We find houses, plots and apartments in Khelvachauri, check the documents and run the deal through to the registry extract. The main request here is land to build on and a house to live in year-round close to Batumi.
What we check
The registry extract: owner, encumbrances, attachments; the land designation, the zoning and the building coefficient; the plot boundaries on the ground against the cadastre; access and whether machinery can be brought in; utilities — electricity, water, drainage or a septic system; the condition of the house and the plot, with an instrument inspection where needed.
What we take into account in Khelvachauri
People buy a plot here for a specific house, and the main risk is a mismatch. We check what may actually be built on that land: the designation, the zone, the building coefficient, the setbacks. Sometimes the house you have in mind will need a retaining wall costing more than the shell itself, and it is better to know that before the deal.
The second theme is boundaries and water. The fence on the ground frequently does not match the cadastre, and runoff from the plots above crosses your land. The third is unauthorised building: the private sector has many extensions that were never registered, and the discrepancy with the registry passes to the buyer.
The deal
Negotiation, deposit, contract, the Public Service Hall, registration, handover of keys. For buyers from outside Georgia — a power of attorney, settlement through a bank or a notary’s escrow account.
After the purchase: construction, renovation, letting. All services: Khelvachauri; general terms: property search.
