The House Purchase Agreement Form is a fundamental legal document used in Malta for residential property transactions. It serves as the definitive contract between a vendor and purchaser, establishing the terms and conditions for the transfer of property ownership. This document is essential in Malta's property market, where all property transfers must be executed through public deeds before a Notary Public. The agreement incorporates various legal requirements specific to Malta, including compliance with the Civil Code, stamp duty regulations, and energy performance certification requirements. It is used for both standard residential sales and specialized situations such as purchases by non-residents (requiring AIP permits) or properties in Special Designated Areas. The document must comply with Malta's strict property laws and financial regulations, including anti-money laundering provisions.
