What are rental yields in Malta?
Last updated 26 september 2026
In short
Gross rental yields in Malta typically run between 3% and 6%, calculated from median asking rents against median asking sale prices by locality on Darscover.
The detail
Rental yield is the annual rent a property earns as a percentage of its price. Smaller apartments in high demand rental areas tend to yield more than large family homes, because rents do not scale up as steeply as prices. Areas with strong tenant demand and lower entry prices usually top the yield table.
The figures here are gross yields from asking prices: they do not deduct service charges, maintenance, agency fees, income tax or void periods, so a realistic net yield is lower. Use them to compare areas, then model a specific property in the rental yield calculator.
