Street parking is hard in Sliema, St Julian’s, Gżira and Valletta, which makes a garage or car space a valuable asset — both for daily life and for resale.
Types
- Lock-up garages in the basement of an apartment block.
- Car spaces in a shared car park.
- Street-level garages — sometimes large enough for storage or a workshop.
What to check
- Title — is it on the same deed as the apartment or a separate one?
- Permitted use — garages converted into rooms or offices often lack permits.
- Access — ramp, door width, turning space, and any shared rights of way.
- Common parts — contributions to the car park’s maintenance.
- Size — measure; some older garages are tight for modern cars.
List the garage clearly in the promise of sale.
