Proprjeta

Proprjeta is an estate agency built around local branches. Its main office is at 156 Triq il-Karmnu in Fgura, in the south-east of the island near Paola and Marsascala, and it has further offices in Birkirkara and Kirkop. It handles property for sale and to rent, residential and commercial, and its listings are exclusive properties only.

UK buyers and renters will find it listed with the island's other estate agents in Malta. The agency covers localities from Valletta to Gozo, so it can be a useful contact whether you want a flat in a town centre or a house of character in a village.

Homes and commercial property

The search on the Proprjeta website covers an unusually wide range of property types. Residential choices include apartments, maisonettes, penthouses, terraced houses, townhouses, bungalows, villas, farmhouses and houses of character, as well as studios, duplexes and basement apartments. Plots of land, garages and car spaces are also listed.

On the commercial side the listings include offices, shops and showrooms, warehouses, workshops, stores and catering premises. You can filter by price, number of bedrooms and number of bathrooms, and by locality, which includes areas such as Sliema, St Julian's, Mellieħa, Qawra, Mosta, Mdina, Rabat and the Gozo villages of Victoria, Nadur and Marsalforn.

Some Maltese terms are worth knowing. A maisonette is a flat with its own entrance, often on the ground or an upper floor of a small block, a house of character is an older traditional property, and airspace is the right to build above an existing building. Reading the property type on each listing helps you narrow the search quickly. The agency's search also lets you set minimum and maximum prices, so a first enquiry can be as simple as naming a locality, a budget and the number of bedrooms you want.

If you are weighing up a move, our guide to relocating to Malta and Malta tax guide for UK nationals cover the background, and the agency can show you what is currently on the market.

New developments

Proprjeta also sells its own projects. Current developments on its website include Emerald Court in Fgura, Onyx Court in Marsascala, Casal Court and Amber Court in Paola, Opal Suites in St Julian's, Bolheim Court in Żejtun, Agatha Court in Żabbar, Ruby Court in Siġġiewi and several groups of townhouses in Tarxien, Għargħur, Gudja and Żabbar.

Buying off plan is a different process from buying a resale home, so it is worth taking independent legal advice. Our directory lists firms such as Advocates Primei, a Malta law firm, and 3a Malta, an accountancy practice for tax and accounting questions.

Where the agency works

Most of Proprjeta's teams are rooted in the south and centre of Malta. Branch teams are named for Fgura, Marsascala, Birkirkara, Żebbuġ, Kirkop, Mosta and Birżebbuġa, with a management team that includes directors Colin Polidano and Kirsten Axisa, project managers, an executive secretary and two photographers.

That location suits buyers who want to be near the old Three Cities across the harbour, the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum in Paola or the south-coast sights around the Blue Grotto. Those who prefer island life can start with the Gozo travel guide, and city-lovers can read about the capital, Valletta.
