The Home For Sale By Owner Purchase Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Malta when property owners choose to sell their residential property directly to purchasers without engaging a real estate agent. This document is particularly relevant in the Maltese property market, where the legal framework requires specific formalities including the konvenju system and strict compliance with the Civil Code. The agreement encompasses all necessary elements for a valid property transfer under Maltese law, including property description, warranties, payment terms, and completion requirements. It serves as both a binding agreement and a reference document for the final deed of sale to be executed before a Notary Public. The document must comply with various regulatory requirements including the Duty on Documents and Transfers Act, the Land Registration Act, and energy performance certification regulations.
