🔑 Sell yourself (private sale)
You run the sale and save the agent's fee. Monti gives you the tools — the responsibility is yours.
When you publish, your listing gathers all the information about the home — key facts, price and photos — in one place. A Malta sales-prospectus PDF is coming. Completely free.
🛡️ Important about private home sales — read in full
- Monti is an intermediary / marketplace — not a party to the transaction. We publish the listing and give you tools. We are neither seller, buyer nor estate agent, and we never handle the settlement.
- The one-year latent-defects warranty applies both ways. Under the Civil Code the buyer can claim against you for hidden defects for one year from the contract — whether you sell yourself or through an agent. Describe the property honestly and disclose known defects.
- Self-selling means no licensed agent in the middle. No PMA-licensed professional markets the property, screens buyers or steers the process for you. The notary still verifies title and publishes the deed in every sale — but negotiation, viewings and paperwork are yours alone.
- Get the EPC, and consider a pre-sale survey. The energy performance certificate is the seller's to procure and its rating belongs in the ad. A voluntary architect's survey documents the property's condition and helps prevent defect claims later.
- The final deed is signed before a notary. The notary verifies title, registers the deed and pays the duties. Never transfer money directly to a private account — the konvenju deposit is commonly held in notarial escrow.
- A valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required to sell. Malta applies the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive: the EPC must be drawn up by a licensed assessor and made available to buyers. See the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) for registered assessors.
This is information, not legal advice. If in doubt, talk to an estate agent or a lawyer.
Tips for a good ad optional
- ✓ An energy performance certificate (EPC) — seller-procured, and the rating belongs in the ad
- ✓ Planning-permit compliance — have the PA permit status ready for the buyer's notary
- ✓ The tenure paperwork — freehold or ground-rent (ċens) details — ready for the notary
💸 Settlement — how to do it safely
The final deed is signed before a notary, who handles the money side of completion. Monti never holds the money — we are an intermediary, not a party to the transaction. The notary verifies title, registers the deed and pays the duties; the konvenju deposit is commonly held in notarial escrow.
- Any Maltese notary can receive the deed — the buyer normally chooses and pays the notary (≈1%). The Notarial Council of Malta can point you to one.
- The buyer normally chooses the notary; the Notarial Council of Malta lists practising notaries.
Monti is partner-independent and only refers — we never receive or handle the settlement. Information, not legal advice.
