The Lease Agreement With Option to Purchase is a sophisticated legal instrument used in Qatar when parties wish to combine a property lease with a future purchase opportunity. This document type is particularly relevant in situations where potential buyers wish to occupy and evaluate a property before committing to purchase, or when they need time to arrange financing while securing their interest in the property. The agreement must comply with Qatar's civil law system, including Law No. 22 of 2004 (Civil Code) and various real estate regulations. It typically includes detailed provisions for both the lease period (rent, maintenance, utilities) and the purchase option (price, exercise period, conditions), while ensuring compliance with local property registration requirements and foreign ownership restrictions. This document type is commonly used in both residential and commercial contexts, particularly in Qatar's developing real estate market where property evaluation and financing considerations are crucial to transaction success.
