Notes for buyers
- Harbour-view apartments from 220k euro for 2-bed; restored townhouses uphill from 350k.
- Fort Chambray fringe carries SDA-grade title in part; non-EU buyers should verify the exact regime per unit.
- Ferry-commuter demand is real and steady; long-let yields concentrate on units within walking distance of the terminal.
- Outside the SDA pockets: non-EU buyers need an AIP permit and Gozo minimum-price floors apply.
- Visitor footfall is intense at peak ferry arrivals; this is a feature for retail uses but a noise factor for harbour-front bedrooms.
