The Contract to Buy and Sell (Real Estate) is a fundamental legal document used in Qatar's property market to facilitate real estate transactions. This agreement is essential for both residential and commercial property transfers in Qatar, incorporating requirements from Law No. 22 of 2004 (Civil Code), Law No. 14 of 1964 (Real Estate Registration Law), and, where applicable, Law No. 16 of 2018 (Foreign Ownership of Real Estate). The document is used whenever real property is being transferred from one party to another, whether they are individuals or corporate entities. It includes comprehensive details about the property, payment terms, conditions of sale, and specific requirements for property registration in Qatar. The agreement must address local regulatory requirements, including municipality approvals, foreign ownership restrictions in specific zones, and anti-money laundering compliance. This contract type is crucial for ensuring legal protection for both buyers and sellers while maintaining compliance with Qatar's property laws and regulations.
