What
are the negative things about Malta?
The pace of life can be slow and this does not suit
everyone. For others this may be seen as the reason
for wanting to buy property here. Also in August, many
areas of Malta the country almost grinds to a halt.
Once again this is positive if you are in Malta as you
can relax for the month but if buying property, it may
be best to try and avoid this month for administrative
matters.
