Hi Andy,

My husband is also ex army and we are moving to Malta in the New
Year (only just found this site)
The schooling is good although I believe it is private so you would
be paying for it.
The main thing I do know about property is that as with the UK it is
rising - very quickly - I do not know if this will change once they
are in the EU - it may even make it go up! We have been going to
Malta for 7 years and are going to rent when we get there so that we
can house hunt at our leisure rather than trying to choose in a 2
week holiday.
I do not know anything about business so I'm afraid I can't help you
there.
We have good friends there and my husband has found a job so we get
as much info from them, as we can, as we think of the things we need
to ask them we call them ( a £315 phone bill to show for it)!!
If you want ot ask any more questions feel free and I will try and
help.
Regards
Jo
