The Deposit For Purchase Agreement is a crucial preliminary document in Maltese property transactions, used when a prospective buyer wishes to secure their interest in a property before proceeding to a full promise of sale agreement (konvenju). This document type is particularly important in Malta's active real estate market, where securing property interests early in the transaction process is common practice. It serves as a formal acknowledgment of the deposit payment and the parties' intentions, typically including details about the property, deposit amount, whether the deposit is refundable, and the timeline for executing the promise of sale. The agreement must comply with Malta's Civil Code requirements and often includes provisions for anti-money laundering compliance, which is particularly relevant given Malta's financial services sector focus.
