British Expat Forum

My wife & I have decided to move to Malta as soon as we sell our apt
and we are coming to buy an apt.
I have heard about how expensive the electricity and water in Malta.
Can anyone let me know what is the average bill per month for electricity & water. Is there other things to pay apart from electric & water, example house tax etc
Pl name some of the save areas to live and also area that always
flooding during raining season
Hope to hearing from you soon
Thanks
