How to remotely buy an apartment in Batumi and complete the transaction

The buyer does not always need to come to Georgia to choose and purchase an apartment in Batumi. Some transactions with developers and owners can be carried out remotely if you determine in advance the method of signing, check the documents and fix the procedure for payments and registration.

The specific scheme depends on the object, the seller, the citizenship of the buyer and the country in which the documents are drawn up. Therefore, remote purchasing should not be based on a universal promise “everything according to the passport,” but on a clear plan specifically for the selected transaction.

1. Defining the task and budget

First, the buyer communicates the goal, budget, desired area, apartment format, completion date and location requirements. If installment plans are being considered, you must indicate the possible down payment and a comfortable schedule.

The more accurate the criteria, the fewer random objects you will have to look at remotely.

2. Personal selection

The agent creates a short list of options and explains the differences: area, stage of construction, finishing, view, infrastructure, maintenance costs, payment terms and possible risks.

It is important to get not dozens of presentations, but several objects that truly correspond to the buyer’s task.

3. Video viewing of the object and location

For the finished apartment, a detailed video viewing is carried out: the entrance, elevators, common areas, layout, state of repair, view from the windows and the surroundings of the house. For a project under construction, the site, the actual progress of work, neighboring buildings, the road to the sea and the infrastructure of the area are shown.

A recorded promotional video does not replace a live inspection of a specific apartment or construction site.

4. Document verification

Before depositing a significant amount, the cadastral code, ownership, restrictions and details of the seller are checked. In a new building, the developer, land plot, permitting documentation, contract and conditions for registering the buyer’s rights are additionally studied.

The buyer should receive copies of material documents and a clear explanation of the inspection results.

5. Coordination and translation of the contractBefore signing, the object, price, payment schedule, transfer period, state of finishing, responsibility of the parties, assignment and refund procedure are agreed upon. If the contract is drawn up in Georgian, a clear translation is required.

All material promises - discount, furniture, renovations, views, parking or special conditions - must be reflected in the contract or application.

6. Selecting a signing method

Depending on the transaction, the contract can be signed remotely in a manner proposed and accepted by the developer, or through an authorized representative by power of attorney. For a power of attorney executed outside of Georgia, notarization, apostille or legalization and translation into Georgian may be required.

Requirements vary depending on the country and document, so the signing method is confirmed before the money is transferred.

7. Secure payment

Payment is made only according to the details recorded in the contract or official invoice. It is necessary to check the recipient, purpose of payment, currency and conversion rate. After each payment, the buyer saves a bank confirmation and receives a document from the seller or developer.

You should not transfer money to personal or unconfirmed details only on the basis of correspondence in the messenger.

8. Registration and receipt of documents

After signing and fulfilling the necessary conditions, the ownership or other right provided for by the transaction is registered in the Public Register. The buyer receives an official statement indicating the property and the registered copyright holder.

For real estate under construction, it is important to understand in advance what rights are registered before the completion of the house and when the finished apartment will be registered.

9. Acceptance of the apartment

After completion of construction or purchase of a finished object, acceptance is carried out. The area, finishing, windows, doors, engineering systems, equipment and compliance with the contract are checked. Detected deficiencies are recorded before the final act is signed, if the terms of the transaction allow this.

Is it possible to completely buy an apartment without visiting?In many cases, yes, but not every object uses the same schema. The possibility of a remote transaction is confirmed after checking the seller, developer, contract and registration method.
