The purchase and sale of real estate is one of the most common operations within the real estate sector in Morocco. However, this process is regulated by specific rules that must be carefully followed to ensure a successful transaction. In this article, prepared with the experience of the CasasMarruecos.com team, we guide you step by step and explain how our professionals can help you simplify this process. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement?<\/span><\/h4>\n

A real estate sales contract is a legal agreement whereby the seller transfers ownership of a property to the buyer in exchange for an agreed price. This type of contract is regulated by the Dahir which establishes the Code of Obligations and Contracts (DOC) in Morocco. With the advice of CasasMarruecos.com, you can be sure that all the legal aspects of this contract will be well covered. <\/span><\/p>\n

Key Legal Provisions<\/span><\/h4>\n

The legal framework for the sale of real estate in Morocco is defined by articles 618 to 644 of the Code of Obligations and Contracts. These articles describe the obligations of the parties, the formal requirements and the legal effects of the contract. Our team at CasasMarruecos.com specializes in ensuring that these provisions are properly complied with, avoiding future legal problems. <\/span><\/p>\n

Steps and Procedures for the Sale and Purchase of a Property<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Negotiation and Preliminary Agreement<\/strong><\/span> The first step is the negotiation between buyer and seller. Once both parties agree on the price and conditions, we proceed to formalize a preliminary agreement through a promise of sale or a commitment to sell. CasasMarruecos.com advises you during this stage to ensure that the initial agreement is beneficial and secure. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Document Verification<\/strong><\/span> Before finalizing the sale, it is essential to conduct a thorough review of key documents, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Title Deed<\/strong><\/span>: Confirms that the seller is the legal owner of the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Certificate of no encumbrance<\/strong><\/span>Guarantees that the property is free of mortgages or other encumbrances.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Cadastral plan<\/strong><\/span>: Specifies the exact boundaries of the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The experts at CasasMarruecos.com can take care of these verifications, making sure that all the documentation is in order.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Formalization of the Purchase and Sale Agreement<\/strong><\/span> Once the verifications have been made, the contract must be signed before a notary. According to article 487 of the DOC, in order to be valid, the purchase contract must be authenticated by a notary. Our team accompanies you every step of the way, coordinating with the notary to ensure that the entire process runs smoothly. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Payment and Delivery of the Property<\/strong><\/span> Payment is generally made in two stages: an advance payment upon signing the commitment to sell and the balance upon signing the final contract. After the payment, the seller delivers the keys and the complete documentation of the property to the buyer. CasasMarruecos.com can facilitate this transaction, offering a fast and secure process. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Costs Associated with Real Estate Sales and Purchases<\/span><\/h4>\n

            It is important to consider the associated costs, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
