From the character of Tbilisi to the horizons of the Black Sea, Georgia invites you to explore several ways of living. A city apartment and a coastal pied-à-terre meet different needs: we help you set out your criteria before comparing.
Tbilisi and Batumi: two starting points
Tbilisi is the Georgian capital. Batumi is a port city located on the Black Sea. These two settings lend themselves to different projects: a regular urban presence, a pied-à-terre for stays, or a property to consider for letting. Begin with the reasons that would genuinely bring you there.
Linking location to your habits
In a city, the choice of a neighbourhood matters as much as that of the property. Note the shops, the access routes, the useful transport and the immediate surroundings. For a project on the Batumi coast, also consider your stay schedule and the services available during the periods that interest you.
Knowing the condition in which the property will be delivered
A visual presentation may show a final result without detailing what is included. Ask for the exact condition of the property, the planned specifications, the fittings and any works remaining at your expense. For a property under construction, compare the description and plans against the contract, then have the schedule and delivery terms clarified.
Considering use and management together
If you are away for part of the year, identify who will be able to access the property, oversee its upkeep and deal with incidents. Ask for a description of the services provided, the planned reports and the costs. A project intended for letting also calls for examining the periods targeted and the assumptions behind any income estimate.
Having the documents checked before deciding
Have the title, the seller’s identity, the contractual commitments and the conditions of use examined by an independent professional. Note the documents still missing and the answers to be obtained. Keep an organised file, with the versions received and their date, so that everyone involved works on the same elements.

The discussion with Jonathan Lombi begins with these criteria: they make it possible to distinguish what matches your project from what still warrants a check.
Your questions
A few pointers to move forward.
Tbilisi or Batumi for a property project?
Tbilisi offers a living environment in the capital; Batumi opens up an option on the Black Sea coast. The choice depends on your intended use, your travels and the periods when you wish to be on site.
What should you check for an apartment under construction?
Request the plans, the specifications, the delivery status, the included fittings and the contractual timetable. Have the documents and the seller’s commitments examined before deciding.
Can the property be managed remotely?
This is arranged by identifying the service providers, their duties, the costs and the monitoring arrangements. Request a detailed contract and plan how works and incidents will be handled during your absence.
