same issue? Is this actually allowed ... EU and all that ... ?! The ...
Yeah, it was car insurance - it was very suspicious, since the quote for me included 5 years no claims, but my wife had zero years, and her quote was much less .... and when we raised this, they awkwardly agreed to give me the same price, like they ... Read More

Best areas to live close to San Anton and San Andreas by Anouschka Venter
Hi there, We are coming over in June 2018 on fact finding mission to see if Malta could be our next home. We're coming from South Africa and we'd like our boys to attend an English school. My husband works from home so we'll try to find ...
I can't comment too much on bullying - I've read about it in posts on this forum, so I would say to have a search and see if there is a pattern with the school in question ... It's not been an issue so far for us, but we're still in ... Read More
