The Home Purchase Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Qatar real estate transactions to formalize the transfer of residential property ownership. It is essential for both local and foreign buyers, with specific provisions applying under Law No. 16 of 2018 for non-Qatari purchasers. The agreement comprehensively covers all aspects of the property transaction, from initial deposit to final transfer, including property specifications, payment terms, warranties, and completion requirements. It must comply with Qatar's Civil Code and real estate registration laws, incorporating necessary governmental approvals and addressing specific market considerations such as designated areas for foreign ownership. The document is typically prepared in both Arabic and English, with the Arabic version being the official version for registration purposes.
