The Costs

When buying a property the purchaser incurs certain costs which are involved in the process.

Stamp Duties

When the property being purchased is to be used as the purchaser’s primary place of residence, stamp duty is charged at 3.5% on the first €150,000 and 5% on the remaining value.

For any other purchase, the standard rate of Stamp Duty in Malta is 5%

This is due to the value of the property and excludes the value of the furniture and fittings.
