It is time. It is time for you to leave your old favourite band posters, those shelves filled with books from uni, and frankly that questionable smell that lingered in your old room behind you and spread your wings towards a brand-new place you can call your own.
That’s right, we Maltese tend to overstay our welcome at mum and dad’s for a while longer than our European counterparts (how can you say no to free Wi-Fi, free laundry, and that utterly glorious imqarrun il-forn?), but when we do pluck up the courage to move out, we all agree that we absolutely love it!
But where do you start from? How can you be sure that you’re choosing the right property that really fits your needs, style and ultimately budget?
Well, the property gig has been on everyone’s mind for quite a while, and for good reason. With a crane happily popping up at every other turn, the available property is bountiful in Malta, but they are not all born equal. That is what YITAKU is all about, as it will help you have the widest possible view of the market, before committing to buying a property.
There are a thousand and one factors that go into play here, and it is easy to lose track of the game. If you want to know more about the journey to home ownership - Click here
You will have heard how property is often about location, location, location! Yes, simply having the name of a town as opposed to another on your mailing address, will make a difference on the bottom line.
And then there’s another obvious factor to consider, which is size – yepp it matters here too – sorry! Naturally, Malta being so tiny, the larger or more rooms in a property, the more you will be expected to pay for it – simple law of supply and demand, so that’s something else to keep in mind.
YITAKU is a revolutionary product that will help you make sense of all these factors, in an easy and intuitive manner.
Once you download the YITAKU app on your phone, you will be able to search for properties which are on the market, either directly from homeowners or agents, without paying any commission even when you list properties – Here’s how.
YITAKU allows you to create alerts according to a determined set of criteria that will let you know when the property of your dreams hits the market, so you’ll be the absolute first to check it out – beating the competition! Once a listing in your criteria is added to the database a notification pops up and you can be the first one viewing that property you’ve been searching for.
That’s where you can then chat directly with the owner or the estate agent in charge, and set a meeting for viewing. That’s where you start thinking of finishings, décor and all the fun stuff!
YITAKU will help you have a better idea of your real purchasing power with a Home loan calculator, which allows one to compare home loans from different banks, telling you how much you are likely to be allowed to borrow from a bank to purchase your dream home and even calculate your monthly repayments – that’s a headache no one enjoys!
