Tell Us Your Brief, Get a Shortlist
The listings here are only part of what we handle. Many offices are let before they are advertised, and landlords often come to us first.

We will send a shortlist that includes off-market space, arrange viewings, and help you negotiate through to signing. Request a shortlist.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent an office in Malta?
Rents depend on the area, the building and the type of office. See our Malta Office Market Guide for current rental ranges by district, or send us your brief and we will shortlist options for your budget.
How much office space do I need per person in Malta?
Plan 8 to 12 m² per person for open plan, 10 to 14 m² for partitioned layouts, 14 to 20 m² for private offices and 10 to 15 m² for a hybrid mix. Add 10 to 20 percent for meeting rooms, reception, kitchen and storage.
What is the difference between a serviced office and a traditional lease in Malta?
A serviced office is private, enclosed and furnished, with utilities and internet bundled into one monthly price and shorter terms available. A traditional lease is unfurnished or part furnished, runs for a fixed period, and the tenant pays utilities and fit-out separately.
Is VAT added to office rent in Malta?
Rents on our website are quoted excluding VAT. Where a landlord charges VAT on a commercial lease, the rate is 18%, which VAT-registered tenants can usually reclaim. See tax and VAT when renting in Malta.
Do tenants pay a fee to use OfficeSpace.Rent?
Searches and viewings have no upfront charge. A one-time tenant agency fee of 10% of the first year’s rent plus VAT applies when the lease is signed.
How much deposit and what lease term should I expect?
A security deposit (garanzija) of around one to three months’ rent is common. The binding period (di fermo) and the notice period (di rispetto) are agreed in each lease, so we compare them across your shortlist.
How quickly can I move in?
Serviced and furnished offices can often be occupied within days of signing. Unfurnished or shell offices need time for fit-out, so allow longer.
Does the office have the right permit?
Offices in Malta need a Class 4A planning permit for office use. We confirm the permit status of any office before you sign.
Can you help with offices that are not listed publicly?
Yes. Many offices are let before they are advertised and landlords often approach us first. Send us your team size, budget and preferred areas and we will include off-market options in your shortlist.
