sites for long let appartments

there are plenty of them but none that i would recommend..... theyre mostly out of date anyway... they are rarely if ever updated.

Frank Salt Real Estate http://www.franksalt.com.mt/

ReMax http://www.remax-malta.com/

Doors http://www.doorsrealestate.com/

Dhalia www.dhalia.com/

These are local to my area, St Paul's Bay, although Dhalia, ReMax and Frank Salt are all over the island. I have used all in the past except ReMax and they have all been ok. Normal commission of 50% of cost of 1 months rent plus VAT

There is also Northern Properties which look pretty good but as toonarmy says, they are never updated!
Also, you are best to wait until Sept/Oct before looking as the summer lets will be finishing then.

Thank you very much both...I want a flat from September 17 and after from long let!so you advise me to start searching from early in September?

Anything that you want for then is going to be available now. The Maltese rent out empty properties for summer lets and they are not normally vaccant until the kids go back to school at the end of September, so while you will have some choice, there will be a lot of choice then. Mind you, it depends on where you are looking, as summer lets tend to be in the more touristy places. Maybe you could get a short let when you come over, give yourself a chance to have a look, by that time you'll have more choice???

dont take or commit to anything unless you have physically seen it - best go into a hotel for a few days first then view while here....

I agree with toon, we did the hotel and look thing, came on a Tuesday where in flat by Saturday. We use Darren from dahlia,was very helpful and only showed us ones within our price range!!
Good Luck

Hi,

As many said it is recomended to wait until September-October as it will also be cheaper. It depends also what kind of property would you like to rent, a house/flat/ maisonette/studio flat...... If you are interested I will send you a mobile number of good agents which they can help you from now. They usually ask you your budget, nationality, kind of property and length of stay. I found my flat in Qawra through an agent. But becareful about the price of property and it is better if you go with someone who has been in Malta for atleast good time.

Always a good time to resurrect this little gem from the 'usual suspects'.......appreciation, as always, to Red and toon.

Invaluable Hints and Tips on Renting.

PM toon for a comprehensive and updated list.

Cheers

From the above list, I can only recommend the Dhalia Estate Agent. I dealt with then when moving to Balzan and they have been great. If you contact their branch in St Julian's, speak with a guy called Thomas as he will look everywhere to get you the right place. He has been outstanding after my first contact and I couldn't be happier with the apartment I got through their services.

Cheerio,
Antonio
