There are many advantages to buying a property in Malta, whether to live in, as a holiday home, or even as an investment. Anybody seeking a peaceful way of life, a home in the sun and an oppurtunity to benefit from a tax regime where the maximum rate is 35% (non EU citizens with a permament residency permit pay a flat rate of 15% ) , should give Malta number one consideration.
