The Engineering Requirements of Law and Regulation of Presale Building

One of the important needs of human societies has been providing house and shelter. Applicants of housing usually tried to find people or companies to resolve this problem. In order to achieve this goal, they provided appropriate housing by cash or under special purchasing conditions. In conditional building buying, two sides of the contract sometimes did not take their commitments and they created lots of problems for each other. One of the current contracts in this field is presale building. In recent decades, this type of buying a house has been prevalent in Iran. Lack of appropriate law in this field lead to lots of files about conflicts of contract sides in courts. Therefore, legislator decided to approve a special law for this topic. Finally, the presale building law was approved in Islamic Parliament of Iran in 2010 and the regulation of the law was communicated by the government in 2014.
