The Land Installment Agreement is a crucial document in Philippine real estate transactions where property is purchased through periodic payments rather than a single payment. This agreement type is commonly used when buyers cannot secure traditional mortgage financing or prefer a direct arrangement with the seller. The document must comply with Philippine law, particularly the Maceda Law (RA 6552), which provides specific protections for buyers in installment sales of real estate. A Land Installment Agreement typically includes detailed property descriptions, payment terms, default provisions, transfer conditions, and maintenance responsibilities. It's essential in both residential and commercial property transactions, requiring careful consideration of local regulations, tax implications, and registration requirements. The agreement serves as the primary document governing the relationship between buyer and seller throughout the installment period, which can span several years.
