How the purchase works
- Decide on the budget and the goal: living, renting out or residency. This sets the city, district and type of building.
- Compare the flat’s price with its district. If it is far below or above typical, find out why.
- Check the developer, the building permit and the Public Registry extract: who owns the land or flat, and whether there is a mortgage or seizure on it.
- Have a lawyer read the contract before the first payment: completion date, penalties for the developer, what the price includes, the instalment schedule.
- Sign the contract and register the flat in your name at the Public Service Hall. It usually takes a few working days.
- If you cannot fly in, all of this can be done by power of attorney, made at a notary in your country with an apostille.
FAQ
Can a foreigner buy an apartment in Georgia?
Yes. Foreigners buy apartments in Georgia on the same terms as locals. Restrictions apply only to agricultural land. You need your passport for the deal.
Can Russian citizens buy property in Georgia?
Yes, there is no ban. Opening a bank account and transferring money can be harder, so agree the payment method with a lawyer before paying a deposit.
Can I buy without coming to Georgia?
Yes, by power of attorney. You choose the flat by video, and a lawyer signs the contract and registers the flat in your name.
What taxes are there when buying?
There is no separate purchase tax, only small registration fees. Property tax for individuals depends on family income, and most buyers pay none or very little. If you rent out, rental income is taxed, usually at 5% for registered landlords.
