Real Estate Legal &
Purchase Assistance Services in Georgia

No. With a Power of Attorney and an apostilled passport, ExpatHub can complete every step of the purchase remotely. The purchase funds must be transferred directly to the seller, as ExpatHub cannot act as an intermediary for the funds transfer.

Allow roughly 2 weeks on average from making your intention to purchase clear to the seller through to transfer of title. Title transfer itself is done at the Public Service Hall and can take from the same day up to 4 business days, with differing fees. A complex deal or heavy contract negotiation can take longer.

The purchase assistance fee is 2.5% of the purchase price plus 18% VAT, with a minimum of 7,500 GEL. This covers comprehensive assistance and legal work from initial research through to completed sale. The fees are paid in three stages: 30% at commencement, 50% once you agree to purchase, and 20% before final signing.

Due diligence is 300 GEL + VAT, preparing registration documents using ExpatHub’s bilingual agreement is 600 GEL + VAT (or 75 GEL per page to review your own), in-person registration assistance is 600 GEL + VAT, representation before the seller is 300 GEL + VAT per hour, and a Power of Attorney is 400 GEL (local) or 600 GEL (foreign) + VAT.

Due diligence (300 GEL + VAT) includes renewing the property extract, checking the owner’s background in the debtor’s registry and for other property or company shares, confirming the property’s address and area, checking for registered legal defects like liens, mortgages, restrictions and obligations, and checking the counterparty’s Power of Attorney if a third party is signing.

No. ExpatHub never accepts commissions or kick-backs from sellers. Because it is a law firm rather than a real estate agency, its interests stay aligned with yours as the buyer, and its in-house Georgian staff negotiate on your behalf so you avoid the “foreigner” price.

Yes. ExpatHub offers a free 30 minute consultation with its real estate experts covering where to buy or rent, yields and investment, banking and mortgage information, and resale potential. It is an information call, not a sales pitch, but it does not include legal advice. Legal advice requires a premium consultation with a lawyer at 300 GEL per hour + VAT.

Yes. 18% VAT applies to all real estate and agent services, including purchase assistance, when the property is located in Georgia. The exception is a general consultation not tied to a specific purchase, where the customer does not normally reside in Georgia and does not plan to.

ExpatHub provides a PoA meeting Georgian legal requirements. If you are in Georgia, the process is simpler and ExpatHub accompanies you to the notary. If you are abroad, ExpatHub emails you the PoA, you get it apostilled in your own country and courier it back, then ExpatHub translates and notarizes it in Georgian before representing you. The PoA is included free with the Real Estate Purchase Assistance package.

No. Any work outside the scope of your package may incur an additional fee, but ExpatHub always informs you in advance and provides an estimate so you can approve it before the work begins.
