Lawyer for real estate in Georgia

Foreign citizenship in itself usually does not prevent the purchase of an apartment or other real estate that is not agricultural land. However, the purpose of the land and the structure of the object must be checked before the deposit.

A special restrictive regime applies to agricultural land. The law provides for certain exceptions, for example, inheritance by a foreigner or a government decision for a certain Georgian company based on an investment plan. The usual rule for an apartment cannot be transferred to the ground.

No. The extract is the main starting document, but legal verification may require title documents, registration materials, corporate decisions, data on restrictions, construction and the actual condition of the facility.

Cadastral code, purpose, area, address, registered owner, basis of right, mortgage, tax lien, attachment or prohibition, obligations, lease, easement and other records.

To purchase real estate by agreement, a written transaction and registration of the buyer's rights in the Public Register are required. Signing a contract or transferring money without registration does not in itself complete the transfer of ownership.

Not every regular sales transaction requires notarization. The law requires writing and registration, and signatures may be confirmed in an acceptable manner, including by the registering authority. We select a specific form based on the sides, documents and method of submission.

The payment method is consistent with the bank, the form of the transaction and the moment of registration. Bank transfer, conditional mechanism or official digital service are possible if the parties and the object comply with its terms. Money should not be transferred without agreed upon documentation and registration.

Land rights, encumbrances, company powers, construction documents, precise description of the future object, terms, equipment, payments, recalculation of area, responsibility and procedure for registering property.

The law allows for the registration of rights to an object or unit in a building under construction if the required title and construction documents are available. It is also possible to pre-register rights by agreement of the parties, but the applicability and effect are checked for a specific project.

Pre-registration can secure a future right and, as a general rule, exclude the registration of another right to the same object, unless the parties agree otherwise. The conditions, terms and grounds for cancellation must be carefully recorded.

Yes, if the powers of the representative, the form of power of attorney, translations, apostille or legalization and the method of registration comply with the requirements. Sometimes the official remote digital service of the Public Registry may be suitable.

We need precise authority: to choose or buy a specific object, agree on a price, sign an agreement and applications, submit and receive documents, make payments - only to the extent that the principal really intends to provide.

Family and property regime can affect the risks of the transaction, even if the extract indicates one owner. We check the date and basis of acquisition, marital status and the need for additional statements or consents.

Yes, but the procedure for repaying or maintaining the mortgage must be agreed upon in advance with the lender and reflected in the calculation and documents. You cannot rely solely on the seller’s promise to remove the encumbrance after payment.

The object and its condition, term, fee and currency, deposit, utility costs, repairs, owner access, sublease, registration if necessary, early termination and return of property.

The purchase itself does not guarantee a residence permit. A short-term residence permit is possible with registered ownership of real estate, other than agricultural land, with a market value of more than 150,000 USD in GEL equivalent, confirmed by a suitable appraiser, and subject to the fulfillment of other conditions.

Legal review does not replace technical inspection, measurement, engineering diagnostics or independent assessment. If necessary, these checks should be ordered from specialized specialists.

After receiving the cadastral code, information about the parties, the type of object and the required volume, we will agree on one total cost of legal services + VAT. State, notary, translation, banking, appraisal and technical expenses are shown in the agreed calculation.
