Question 1

Why invest in Batumi real estate?

Accepted Answer

Batumi has emerged as one of the highest-yielding off-plan property markets in Europe, combining 10–15% projected rental yields, no foreign ownership restrictions, and one of the most favourable tax regimes in the region (5% flat rental income tax, no annual property tax for most owners). Tourism arrivals to Adjara have grown consistently year-on-year, and the city is rapidly attracting international hotel brands including Wyndham, Radisson, Rotana, and Pullman, supporting both rental demand and capital appreciation.

Question 2

What ROI can I expect from off-plan property in Batumi?

Accepted Answer

Projected annual ROI on Batumi off-plan property typically ranges from 10% to 15%, depending on location, branding, and management structure. Premium branded developments in established tourist zones (Gonio, New Boulevard, Old Town) sit at the higher end. These figures reflect rental yield after completion and assume professional short-term rental management. Capital appreciation between off-plan launch and delivery has historically averaged 25–40% in Batumi, providing a second layer of return.

Question 3

Can foreigners buy property in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Georgia places no restrictions on foreign ownership of residential property. Non-residents purchase in their own name with the same rights as Georgian citizens — no residency permit, local partner, or company structure is required. Property registration is completed at the Public Service Hall and typically takes one business day. Most purchase transactions can be completed remotely.

Question 4

What is off-plan property and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Off-plan property is bought directly from the developer before construction is complete. Buyers secure today’s pre-launch pricing and pay in milestone instalments tied to construction progress, typically with no interest charges. At completion, the property is registered to the buyer. Off-plan investing offers two return mechanisms: capital appreciation as the project progresses toward delivery, and rental yield once the property is operational.

Question 5

What taxes apply to property investment in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Georgia’s tax framework is among the most investor-friendly in the region. Rental income is taxed at a flat 5% for individuals. There is no annual property tax for owners with annual household income below GEL 40,000 (approximately $14,500). Capital gains are tax-exempt if the property is held for more than two years. There are no inheritance, wealth, or stamp taxes on property.
