Refined Living

QUALITY

The distinguishing factor of a great home!

QUALITY. SERVICE. EXPERTISE.

Editorial As we witness the end of summer 2020 getting closer and live through a new norm where masks, social distancing and sanitizing policies are part of everybody′s new look and way of life, it may come as strange to many to learn that the past couple of months have seen record number of property sales on the Maltese islands. The property market has always proven to be extremely resilient and so far is living up to its reputation.

The new covid-19 tax measures which are in force up to the end of March 2021 see favourable tax and stamp duty rates in place to entice property buyers and sellers to conclude transactions and this has surely helped. But the one factor that consistently keeps the property machine functioning fully, is investors′ belief that property in Malta is a wise, secure and solid investment.

Over the past months we have seen a considerable increase for quality properties. Generous living spaces and outdoor areas or garden and pools are sought-after like never before. People want to enjoy their homes if they need to stay in and also want to make sure that the home is comfortable enough to be enjoyable at all times of the year. This fact in itself will surely see developers invest in better quality developments that meet these new wants and needs.

Check out some of the top quality properties that have made it to the market and enjoy browsing this issue of Refined Living - and why not flip through past editions? We remain a call away should you wish to discuss anything property-related.

Enjoy and stay safe
