In Georgia, as in many other countries around the world, the trend of constructing multi-storey residential buildings is rapidly increasing. This is particularly evident in Tbilisi and Batumi, where demand for modern housing and real estate investment continues to grow.
Operating under EU directives, Georgia has simplified the acquisition and registration of ownership rights over apartments and residential units through a streamlined “one-stop-shop” principle, making the country especially attractive for foreign investors.
However, despite the fact that purchasing real estate today appears to be a simple process, without proper legal procedures the risks remain significant—and often quite substantial.
One of the most common challenges involves unfinished or delayed construction projects: you make an investment, the developer receives the payment, yet the agreed-upon handover of the apartment cannot be fulfilled. Buyers may wait months or even years for completion, often with no tangible result.
At such times, it is essential to take the correct legal steps. Importantly, you do not need to wait for construction to be concluded—whether on time or indefinitely. You can protect your violated rights at any stage with the help of a qualified real estate lawyer in Georgia.
Our team offers comprehensive legal support to safeguard and recover your investment, providing professional assistance for construction disputes, developer breaches, real estate fraud prevention, and more. We ensure that you receive any penalties stipulated in the contract, as well as compensation for lost income resulting from the developer’s delay in fulfilling contractual obligations. You are also entitled to statutory annual interest in accordance with Georgian property law.
Therefore, delays in construction are not the end of the road. With many years of experience, our team provides full legal assistance to help you obtain your investment and all compensations guaranteed by Georgian legislation and established court practice. This applies equally to local buyers and foreign citizens purchasing property in Georgia.
This goal can be achieved in two ways:
-
Negotiation (out-of-court settlement with the developer)
-
Court proceedings (litigation led by an experienced construction dispute lawyer)
Our team has extensive experience in both approaches, with dozens of successfully resolved cases involving major projects such as White Square, ARCHI, Next, Horizons Group, European Village, and others. These cases highlight our strong capabilities in protecting clients affected by developer delays in Georgia.
Every problem is solvable. It is never too late to begin. Resolving your issues and protecting your interests is our mission and our profession. If you need a property lawyer or legal support for any stage of your real estate investment in Georgia, our team is ready to assist you.
