Real estate valuer Justin Mizzi joins QP as Partner

Justin Mizzi, a real estate valuer and advisor, has joined QP, a firm involved in the design, engineer and management of buildings and infrastructure, as Partner.

Mr Mizzi said he is “excited to being this new chapter,” adding that it is “a privilege to be part of such an ambitious and well-established firm.”

He will be one of the key people responsible for the real estate valuation and advisory function.

The move to QP comes after seven years at local architecture firm Archi+, where Mr Mizzi helped reshape property valuations in Malta.

Posting on LinkedIn about his experience there, he noted that the firm valued over €850 million in private-sector assets in the last 12 months alone.

“When I joined [Archi+] with just two years’ experience, I believed there was a better way,” he said.

“To be a full-time specialised valuer without needing to rely on banks or public entities. And where the private sector would want to choose us as their valuers, as opposed to being forced to use us. To have the opportunity to mainly focus on complex, high-value commercial and development properties. To embed collaboration with planners, cost consultants, estate agents, and accountants into our process.”

He added that he helped make valuations that were defensible and transparent, with a focus on valuation rationale, market research, and methodology, as opposed to the property description.

Mr Mizzi has also been involved in sharing knowledge on property valuations through events and lectures, work that he will be carrying forward at QP, with two events coming up in September, respectively organised by the Kamra tal-Periti and the Valuation Forum Malta.
