Marvellous Malta
Forward thinking
Malta is an archipelago of islands in the Mediterranean and has a long-standing affiliation with the UK. Malta gained independence from the UK on 21 September 1964 but is home to many thousands of British expats to this day. The country is also one of the smallest sovereign nations in the EU and is best known for its sunny climate and warm weather year-round.
As a country, Malta is forward-thinking with leading first-world-standards when it comes to technology and education and this tiny but mighty nation’s real estate sector is one of the most buoyant in the whole of Europe. Maltese real estate consistently delivers an excellent measure of capital appreciation that regularly outperforms many other traditional investments.
Getting to Malta could not be easier: its about a 3-hour flight from the UK and, to further ensure a smooth visit to the islands, English is one of the official languages of Malta, PLUS the Maltese drive on the same side of the road as in the UK.
