The Assignment Of Real Estate Contract And Sale Agreement is a crucial document used in Malta when a buyer of property wishes to transfer their rights and obligations under an existing sale agreement to a new buyer. This document is particularly relevant in situations involving property development projects, investment properties, or when the original buyer cannot proceed with the purchase.

It includes comprehensive details about the property, original sale agreement, assignment terms, warranties, and completion requirements. The document is subject to Maltese stamp duty and other transaction taxes, and may require additional permits for non-resident purchasers under the Immovable Property (Acquisition by Non-Residents) Act.
