Buyer notes
- Houses of character on the harbour command a premium; expect 380k to 650k euro for 2 to 3 bedrooms.
- Sunday market footfall is intense; harbour-front owners trade quiet for the strongest air-bnb yields in the area.
- Power station legacy at Delimara is decommissioned; air quality concerns of the 2010s no longer apply.
- Outside any SDA: non-EU buyers need an AIP permit and minimum-price floors apply.
- Long-let demand is thin year-round; this is a second-home and short-let market.
