Selling your home is a big decision—choosing the right agent is key. We make it easy. Here’s why Open House Malta is your best choice: only 1% commission.
Property Sales Commission
Our Agency Fee for Sale Property
Sensara (Broker) (1%+vat to Buyer) and (1%+vat to Seller)
The advantage of the sensara being paid separately is that the buyer’s fee won’t be added to the property price, which would otherwise increase the taxes. (Sensara is the Maltese word for traditional broker.)
It doesn’t make sense for the buyer and vendor to be taxed on the agency fee as part of the property price.
Other Larger Real Estate Firms
Real estate franchises typically charge a commission of 5% + VAT (5.9%) — paid by the buyer only.
Some small offices fees vary. Please contact your agent for specific rates and VAT inclusion.

Rental Fees & Rates
Residential Long Lets: Transparent Fee
[ Owners fees 45% of one month’s rent + VAT. ]
[ Tenants Pay No Agency Fees. ]
Why we don’t charge tenants agency fees?
Rental decisions happen faster with us because, unlike in Malta, tenants in most other countries typically don’t pay agency fees. Our tenants appreciate this fair approach, as it’s less daunting to come up with just the deposit and first month’s rent, rather than a large lump sum that includes agency fees.
We aim to minimise vacancy periods for your property because we understand it’s competing with similar listings. We also prioritise referrals, as your continued success is important to us.

When dealing with other real estate agents, you’ll often find they charge both landlords and tenants 50% of one month’s rent, plus VAT, as their commission. However, it’s essential to confirm the exact fees directly with your agent, as these charges can vary.
All our tenants are qualified; they need to fill out a form with all the necessary questions before leasing your property.
