The Home Purchase Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Malta for residential property transactions between vendors and purchasers. It serves as the definitive contract outlining the terms and conditions for the transfer of property ownership, building upon the preliminary agreement (konvenju) and leading to the final deed of sale. This document is essential in Malta's property market, where specific legal requirements such as notarial involvement, Energy Performance Certificates, and potential AIP permits for non-residents must be addressed. The agreement includes comprehensive details about the property, payment terms, warranties, and conditions precedent, while ensuring compliance with Malta's Civil Code and property laws. It's particularly important given Malta's unique property laws and the increasing international interest in its real estate market.
