Real estate assistance in Georgia
Property search, title checks, lease and purchase agreements for expats and investors.
We help you find the right home or investment property, verify title and encumbrances, negotiate and draft the agreement, and register ownership with the Public Registry — whether you are renting or buying.
Renting and buying property in Georgia as a foreigner
Foreign nationals and companies can buy non-agricultural property in Georgia without restrictions. Ownership is registered with the National Agency of Public Registry; the extract shows the owner and any mortgages or restrictions. An extract costs 20 GEL.
Property can support residence: non-agricultural real estate worth USD 150,000+ can be the basis of a short-term residence permit, and USD 300,000+ supports an investment permit. For renting, a bilingual lease agreement protects both parties. We verify the landlord's title, check the agreement and explain your rights before you sign.
