- Affordable and rentable properties for sale, which can be rented out year round.
- Links to Tunisia, Sicily and mainland Italy by ferry.
- Beautiful beaches, history and great food.
- Now a member of the E.U. which is likely to result in increased investment in Malta.
These are all valid reasons for moving to Malta. You will be able to be able to get more much for your money in terms of property if moving to Malta and the education is indeed, considered to be better than in the UK. People generally also speak English (although it is advised you make every effort to learn Maltese - so that you will experience more of the local culture).
So what things should you also be careful about before moving to Malta? Consider that:
- It may not be easy for you to get a job in Malta.
- Not everyone will speak English
- Malta is very crowded, with this country being the 3rd most populous countries in the world
- Malta is very small. For some people too small.
If you are planning to buy real estate, property or land in Malta, these things should not put you off. But you should be aware of these things. You might also want to consider the news concerning the recent heat wave which has swept Europe and produced one of the hottest summers in history in Europe. It has been so hot that a study says that the heat could actually begin to have a negative impact on tourism in the future; and this could include for Malta.
The recent study, which was created by a joint British & Dutch group, conclude that global warming is creating temperatures that will mean that by 2050, summers such as the heat wave this summer in Europe, will become commonplace. This in turn will mean that people in Malta, and other Mediterranean countries, will start spending holidays in places such as England, so that they can avoid the heat. Tourism in other swords will see Northern European countries become more and more popular. |
