We find apartments, houses and plots in Ozurgeti, check the documents and run the deal through to the registry extract. The town is not a resort, people buy mostly to live here, and the checks are built around the documents and the engineering.
What we check
The registry extract: owner, encumbrances, attachments, charges; the actual layout and floor area against the documents; the legality of extensions and added floors in the private sector; arrears on utilities; the condition of the risers, the wiring and the moisture levels, with an instrument inspection where needed.
What we take into account in Ozurgeti
The first is layout changes without documents. In Soviet-era flats this is common, and the discrepancy with the registry surfaces at the deal and at bank valuation if the buyer is taking a loan. We compare the plan with the actual flat before the deposit and say what can be legalised.
The second is engineering. Aluminium wiring, cast iron risers and traces of old leaks under fresh finishes determine the real cost of ownership. We record the findings with photographs and measurements: that makes for a concrete conversation with the seller rather than an exchange of impressions.
The deal
Negotiation, deposit, contract, support at the Public Service Hall, registration of title, 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: renovation, custom furniture, letting. All services: Ozurgeti; general terms: property search.
