Following the success of its recent succession-planning event, Belair Property is continuing its Belair Talks series with a discussion on the importance of involving the right professional advisers early in a property investment or development.
Established in 1967, Belair Property has built a reputation as one of Malta’s most respected real estate agencies. Through Belair Talks, the company extends its commitment to informed advice beyond individual transactions, bringing property owners, investors and developers into conversation with professionals whose expertise can help shape better decisions.
Building on the succession planning discussion
The previous event, featuring Matthew Booker and Elena Grima Tortell, explored an issue that matters deeply to many property-owning families: how to protect a portfolio and prepare it for the next generation. The discussion focused on planning ahead, preparing family members and establishing the leadership and structures needed to support continuity.
Its central message was that a property portfolio is more than an investment; it is also a legacy. Decisions about its future deserve attention well before a handover becomes necessary.
Building on that successful event, the next Belair Talks carries forward the same principle: the timing of professional advice can be as important as the advice itself.
Beyond the Deal
Taking place on Thursday, 8 October 2026 at Belair Property’s head office, Beyond the Deal: How the Right Advice, at the Right Time, Unlocks Greater Value will examine how early collaboration can influence the outcome of a property investment.
The event brings together Ian Casolani of Belair Property, Matthew Xuereb of Deloitte and Justin Mizzi of QPM, combining experience in the property market, financial advisory, valuation and development.
Many decisions that determine a project’s commercial potential are made long before it reaches the market. A site is acquired, designs are developed, a property mix is selected and budgets are committed. Seeking advice only when a property is ready to sell or let can leave limited scope to address a mismatch between the project and market demand.
The value of involving advisers early
For Belair Property, the role of a real estate adviser begins well before marketing a completed property. Early insight into buyer and tenant requirements can help inform what is developed, who it is intended for and how it should be positioned.
That market perspective becomes more useful when considered alongside financial analysis, valuation, due diligence, design and planning advice. The forthcoming discussion will explore how these disciplines can work together from the outset, helping investors and developers test assumptions, identify risks and recognise opportunities before major commitments are made.
Belair Talks reflects the company’s belief that a reputable agency has a role to play in encouraging more informed conversations about property. By bringing different professional perspectives together, the series gives owners and investors an opportunity to look beyond the immediate transaction and consider the decisions that influence lasting value.
Good advice should do more than help complete a deal. It should help shape the right deal from the beginning.
