Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about terraced houses in Malta
A terraced house in Malta is a traditional townhouse that forms part of a continuous row of houses sharing party walls. They typically feature high ceilings, stone facades, and street-facing design - characteristic of Maltese urban residential architecture.
Terraced house prices vary by location and condition: 2-bedroom (€180k-€320k), 3-bedroom (€250k-€450k), 4-bedroom (€350k-€600k). Prices are highest in Sliema and Gzira, more affordable in Birkirkara and Hamrun.
Most traditional terraced houses do not have private gardens due to their urban street-facing design. Some may have small internal courtyards or back yards. Properties with roof terraces offer outdoor space alternatives.
Party walls are shared walls between adjacent terraced houses. Maintenance responsibilities and structural issues should be clearly defined in the property deed. Any work affecting party walls requires neighbor agreement and proper permits.
Terraced houses offer independent living, traditional character, and more space than apartments, but require full property maintenance and may lack private outdoor areas. Choice depends on lifestyle preferences and budget.
Extensions are possible subject to planning permission. Common extensions include roof terraces, additional floors (if airspace rights owned), and internal reconfiguration. UCA properties have stricter regulations.
Sliema and Gzira offer premium terraced houses near amenities. Birkirkara provides the largest inventory at competitive prices. Rabat and Tarxien offer traditional character in historic settings.
