How to buy property in Georgia

Registration
1–4 working days
Buyers
foreigners, no quota
Registry
NAPR, state-run

Ownership in Georgia is transferred through the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR). There is no months-long conveyancing chain: depending on the service chosen, registration happens the same day (350 GEL), within one working day (270 GEL), or on the standard track within four working days (150 GEL) (Source: NAPR, Fees and Terms, as of 21 September 2026). That speed is a genuine advantage — but it moves all the real work upfront, into due diligence.

That is where we focus. We verify the developer, permits, title status and contract clauses before any payment is triggered, and we attend the appointment with you or act under power of attorney.

Frequently asked questions about the process

How does the land registry work in Georgia?+

Ownership is recorded electronically at the Public Registry (NAPR). The entry is the decisive proof of title and can be checked online.

Do I need a notary?+

Not always. Many contracts are executed directly at the registry; notarisation matters mainly for powers of attorney issued abroad.

How do you vet a developer in Georgia?+

We look at completed projects, delivery record, ownership structure, active construction sites and permit status — and speak to buyers from earlier phases.

What are the risks?+

With pre-sales the main risks are construction delay and build quality. We therefore vet developers and contract clauses before any payment and favour projects with a proven record.
