Buying an apartment abroad is a dream for many, and a necessity for many. Many Georgians who work or live abroad want to have their own corner in their homeland, or simply make a profitable investment. Fortunately, modern technologies and simplified legal procedures make this process much easier than we imagine.

Consultation with a sales manager

The first step always starts with choosing a reliable construction company or agency. Be sure to have an online consultation with a sales manager. They will explain to you:

• What types of apartments are available (in a built or under-construction building);
• What documentation is required;
• How to sign a contract remotely.

It is advisable to ask for a detailed presentation to make sure that the apartment actually meets your expectations.

Preparation of documentation

To buy an apartment, a person living abroad usually needs:

• A copy of their identity card or passport;
• A fully notarized power of attorney (if your acquaintance or lawyer in Georgia will sign on your behalf);
• Bank transfer details.

It is important that all documents are translated into Georgian and notarized.

Payment terms

Payment is usually made by international bank transfer. You can choose:

• A one-time full payment;
• Installments (especially popular for apartments under construction);
• Staged payment, depending on the construction process.

It is important to always check the company's bank details and make sure that the money is transferred to the company's official account, and not to a private individual.

The most important stage is the cadastral service. In Georgia, this process is fast - the apartment is registered in 1-2 business days. If you are not in the country, this process can be carried out by a person you have authorized.

After purchasing an apartment, you must:

• Request an extract from the public registry, where you will already be indicated as the owner;
• Save all payment receipts;
• Consult a lawyer to make sure everything is in order.

Buying an apartment abroad gives the impression of a complicated and tedious process, but in reality, a properly selected company and a professional sales manager make it an easy and safe experience. If you are thinking about purchasing an apartment, start with a consultation - this will give you a complete picture, avoid risks and allow you to calmly make the most important decision.
