Questions-réponses sur l'immobilier à Malte
How long does it take to sell a property in Malta?
En bref
Once a buyer is found, the legal process from promise of sale to final deed usually runs about three months, which is the standard konvenju period. Finding the buyer is the variable part and depends on pricing, locality and property type.
Le détail
The Maltese sale has two stages. The promise of sale, the konvenju, is the binding preliminary agreement, and it is typically given three months to run, sometimes longer where a bank loan or a permit is involved. That window exists so the notary can carry out searches on title and the buyer can arrange financing. The final deed follows at the end of it.
The marketing stage before that has no fixed length. Asking price relative to comparable listings is the strongest lever a seller controls: property advertised meaningfully above the local median tends to sit, and then reduce. We publish asking price data by locality and property type so you can position against the market rather than against a hoped for number.

What is the fastest a sale can complete in Malta?
A cash purchase with clean title can complete more quickly than the usual three month konvenju period, since there is no financing to arrange, but the notary still needs time to complete searches.
Why has my property not sold in Malta?
Most often the asking price sits above comparable listings in the same locality. Compare your price per square metre against the local median before concluding that demand is the problem.
