Buying Property in Georgia: Registry, Contracts and Costs

Georgia's public registry offers an important starting point for due diligence. A brochure describes what a developer hopes to provide; a current registry extract helps establish what rights are actually recorded.

Published 14 October 2026

A discrepancy between advertised use, registered land category and the physical property should be clarified before signing.

Start with the National Agency of Public Registry

Obtain a recent extract from the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR). Compare the registered owner, cadastral identification, recorded purpose, restrictions and third-party rights with the proposed transaction. When buying land, check its classification and any limitations applying to foreign buyers. Rules for an apartment should not be assumed to apply to agricultural or other land.

Off-plan construction and delivery obligations

Ask how the developer's rights to the land and building are established. Review permitted works, unit dimensions, finishing specifications, completion milestones, price adjustment provisions and remedies for delay. A management service or rental projection shown in marketing materials is not a contractual commitment unless the documents say so.

Operating budget and rental assumptions

Model building fees, furnishing, repairs, utilities, tax treatment and management charges. Rental scenarios should include vacancy, operating costs and currency movements. An advertised rental guarantee deserves a separate review of the guarantor, exclusions and enforceability rather than being entered as certain income.

Property catalogs grow as information is verified. This guide does not advertise a specific available unit.

Frequently asked questions

Does having a cadastral number complete due diligence?

No. It helps identify the asset, but ownership, restrictions, contract terms, payments and other documents still require examination.

Should guaranteed rent be treated as risk-free income?

No. Examine the signed obligation, counterparty financial strength, exclusions and ownership costs before forming a projection.
