Real Estate Transactions
& Due Diligence.
Real estate transactions in Georgia are fast, but hidden risks abound. Whether you are developing a hotel complex or buying a private residence, our property lawyers provide the deep due diligence required to ensure your title is clear and unshakeable.
Market Context
High Growth, Hidden Risks
Georgia's real estate market is booming, with simplified registration procedures at the Public Registry. However, the speed of registration often masks underlying issues: encumbrances from previous owners, zoning conflicts, or disputes over boundaries.
At Tbilisi Law, we go beyond the basic extract. We investigate the full history of the property, check for overlapping cadastral codes, and review city planning zones to ensure your development plans are viable before you sign.
