Maltese Real Estate Website Descriptions vs. The Truth

Article Featured Image

Property searching can be fun if you’ve got the patience of a saint. For the rest of us, it is a long, tedious process of anticlimactic disappointments. The supposedly ‘sought-after’ area advertised on the real estate website turned out to be a house nested between Carmen il-ġellieda and Nancy in-nittiena. As for the penthouse you really liked…

‘X’penthaws? Dak ilna li għamilna il-promise of sale!’

Here are but a few examples of what is listed on Maltese property websites and what they really mean:

1. ‘Some Maintenance Needed’

i.e. ‘Ħa jaqa’ s-saqaf bro’

Dengerrr

2. ‘No Detail Was Spared’

i.e. Ħa ssib xeba bolavostri u ljuni

3. ‘With Some Imagination, This Property Could Be Converted Into A Charming Family Home.’ 

i.e. Għandek bżonn ponn magic mushrooms.

Exactly how much imagination are we talking about here? Lewis Carroll kind of imagination?
