How much does a property valuation cost in Malta? (2026 guide)
If you are buying, selling, refinancing or settling an inheritance in Malta, sooner or later someone — usually a bank or a notary — will ask for a certified property valuation. Here is what it costs, what you get, and when a free estimate is enough.
The short answer
A certified valuation by a warranted Perit (architect) in Malta typically costs from €250 for standard residential property. For higher-value properties, fees are commonly calculated as a small percentage of the property value — at FR Studio, 0.05% of the assessed value, with €250 as the minimum. In practice:
| Property value | Indicative fee (0.05%, min €250) |
|---|---|
| Up to €500,000 | €250 (minimum applies) |
| €800,000 | €400 |
| €1,500,000 | €750 |
What a certified valuation includes
- An on-site inspection by the Perit — not a desktop estimate.
- Verification of planning permits and building regulations — non-permitted works can significantly reduce a property's real value.
- A signed report accepted by banks, notaries, courts and the Commissioner for Revenue.
When is a free estimate enough?
If you just want to understand what your property is roughly worth — before listing it, or while comparing options — an instant data-driven estimate is a sensible first step. It takes a minute and costs nothing. But remember: an automatic estimate does not consider permits, building regulations or the specific characteristics of your area. Only a certified valuation can guarantee those aspects.
How long does it take?
At FR Studio, a certified valuation is normally delivered within a few working days of the site inspection. Urgent bank deadlines can usually be accommodated — just say so when you get in touch.
