The Seller Financing Contract is utilized when a property seller in Malta agrees to provide direct financing to the buyer, effectively acting as both the property vendor and the lender. This arrangement is particularly valuable when traditional bank financing is either unavailable or less advantageous to the parties involved. The document must comply with Maltese law, including the Civil Code (Chapter 16) and various financial services regulations, while incorporating necessary protections for both parties. The contract includes detailed provisions for the property transfer, financing terms, security arrangements, payment schedules, and default remedies. As a Seller Financing Contract, it requires careful structuring to ensure enforceability under Maltese law and proper registration with relevant authorities, including the Public Registry and Land Registry. This type of agreement is commonly used in both residential and commercial property transactions, particularly in situations where flexible financing terms are desired or when buyers seek alternative financing options.
