Best Deal Properties, one of Malta’s premier property developers, has quickly become known for its high level of service, quality of properties, and commitment to sustainability. Led by Directors Erskine Vella and Christopher Attard, the company has managed to establish a strong foothold in the competitive Maltese property market by focusing on customer experience, building high-quality homes, and prioritising eco-friendly practices.

In an interview with WhosWho.mt, Erskine Vella shared insights into how the company began, how it has evolved, and how it has managed to maintain these high standards, particularly in service, quality, and energy efficiency.

Best Deal Properties prides itself on providing a level of customer service that goes far beyond the typical property transaction. Erskine, who co-founded the company after working as a real estate agent, recognised early on that people weren't just buying properties—they were investing in homes where they would build memories.

“People spend a lot of money here, so we can’t take this for granted or make the process difficult. We try to make it as easy as possible,” Erskine explained.

He emphasised that Best Deal Properties involves clients every step of the way, from selecting materials to working closely with site managers and designers to ensure that the finished product aligns with their vision.

“We make sure to use the best quality and best materials for the properties we sell. We are not just selling property; we are selling homes.”

The company's commitment to service extends beyond the initial purchase. Clients have access to site managers who guide them through the finishing process, and they are encouraged to personalise their homes through consultations with in-house designers. ‘Clients can change things; we do everything we can to make sure they get their dream home,’ continues Erskine.

Despite the challenges that arise in maintaining such personalised service—ranging from rising material costs to the unpredictability of client preferences—Best Deal Properties makes every effort to ensure that their clients feel heard and involved. “Sometimes, the biggest challenge is that some clients are not easy, but at the end of the day, if the client is right, they are right. We respect that,” he adds.

Maintaining a balance between quality and affordability is a key focus for Best Deal Properties. As Erskine shares, the company goes to great lengths to ensure their projects use top-notch materials and craftsmanship while still being mindful of market prices. “We juggle things around—costs, the market, materials—but we never abandon the quality because if you do, the business will abandon you in return,” he remarked.

Clients of Best Deal Properties are often first-time homebuyers, and Erskine recognises the weight of that responsibility. "For first-time buyers, we have one of the best products that can be found locally," he notes. Part of this success is attributed to the full control the company has over its projects, from design to final construction. Erskine elaborates on how the company’s approach benefits the client, saying, “We let them choose, and they have their own meetings with our designer—at no additional charge. This is especially important when it’s your home, and we want to make it feel personal.”

In recent years, energy efficiency has become an increasingly important selling point for property buyers, and Best Deal Properties is at the forefront of this trend in Malta. The company has been committed to eco-friendly building practices for over a decade, incorporating technologies like photovoltaic panels and energy-efficient systems into their projects.

“We’ve been doing this for 10 years, and today we have the best Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in Malta. At Best Deal Properties, we specialise in constructing value-for-money apartments, maisonettes, and penthouses, with a strong focus on energy efficiency. Our properties are equipped with innovative solutions to help you save energy in both winter and summer. We utilise insulating foam for superior insulation against the elements, ensuring a comfortable temperature year-round. Each unit comes with a Performance Energy Certificate, so homeowners know the energy efficiency of their property,” says Erskine.

“Our properties also feature photovoltaic panels that can reduce electricity bills,” adds Erskine. “Roofs are thermally insulated to minimise heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, while double-glazed windows provide both noise reduction and protection against cold weather.”

Looking ahead, Erskine hinted at exciting future developments. The company has several new projects in the works, including a unique development close to his heart, which features a landscaped area designed for client entertainment. Additionally, new properties with stunning beach views in Ghadira and Marsascala are set to raise the bar even further for the company.

Reflecting on their journey so far, Erskine credits the company's growth to its unwavering commitment to quality, service, and sustainability. “We’re not thinking of doing anything else. This is what we do, and we want to keep building on it.”

In a competitive market, Best Deal Properties has found a winning formula: high-quality homes, a personalised customer experience, and a dedication to sustainability. As more buyers look for homes that are both well-crafted and eco-friendly, Best Deal Properties is well-positioned to continue its impressive growth trajectory.
