• 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.
