Battle over Divorce Law gets ugly in Malta

Voting takes place this Saturday and campaigning parties are doing their best to swing votes their way.

Office Vacancies in Miami Skyrocket!

The recession may be well over, but the hole which it has left in our property market is paramount to fiscal collapse. Office vacancies in Miami have reached an all new high, with very close to twenty percent of all offices in the general Miami-Dade area remaining unoccupied.

Providing more office space will ensure that the landlords keep their rents low on the adjacent properties.
