Why Batumi is an interesting market 🌅

Benefits of investing in new buildings 🏢
- Modern engineering and insulation reduce maintenance costs in the early years.
- Warranties and developer responsibility on structural and systems issues.
- Attractive purchase options when buying during construction (with careful evaluation).
- Professional property management and turnkey packages simplify renting from abroad.
Common risks and how to reduce them ⚠️
- Construction risk: verify permits, funding, and realistic timelines before committing.
- Developer reputation: check completed projects and speak with current owners.
- Market seasonality: Batumi's demand fluctuates with tourism, so choose a model that suits your tolerance for variability.
Research checklist before you buy ✅
- Location: proximity to the sea, transport links and neighborhood amenities.
- Permits and legal status: construction permission, land title and zoning.
- Timeline and penalties: clear milestones and clauses for delays.
- Finishing level: delivered condition — shell, white box, or turnkey.
- Operating costs: HOA rules, maintenance fees and management options.
- Target tenants: tourists, expats, families — each requires different layouts and services.
Financing and taxes — practical notes 💳
- Cash purchases are straightforward; mortgages may be available to residents and some non-residents depending on lender policies.
- Payment schedules: stage payments and escrow arrangements protect buyers.
- Taxes: consult a local accountant to understand purchase taxes and income tax on rentals so you can model net returns realistically.

- Set a realistic budget and choose payment method.
- Shortlist 3–5 projects and perform due diligence.
