The Offer and Agreement to Purchase is a crucial initial document in Maltese property transactions, serving as the formal written offer from a prospective buyer to a property owner. This document is typically used at the early stages of a property transaction in Malta, before proceeding to the 'konvenju' (promise of sale agreement) and final deed of sale. It includes essential information such as property details, purchase price, payment terms, conditions for sale, and any special requirements under Maltese law. The document must comply with Malta's Civil Code requirements and property transfer regulations, including specific provisions for both residential and commercial properties. It's particularly important in establishing clear terms and protecting both parties' interests during the preliminary stages of the transaction, while also ensuring compliance with local property transfer procedures, tax regulations, and anti-money laundering requirements.
