The Novation Agreement (Real Estate) is a crucial document used in Maltese property transactions when one party needs to be replaced by another in an existing real estate agreement while keeping the original contract's structure intact. This document is particularly relevant in scenarios such as property development projects changing hands, corporate restructuring affecting real estate holdings, or when investors wish to transfer their property rights and obligations to another party. The agreement must comply with Malta's Civil Code and property laws, requiring notarization and registration with the Public Registry. It includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, financial obligations, and any existing encumbrances. The document ensures a clean break for the outgoing party while maintaining contractual continuity for the remaining parties.
