Key Checkpoints
What matters under Georgian law
What matters under Georgian law
- Georgia is generally open to foreign real-estate ownership, but land classification and registry detail matter.
- A contract should not just record price; it should allocate risk, payment timing, possession, defects, and registration responsibilities.
- Lease disputes and deposit problems usually start with vague clauses, not dramatic facts.
