Disputes with property developers in Georgia
When you buy a flat in a new build, the biggest risk is the developer. We help buyers — including foreigners — get their flat or their money back, through negotiation or in court.

Typical problems are missed completion dates, a flat that differs from the contract, a mortgage on the land or the project, the same flat sold to several people, and an insolvent developer. Each needs a different approach.
First we review the contract, the payments, the Public Registry records and the building permits. Then we choose the strategy: negotiation, a claim for the contractual penalty and damages, terminating the contract and recovering the money, securing the claim — for example, by freezing property — or filing a claim in the developer's insolvency.

Questions & answers
The developer is late — what can I do?
Depending on the contract, you can claim the penalty, damages, or terminate the contract and get your money back. We start by reviewing the contract.
Can you handle this while I live abroad?
Yes. We act for you under a power of attorney — in negotiations and in court.
What should I do before paying for a flat?
Check the developer, the landowner, mortgages and permits, and have a lawyer read the contract. It is the cheapest protection there is.
