Document background
The Agreement For Sale Of Plot is a fundamental legal document used in Swiss real estate transactions for transferring ownership of land between parties. It must comply with strict Swiss legal requirements, including mandatory execution as a public deed under Article 216 of the Code of Obligations. This document is essential when any party wishes to sell or purchase a plot of land in Switzerland, whether for personal, commercial, or industrial use. It contains crucial information about the property, parties, price, payment terms, and conditions of sale, while ensuring compliance with federal laws (including Lex Koller for foreign buyers), cantonal regulations, and land registry requirements. The agreement serves as the basis for the official property transfer process and must address various aspects such as environmental considerations, zoning requirements, and existing encumbrances to create a legally binding and enforceable contract.
