The Contract to Buy and Sell (Real Estate) is a fundamental legal document used in Philippine real estate transactions to formalize the agreement between a buyer and seller for the transfer of real property. This document is essential when conducting property transactions in the Philippines and must comply with various local laws including the Civil Code of the Philippines, Property Registration Decree, and relevant tax regulations. It serves as the primary agreement outlining the terms of sale, including property details, purchase price, payment terms, conditions precedent to closing, and obligations of both parties. The contract typically requires notarization and proper registration with relevant government authorities to be fully effective. It's particularly important as it forms the basis for the eventual transfer of title and serves as evidence of the parties' rights and obligations throughout the transaction process.
