Key legal checkpoints

Property matters are assessed based on the specific property and transaction. Relevant checks may include:

  • Ownership and registration status
  • Registered mortgages, liens, seizures or other encumbrances
  • Restrictions affecting the property
  • Cadastral information and boundaries
  • Legal status and permitted use of the land
  • Consistency between registry information and transaction documents
  • Authority of the seller, lessor or representative
  • Applicable requirements for registration of the transaction
  • Special legal requirements applicable to the particular type of property or transaction

Where relevant, this includes the Civil Code of Georgia, legislation governing registration of rights to immovable property, and the rules and procedures of the National Agency of Public Registry.

  • Ignoring discrepancies between cadastral and registration information
  • Failing to verify the authority of a representative acting under a power of attorney
  • Treating registration as a purely technical step without considering the underlying legal issues
  • Making payment before the relevant legal and documentary checks are completed
  • Overlooking land-use or property-status restrictions
