Living and working in Qormi (or nearby areas) by Mina155
Hello everyone, I have just joined the forum. I am moving to Malta end of August as I found a job there. As my office is in Qormi I was thinking in living somewhere nearby (somewhere that would not take me more than half an hour commute ...
I feel that Zebbug would be better than Attard or Naxxar, but you must look at a map with reference to where you work. Which other village is within walking distance of where you work. What buses serve your place of work and where do they go? If ... Read More

There are many things to consider when looking for accommodation, apart from being close to your work, so take your time. Renting through a contact rather than an agent may be cheaper. Maybe someone at work will be able to help you. If you intend ... Read More
How are you coping in the heat? by GozoMo
How are you coping in this heat? I am sitting in a lovely air conditioned room I don't know how we would manage without it.
We have a 4th floor corner apartment in St Thomas Bay, Marsaskala. No AC only pedestal fans. Leave windows/doors open and get a through draught. Close blinds when sun shining into rooms. With current nightly breezes we don't need to use fans. ... Read More
Marsascala - What's it like living there, good & bad points by Rocking Ken
Hi All, I am intending to make Marsascala my home when we get to Malta soon but want to get a feel for it first. If anyone have first-hand experience of living there your input would be invaluable. Many thanks Ken
Agreed. Unfortunately most of the ground floor rooms are used to dump garbage - fetid and no doubt rat infested. Read More

No one is supposed to enter the property but people do as can be seen from the graffiti and the people swimming !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is private property and the building is unsafe. Such a pity as it occupies one of the best locations in M'skala ... Read More

The "unfinished" building was apparently the popular 5* Jerma Palace hotel, left to deteriorate when the troubles started in Lybia about 7 years ago. Another blot on the landscape!! Read More

You may find a 2br, apt for that rental but not many 3br. Prices are going up as owners think that MSK is becoming popular and they are hoping to make a killing with the new education establishment proposed for this area. Yet there are many empty ... Read More

We've been here, St Thomas Bay, for over 3 years and never regretted our decision. Wouldn't live anywhere else. Close to beaches, walks, nature. Good bus services, local shops, eateries, friendly people (locals and expats) - what more do you ... Read More
House prices rising by Adamazin
Hi Everybody, We are moving over to Malta in December. We have been gathering information since about March. Back then it looked like in December we would manage to find a place to rent for around 500Euro per month without bills. Now it ...
To revert to the original post - yes prices are rising and dramatically. The apartment below us became vacant because the landlord wanted to increase the rent as he'd been told by the estate agents that he could ask 150euro more!! Maybe they are ... Read More

But every time you want to visit Malta for entertainment or go to the airport you have to use the ferry. If the weather is bad, especially in winter, you may have to wait or it may be cancelled! Read More
