Questions & answers
Where is property ownership registered?
At the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR). Ownership of real estate arises upon registration. A registry extract shows the owner and any encumbrances (mortgage, seizure).
Can foreigners buy property in Georgia?
Yes. Foreigners can freely buy apartments, houses and non-agricultural land. Purchase of agricultural land by foreigners is restricted by law.
What should I check before buying?
The registry extract (owner, mortgage, seizure, prohibitions), the seller's authority, permits for new construction, and any utility or other debts.
