San Gwann Real Estate: Central Malta Apartments

San Gwann is close to Mater Dei Hospital and the University of Malta, and sits a short drive from the nightlife of St Julian's and the shopping of Sliema. It lacks a sea frontage but offers retail parks, good bus links and quick access to Birkirkara and Valletta.

Tenants are professionals, medical staff and students, so the rental pool is deep. Compare the central town of Birkirkara if you prefer older streets and a parish centre.

Non-EU purchasers usually need an Acquisition of Immovable Property permit unless buying within a designated scheme, and are normally limited to one residence. Stamp duty is typically around 5%, with a notary and agent on top; the notary will run searches on title and planning.

With so many apartments, check the condition of common parts, the airspace rights and any roof-level development nearby. Our Malta consultation guide gives the process, Malta financing explains lending, and the Malta page covers more towns.
