The Deed of Sale Installment Payment agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in South African property transactions where the purchase price is paid in installments rather than as a lump sum. This document type is particularly relevant when buyers cannot secure traditional mortgage financing or prefer a direct payment arrangement with the seller. The agreement must comply with strict requirements under the Alienation of Land Act 68 of 1981, the National Credit Act 34 of 2005, and other relevant legislation. It includes comprehensive details about the property, payment schedule, interest calculations, and statutory protections for both parties. The document is commonly used in both residential and commercial property transactions, requiring careful consideration of legal requirements, financial terms, and property transfer conditions.
