South Eastern · NSO monthly data
L-Imqabba saw 107 final deeds of sale registered in the last twelve months, with 79 promise-of-sale agreements signed over the same period. Deed activity is up 84.5% year-on-year; promises of sale (a six-month leading indicator for deeds) are up 5.3%. Data is sourced from NSO Malta's monthly Residential Property Transactions release (NR-142) and runs to July 2026.
Within the period on file, the busiest single month for L-Imqabba was October 2025 with 26 registered deeds. Malta's market historically peaks around December — the Q4 deeds rush in the months before the seasonal stamp-duty resets — and L-Imqabba broadly follows that rhythm.

Promise-of-sale agreements ("konvenju") are signed roughly six months before the final deed of sale is registered, so the gap between the POS line and the deeds line on the chart is the visible pipeline. L-Imqabba currently has fewer promises than deeds across the rolling year, suggesting the next twelve months should be quieter than the last.
L-Imqabba is part of the South Eastern district in NSO's locality classification. For the Malta-wide picture across all six districts, see Pedament's Malta property in numbers guide.

NSO Malta recorded 107 final deeds of sale in L-Imqabba over the last twelve months on file (release: July 2026).
A promise of sale ("konvenju") is the binding pre-contract a buyer signs before the final deed of sale. NSO publishes the count of these monthly. Because deeds register about six months after promises, the POS line on the chart is a forward-looking indicator of where deed activity is heading.
NSO publishes per-locality deed counts but not per-locality declared sale values — only the national average is released. Locality-level prices on third-party portals are based on asking prices, not declared deed values.
Pedament re-imports each NSO monthly release (currently NR-142) within roughly a week of publication. The "data as of" stamp at the top of the page shows the latest month covered.
