FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to the questions clients ask before choosing a property.
Contact us01 Can foreigners legally buy property in Georgia?
Yes. Foreign investors can legally buy apartments and most types of real estate in Georgia, especially residential and commercial properties. This makes Georgia one of the most accessible real estate markets for international buyers.
At SPG, we do not only help the client choose a property; we first study the legal side of the developer and the project. Our team checks the legal status of the developer, ownership documents, project registration, contract terms, and any potential legal risks before recommending the investment to our clients.

02 Is it safe to buy from Georgian developers?
Buying from a developer can be safe when the developer is properly studied and verified. The real risk is not Georgia itself, but choosing the wrong developer, the wrong project, or signing without proper assessment.
This is why SPG applies three professional assessments before working with any Georgian developer:
Legal Assessment – checking ownership, permits, registration, contract structure, and legal risks.
Financial Assessment – studying the developer’s stability, delivery ability, project progress, and financial reliability.
Investment & Profit Assessment – analyzing the location, price, rental potential, resale value, and expected return on investment.
Only after these stages do we recommend a project to our investors.

03 Which is better for investment: Tbilisi or Batumi?
There is no single answer for every investor. Tbilisi and Batumi both offer strong opportunities, but they serve different investment goals.
Tbilisi is usually preferred for long-term rental demand, business activity, students, families, and stable occupancy. Batumi is more attractive for tourism, sea-view apartments, hotel-style projects, and seasonal rental income.
At SPG, we do not recommend a location based on popularity only. We study the investor’s budget, investment goal, expected return, risk tolerance, payment plan, and exit strategy. Based on this accurate study, we guide the client toward the location that best fits their financial objective.

04 What ROI can I realistically expect from Georgian real estate?
ROI depends on many factors, including the city, exact location, developer, purchase price, renovation quality, rental strategy, management quality, and seasonality.
At SPG, we are not only real estate consultants; we also manage our clients’ apartments through a trusted rental management process. This gives us real market experience, not only theoretical numbers. We understand occupancy, daily rates, monthly income, operating costs, and net returns because we follow real apartments after purchase.
Our rental management platform also allows clients to have a clear and regular look at their investment performance, income, expenses, and returns. This gives the investor transparency and confidence after buying.

05 Is off-plan property a good investment in Georgia?
Off-plan property can be a very good investment when selected correctly. It may offer lower entry prices, flexible installments, and strong capital appreciation by the time the project is completed.
However, it also requires careful study. The investor must check the developer’s credibility, construction progress, delivery timeline, contract penalties, payment plan, and market demand in that location.
This is where SPG’s developer assessment becomes essential. We study the project legally, financially, and from an investment perspective before presenting it to our clients. Our goal is not only to sell a unit, but to protect the investor and help them choose a project with real potential.

06 Should I buy a black frame, white frame, or fully renovated apartment?
This depends on the investor’s budget, timeline, and investment strategy.
A fully renovated apartment is easier and faster to rent, but it may come at a higher price. A black frame or white frame apartment can sometimes offer better value, but it requires the right renovation team, proper supervision, and cost control.
At SPG, we support clients who buy black frame or white frame apartments through the renovation process. Our aim is to help clients achieve higher-quality results with less cost and less waiting time. We assist in planning, finishing, furnishing, and preparing the unit for rental or resale in a professional way.
This service is especially important for foreign investors who cannot stay in Georgia to follow up on the renovation themselves.

07 What are the main risks in the Georgian real estate market?
The main risks include choosing an unreliable developer, buying in a weak location, overpaying, depending on unrealistic ROI promises, poor renovation quality, delayed delivery, weak rental management, and lack of legal review.
At SPG, we reduce these risks through a complete advisory approach. We assess developers legally, financially, and from an investment perspective. We also study the location based on the client’s budget and target return. After the purchase, we can support renovation and rental management, which means the client is guided before, during, and after the investment.

08 Can I resell the property easily in the future?
Resale depends on the quality of the property, location, purchase price, building reputation, view, renovation quality, rental history, and market demand.
A good investment should be selected with the exit strategy in mind from the beginning. At SPG, we study not only how much the property may generate in rent, but also how attractive it may be for resale in the future.
Our investment approach is based on helping the client buy the right property, in the right location, at the right price, with a clear plan for rental income and future capital growth.
