Rents in Malta are relatively low compared to house prices. That
means that landlords tend to achieve a lower return on their
investment than in other parts of Europe. Typically, rents for a
one-bedroom apartment range from around €250 to €400
while a three-bed goes from €450 to €650. However, there
are ways to increase that return and ensure your property is the
one going for €1000 or more. Here's how to turn your
property into a money-spinner.
Location still counts
Think carefully before you buy because location continues to be
key. Properties in Sliema, St Julian's, Valletta and St
Paul's Bay tend to perform better than average, giving a return
of about 4%. Of course, you'll pay a premium for these spots,
but you're unlikely to ever be short of a tenant, so the extra
investment will probably pay off.
