The Deed of Sale of Property is a crucial legal instrument in Maltese property transactions, required for any transfer of immovable property within the jurisdiction. This document must comply with the Civil Code of Malta and the Notarial Profession and Notarial Archives Act, among other relevant legislation. It serves as the definitive evidence of property transfer and must include specific details about the parties, property description, consideration, warranties, and various legal declarations. The deed is particularly important as it must be registered with the Public Registry and Land Registry, creating a public record of the transaction. It's used in both residential and commercial property transfers and must address specific requirements for different types of properties and buyers, including additional requirements for non-resident purchasers under Maltese law.
