The Real Estate Sales Contract Form is a crucial legal document used in Malta for property transactions between vendors and purchasers. It serves as the definitive agreement following the preliminary promise of sale agreement (konvenju) and must comply with Chapter 16 of the Civil Code of Malta and related legislation. This document is essential for any property sale in Malta, whether residential or commercial, and must be executed in the presence of a Notary Public. The contract includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, purchase price, payment terms, warranties, and tax obligations. It also addresses specific Maltese legal requirements such as duty on documents, energy performance certificates, and land registry requirements. The document is designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with all relevant Maltese and EU regulations governing property transactions.
