How much office space do I need?

We calculate space requirements based on use: approximately 8–12 sqm per person for efficient open-plan layouts, 12–15 sqm per person including meeting and breakout areas, 15–20 sqm per person for cellular/private offices, and 20–30 sqm per person for executive/premium space.

What is the typical lease duration in Malta?

For small offices (1–4 desks), the standard structure is a 1-year di fermo (binding period) followed by up to 3 years di rispetto (optional renewal period). For larger offices (10+ desks), expect a 2-year di fermo and 3 years di rispetto.

Serviced vs traditional office — which is right for me?

Serviced offices provide flexible, all-inclusive terms with furniture, wifi and utilities included, ideal for short-term or fast-moving teams. Traditional leases offer a lower cost per square metre with full control over fit-out and layout, better suited to longer-term occupiers.

Does VAT apply on top of the quoted rent?

VAT treatment depends on the letting type and the parties involved — some commercial lettings are taxable at 18%, while others are VAT-exempt. We can confirm the correct treatment for your specific transaction.

What is the best location for an office in Malta?

It depends on your industry: St Julian's and Sliema suit iGaming, fintech and tech companies; Valletta is home to legal and professional firms; Mriehel is Malta's largest business district and suits a wide range of corporate occupiers.

When should I start searching for office space?

We recommend starting your search 3–4 months before your intended commencement date, to give you the best leverage and the widest choice of space.

Can international companies rent office space in Malta?

Yes — we regularly assist international companies remotely, including video walkthroughs of properties and fully remote process management from initial search through to lease signing.

What should I look for when choosing an office?

Key factors include your team's location and commute, parking availability, natural light, internet quality and infrastructure, room for future growth, and overall cultural fit with the building and area.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of working with Manuel during our search for a new office space, and I cannot recommend him enough. From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in understanding what we were looking for. He always took the time to share suitable options, answer questions, and make the whole process as smooth as possible. Beyond being an excellent agent, Manuel is an absolute gem of a person. He is kind, patient, and a true professional who clearly cares about his clients and the relationships he builds. Even though our plans changed in the end, I have nothing but appreciation for all the effort and support he provided throughout the process. He is easily one of the best agents I have had the pleasure of working with, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for office space in Malta.

A one-time agency fee of 10% of the first year’s rent + 18% VAT is charged at the point of signing the lease — not before. If we don’t place you, there is no fee. Full details here.

We calculate approximately 8–12 sqm/person efficient open plan; 12–15 including meeting/breakout; 15–20 cellular/private; 20–30 executive/premium. A team of 10 typically needs around 120–150 sqm in total. Use our free office space calculator.

For small offices (1–4 desks), the standard is a 1-year di fermo followed by up to 3 years di rispetto. For larger offices (10+ desks), expect a 2-year di fermo and 3 years di rispetto. The di fermo is a binding financial commitment — you cannot exit without penalty during that period.

Serviced offices offer flexible, all-inclusive licence terms — furniture, wifi, utilities, reception included. Minimun 1 year di fermo term. Traditional leases have lower cost per sqm and full control over fit-out and branding, but require a longer commitment.

VAT treatment of office rent in Malta depends on the type of letting, the parties and the applicable VAT rules. Some commercial lettings are taxable at 18%, while others may be exempt. Confirm the VAT treatment for the specific transaction before signing. A space at €3,000/month costs €3,540/month inclusive of VAT. VAT-registered businesses can typically reclaim this on their quarterly return.

St Julian’s and Sliema suit iGaming, fintech, and tech companies. Valletta is the home of legal firms. Mriehel is Malta’s largest business district ideal for Financial Services. Birkirkara, Naxxar and Swatar offer the most competitive rents.

As early as possible. Good spaces move quickly. Factor in viewing time, negotiation and legal review. Starting early gives you leverage and avoids being forced into the wrong space by deadline pressure. 3-4 months prior to commencment date is the most common scenario which we handle.

The whole island — St Julian’s, Sliema, Gżira, Ta’ Xbiex, Valletta, Mriehel CBD, Birkirkara, Naxxar, Swatar and beyond.

Yes. We regularly assist international companies setting up their first Malta office, including video walkthroughs and full remote management of the process.

Where your team lives, parking, natural light, internet, growth capacity and whether the space reflects your company culture. Always budget inclusive of VAT and service charges.
