Utilities in Gozo
In preparation of our potential move to Gozo, would some kind person give me some idea on what utilities companies I need to connect with once I am living there.
For example:

For example:
- Gas
- Electricity
- Telephone
- TV
- Water
- Rates (rubbish)
- what else?

Re: Utilities in Gozo
Good link but the rent is WAY off. For that money you're getting a high end apt (which is good!) but there are cheaper alternatives. Check Frank Salt Real Estate Malta for rent

Re: Utilities in Gozo
Agree with you Gozit & you have provided a wealth of information on Gozo & Malta to these threads
The link that I posted in post 3 is an average for the whole of Malta including Gozo. Of course living in Valetta or St Julians, rent is more expensive than other parts of the two islands, including your lifestyle choices.
From my own research & with folks that I know that live or have lived there - A retired senior Brit couple on OAP living in Malta all year round without any side trips or excursions to Italy, somewhere else or to visit the UK should budget in 2014 money approx €1000/mth (£750) flat across 12 mths, give or take a few pennies for a basic lifestyle & without a car, using public transit with medical covered under the EU.
€400-€500/mth for rent 2-bedroom furnished
€120-€150/mth. All utilities, including TV/phone/internet (no A/C & basic heating)
€300-€500/mth for groceries + a meal or two out
If others have input on the cost of living, please post your personal experience.
All of the above numbers changes if you move to Malta to work, are single, have children, retire early with a good income.
There some rich seniors, others in the UK that are on basic state pension, others with pension credit, AA & housing allowance.
Each to their own choices for a place in the sun - whether its Malta, Portugal, Spain or the Far East

Re: Utilities in Gozo
In all honesty, this one Frank Salt Real Estate Malta
Its newer and has a lot of light shining in. One thing I notice about most properties is the lack of sunlight shining in which makes it look rather bland and yellow.
But I wouldn't rent it because it doesn't have air con.
