Why doesn't Gozo Direct Real Letting Agents not have as many Rental properties listed as the rest of the local estate agents?
You may have noticed already Gozo Direct does not have the largest selection of residential rental and long let properties on the market, and there is a very good reason for this. We hand pick the best properties and the best owners who have a good track record of being fair to their tenants by the way of the price they charge for their properties and the service they give.
You may have noticed that some Reals Estate agents in Malta and Gozo will not remove the properties that have been let or sold to give the impression they have a lot of properties on their books. When you call these Real Estate agents the answer may be “sorry that apartment or house has been let but we do have an alternative”.
At Gozo Direct we do not agree with this type of tactic.
The Difference between Short Lets and Long Lets Property Rental in Gozo (Malta).
You may have had a holiday in Malta or Gozo and instead of staying in a hotel you opted for a holiday let or as we say in Malta (Gozo a short Let). The difference between long Letting Property rental is that unlike short-let accommodation, long-let prices do not include the bills such as water, electricity, and gas.
For a long Term Rental the bills are normally paid by the tenant in a long let rental lease. The price will be calculated on a monthly rate, but the price usually takes into consideration the duration of the rental period.
Rates will be according to the type of property for long term rental, location, the standard and the facilities and of course the number of bedrooms.
There are many factors that can affect the rental rate of your Long Let Property Rental. Such as does the property have a swimming pool? If so does the property include the maintenance of the pool, chemicals, and cleaning etc. Does the Long term rental (Long Let property) have air conditioning if so, is it charged separately?
