Checks before a transaction
We establish what right is registered, who owns the property, whether there is a mortgage, attachment, lease or other restriction, and whether the agreement reflects the actual legal position.
Contract and payment structure
We structure payment stages, handover, registration, deadlines, consequences of delay and documentary conditions so that the transaction mechanics are clear before money changes hands.
Property disputes
Where a dispute has already arisen, we assess ownership documents and possession, contractual obligations and registry records, and prepare negotiations, interim measures or court proceedings as the case requires.

Questions & Answers
Questions before a property transaction or dispute
What should be checked before buying property in Georgia?
Is a Public Registry extract enough?
It is an essential starting document, but not always sufficient. Depending on the property and the transaction, other documents, authority issues and factual circumstances may also need to be checked.
Can you draft or review a lease agreement?
Yes. We review the term, rent, deposit, repairs, permitted use, termination, liability and other practical provisions.
How can I protect myself when buying in a development project?
The developer and project documents, payment schedule, handover terms, delay consequences and the mechanism for final ownership registration should be assessed before signing.
Can a foreign buyer handle the legal part of a property transaction remotely?
Many preparatory steps can be managed remotely. The final procedure depends on the transaction, signing method and any representation documents that are required.
Are you buying, selling or disputing property in Georgia?
Send the registry extract, contract or draft document and a short explanation of the issue. We first check the chain of title, restrictions, registration position and the practical risks of the transaction.
