The Real Estate Installment Contract is a vital instrument in Philippine property transactions, designed for situations where buyers acquire real estate through periodic payments rather than a single lump sum. This document type is particularly relevant in the Philippine market where installment purchases are common for both residential and commercial properties. The contract must strictly comply with the Maceda Law (RA 6552), which provides specific protections for buyers making installment payments, and the Civil Code of the Philippines. It typically includes comprehensive details about the property, payment terms, default provisions, and conditions for title transfer. The document is essential for developers, individual sellers, and buyers engaging in installment-based property transactions, providing legal security and clear terms for all parties involved.
