Document background
The Deed of Sale of Land is a crucial legal instrument in Saudi Arabian real estate transactions, used whenever there is a transfer of land ownership between parties. This document type is essential for both private and commercial land sales in the Kingdom, requiring strict adherence to both Sharia principles and Saudi civil law. The deed must be executed before a notary public and registered with the appropriate land registry authorities to be legally valid. It typically includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, purchase price, payment terms, and various warranties and undertakings. The document is particularly important as it forms the basis for property registration in Saudi Arabia and must comply with specific regulatory requirements, including those related to foreign ownership restrictions where applicable.
