Buying or renting a home in Malta can feel overwhelming. With so many listings, agents, and property portals out there, it’s hard to know where to begin. The good news? Technology has made the process much easier. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best ways to find property in Malta in 2025 — from traditional methods to modern apps like Yitaku.
1. Traditional Ways to Find Property in Malta
Before apps and online platforms, property searches mostly relied on:
Estate agents – still very popular, offering professional support and market insights.
Local adverts & noticeboards – once a staple, now less common but still used in smaller towns and villages.
Word of mouth – many properties are still rented or sold through personal networks.
While these methods can still work, they’re often slower and give you access to fewer options.
2. Using Property Portals & Apps
Today, most buyers and renters in Malta start their search online. The most efficient way is through property apps, which bring together listings from different sources in one place.
Maltapark – useful for private rental listings but limited for serious buyers.
PropertyMarket.com.mt – aggregates listings from multiple agents.
Indomio Malta – part of an international network, popular with expats.
Yitaku – Malta’s first all-in-one property app (see below).
