Malta’s Commercial Real Estate Market

Why choose RE/MAX Commercial? On paper, finding and selecting a commercial property or any type of property in Malta and Gozo may seem rather straightforward. In truth, it can be a complicated and time-consuming process, unless the right questions are asked upfront before the process begins.

Asking the Right Questions

The term ‘Commercial Real Estate’ encompasses a vast cross-section of commercial properties available on the Maltese islands. Sometimes it can take forever to narrow the vast amount of commercial properties like offices, shops, restaurants, etc. down to the specifics if the wrong questions are asked when the search for a new property begins.

RE/MAX Commercial team

At RE/MAX Malta, our dedicated team of commercial property agents are trained to ask the right questions, so that only the most appropriate commercial properties are picked for consideration.

Whether the business in question depends on foot traffic or operates B2B, the nature of the business is one of the largest influences on the type of commercial properties that make the shortlist. For example, a business operating completely online requires a vastly different physical operating centre than a wholesale supplier with stock to store.

Things get even more specific when it comes to speciality spaces. Refrigerated or temperature-controlled premises, for example.

Asking the right questions

Asking the right questions is vital from the first step. This avoids confusion and time wasting.

RE/MAX Commercial understands that asking these questions can have a direct influence on the profits the client’s company or organisation eventually makes. It can be a very costly error indeed and our associates have the training and experience to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Logistics of your business

The next step a good agency considers is the logistical aspect of the business. A shortlisted commercial property must not only accommodate the organisation comfortably but should also provide room for growth. That final part of the equation is what separates those that know the commercial market well and those that don’t.

Finding a commercial property is not simply a case of counting car spaces and wall sockets (although those are important too). Nearby amenities and customer parking, foot traffic, seasonal impacts on the area and countless other considerations must be deliberated before the property is even presented to the client.

Logistics also includes location. Certain businesses are required or expected to occupy commercial space within certain areas or districts, as in maritime or law firms, for example.

Commercial specifics and details

Certain businesses require licenses and this must be kept in consideration when choosing a location. Restrictions and regulations on certain buildings and/or units could adverselyfmarket

affect the occupier of the premises, if not made clear (or applied for) at the beginning.

Finally, it should also be noted whether the business in question requires any extraordinary amenities. Does it require reinforced windows, for example?

As can be seen, finding the right commercial property in Malta is trickier than it may first seem. When a business depends on it, it is absolutely imperative that the process is done right, not just legally, but also in terms of asking the right questions, right down to the specifics.
