Why purchase a commercial property?

There is no doubt that buying a commercial property in Malta is a major expense, but if you don’t have the capital to afford it, a bank loan gives you the option to buy it anyway and look forward to owning it in full down the line. Yes, a loan is quite a serious financial commitment, but if you’re in a position to go through with it, you may find it preferable to forking out a monthly sum on rent. After all, with the price of property in Malta ever on the rise, there is probably no better investment. 

In fact, you may even decide to purchase a commercial property in Malta or Gozo solely for its rental investment and let it to other businesses. If, however, you purchase a Malta property to use for your own business and, for whatever reason, you eventually decide to stop using the premises for that purpose but want to hang on to the property, you can still get something out of it by letting it.

Final steps when buying commercial property

Once you’ve hit on a Malta property, agreed on a price with the seller and are ready to seal the deal, it’s time to sign a preliminary agreement (konvenju) that binds you both to sign the final deed of sale within a stipulated timeframe. This will give you time to sort out your permits and bank loan, while the seller completes any remaining work agreed on in the contract, and the Notary Public conducts the necessary legal searches. A few short months later, the commercial property is all yours!
