Pelago Real Estate

Pelago Real Estate is a Maltese property agency with its head branch in Attard, in the middle of the island. It describes itself as a bespoke agency for people relocating to Malta, and its main business today is residential rentals for local tenants, expatriates and companies. The agency appears in our directory of estate agents in Malta, and you can contact it through the enquiry form on this page.

A fresh approach to renting in Malta

Pelago was set up around a new, personal way of working, with a team that brings different areas of expertise. Its network and database are always growing, and it is structured to work for both landlords and tenants, helping at every stage of a let. Its consultants have more than twenty years of experience across the property industry.

Malta's rental market has become crowded and can be hectic, particularly for newcomers. Pelago focuses on negotiating, spotting opportunities and finding the right match, and it takes a practical, problem-solving approach when obstacles come up. For UK readers planning a move, our guide to relocating to Malta and where to stay in Malta help you choose an area before you view anything.

Who Pelago works for

The agency's current focus is the residential rental market, serving locals, expatriates and corporations alike. That makes it a natural contact for professionals relocating with employers, as well as remote workers, so our digital nomad guide may also be useful. Sales and commercial property are described as the next stage of growth, and the website search already includes options for buying and renting both residential and commercial property.

A lessor is the landlord and a lessee is the tenant, so both sides of a rental are covered. UK readers who are used to letting agents will find the process familiar, although it is wise to settle your budget, preferred area, number of bedrooms and move-in date before you start viewing. Our Valletta guide and Mdina guide describe two very different places to live.

If you have a specific budget, a particular timeframe or no idea where to start, Pelago invites you to say so. The aim is to make your goal the agency's goal, whether that is a short-notice flat, a family house or a property for a company employee.

Property types and search tools

Listings cover apartments, maisonettes, penthouses, houses, villas and bungalows, town houses, palazzo and farmhouses. A maisonette is a home with its own entrance in a small block, much as in the UK, while a palazzo is a grand historic town house and a farmhouse is typically a traditional stone home with outdoor space. Its property search can be filtered by location, price range, bedrooms, bathrooms, property type and features, or you can search directly by reference number. Listings are marked as available now or available soon, and the site also carries a blog and market insight articles on property trends across Malta and Gozo, where our Gozo guide can help you compare the islands.

Property details online are for general guidance only, so check the details of any property with the agent before you commit. A sensible approach for a move from the UK is to shortlist listings by reference number before you travel, then talk through the options with an agent.

The team and the Attard office

The agents named on the website are James Paris, Nicole Debono and Nicholas Rizzo Naudi. The head branch is at 158 Triq Il-linja in Attard, and the agency also works with a network of franchise offices. The agency puts customer satisfaction first and is expanding its network of offices.
