Who is independent, who is paid, who decides?
- Who pays STRATA: you, the buyer, for a defined scope quoted in writing. STRATA does not take a referral or success fee from developers or agents. Should any third-party fee ever be proposed, it would be disclosed in writing before you engage, and you could decline.
- Developer or agent commissions: when a seller side pays an agent, that is their arrangement; it is disclosed to you where we know it and it does not reduce our independence.
- Separate fees: due diligence, lawyer, surveyor, translator, notary and registry fees are separate and listed in your quote.
- What STRATA does: coordination, document collection, comparisons, checklists, scenario tables and the handover file.
- What requires a licensed professional: legal opinions and contract review (Georgian lawyer), accounting and tax filings (accountant), structural or technical surveys (surveyor), valuations (licensed valuer).
- Who decides: you. The final purchase decision belongs to the buyer. Authorities and banks decide on permits, registrations and financing.
Property is not tax residence
Owning property, registering a company, obtaining a tax status, becoming a tax resident, obtaining a residence permit and operating a rental business are separate processes with separate eligibility rules. One does not grant the other. The investment threshold for a property-based residence permit changed in 2026; current rules must be checked at the time of your purchase, with a qualified professional. See Relocation and tax residence.
Tbilisi or Batumi?
The honest answer depends on your objective. Below is how we frame the comparison in a fit check; the figures for your case are modelled in three clearly labelled scenarios.
| Criterion | Tbilisi | Batumi |
|---|---|---|
| Demand profile | Year-round: residents, students, relocating professionals, business travel | Seasonal: summer tourism, with growing year-round demand near the centre |
| Seasonality | Low | High for short-term rental; long-term demand steadier |
| Liquidity | Deeper resale market, more comparable sales | Thinner outside the sea-front and central zones |
| Target tenant | Long-term residents and professionals | Short-stay visitors; some long-term |
| Construction and developer risk | Present; completion and permit checks required | Higher share of off-plan and tower projects; completion, permit and management checks essential |
| Management requirements | Lighter for long-term rental | Active management or a manager for short-term rental |
| Net-return assumptions | Modelled per property: conservative, base case, optimistic | Modelled per property, with seasonality and management costs netted |
Scenario tables are illustrations built from your inputs and current listings. They are not forecasts and never a guarantee of yield, appreciation, resale or financing.
What we never promise
- Guaranteed rental yield
- Guaranteed capital appreciation
- Guaranteed visa or residence
- Guaranteed tax outcome
- Risk-free investment
- Guaranteed resale
- Guaranteed bank financing
Questions buyers ask
Are you an estate agent?
No. STRATA Property coordinates independent checks and professionals for the buyer. We do not sell developer programmes and we are not a licensed agent.
Do you earn a commission from sellers or developers?
Our fee is paid by you, the buyer, and quoted in writing. If any referral or success fee from a third party were ever proposed, it would be disclosed before you engage and you could decline. See the independence block on this page.
Does buying property give me residence or tax residency?
Not by itself. Owning property, registering a company, obtaining a tax status, becoming a tax resident, obtaining a residence permit and operating a rental are separate processes with separate eligibility rules.
Can you guarantee a rental yield?
No. We model conservative, base-case and optimistic scenarios and label them as scenarios. They are not forecasts or guarantees.
