Getting a mortgage in Malta

Real estate in Malta is not cheap compared to other European countries, but it is quite easy to get a mortgage here. Since the country is one of the most densely populated, foreigners have certain restrictions on buying property - one family can buy only one apartment. At the same time, it is not recommended to buy a property in Malta to rent it out: the apartment is either located in a luxury complex where rent prices are sky-high, or you need to obtain a special permit from the authorities to rent it.

Foreigners have the right to take out a mortgage with a local bank, but the authorities scrutinise documents carefully, so it is worth contacting specialists to prepare the package to avoid wasting time and effort and being rejected. The growth in property values here is 10% per year, and the mortgage is a maximum of 4.5%. So the benefits are obvious.

Where are the highest mortgage rates in the EU?

According to the Credit Information Bureau, Poland has the highest mortgage rates in the European Union. As of September 2024, about 4 million residents of the Republic of Poland have an active mortgage loan.

First of all, it is worth noting that most mortgages in Poland require a down payment, meaning that a person must work for several years to accumulate a down payment before obtaining a mortgage. In general, the down payment in Poland is 30% of the property value. That is, if a typical apartment costs 300 thousand zlotys, a person has to save 60 thousand, which is very difficult.

Earlier, we told you that Ukrainians are buying housing in Poland. To learn more about this and what types of housing are most often chosen, follow the link.

Poland has the highest mortgage interest rates among all EU countries (7.90%), so you will need to pay it back for decades after receiving it, and pay the bank an amount several times higher than the principal.
