The Deed of Sale Agreement of Immovable Property is a crucial legal instrument in Philippine real estate transactions, used whenever there is a transfer of ownership of land, buildings, or other immovable property. This document is essential for both private and commercial property transactions in the Philippines, requiring strict adherence to local laws including the Civil Code, Property Registration Decree, and various tax regulations. The agreement must be notarized and subsequently registered with the Registry of Deeds to perfect the transfer. It typically includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, purchase price, payment terms, warranties, and specific conditions required under Philippine law.
