AE Legal Contributes to the 2025 Multilaw Real Estate Guide

The latest Multilaw Real Estate Guide features AE Legal’s contribution on Malta’s property laws. This international guide offers key legal in`sights for anyone navigating the real estate market across multiple jurisdictions. 

Our submission covers the essentials of property acquisition and ownership in Malta, with a focus on: 

  • Acquisition rules for non-residents, including the process of obtaining an Acquisition of Immovable Property (AIP) permit 
  • Stamp duty and related costs associated with buying property in Malta 
  • Registration requirements for ensuring ownership rights are legally recognised 
  • Transparency around ownership, including what information is publicly available 

Whether you’re an individual purchasing a second home or a company acquiring property for commercial use, the guide provides a clear outline of the legal framework in Malta.
