How to Buy a New Development by the Sea in Batumi: A Step-by-Step Guide and Tips for Choosing the Right Property

Therefore, people primarily seek to buy apartments in Batumi in new residential complexes.
Modern new developments offer a completely different level of comfort:

• Infrastructure: Swimming pools, spa centers, and coworking spaces located right within the building.
• Passive Income: Many complexes are designed specifically for rental purposes through management companies.
• Capital Appreciation: Entering a project at the excavation stage ("Black Frame") allows you to earn up to 30–40% by the time the building is completed.

Batumi is very diverse. If your goal is to buy an apartment in Batumi by the sea, it is crucial to understand the differences between the districts.

New Boulevard

The epicenter of elite development. It features a wide promenade, dancing fountains, and modern shopping malls. This is an ideal place for investment: tourists love this area for its spaciousness and proximity to the beach.

Heroes' Alley (Alley of Heroes) 

The city's business center, where the tallest skyscrapers are being built. If you want an apartment by the sea from a developer with panoramic views of the entire city and mountains, this is the place for you. However, keep the high building density in mind.

Makhinjauri and Gonio

For those seeking quiet and the cleanest water. There is less city bustle here, and nature comes right up to the doorstep of the complexes.

Nuances of Choosing the Floor and Orientation

A sea view is wonderful, but in Batumi, you must account for humidity. Experienced real estate agents know: apartments on the sunny side are drier and warmer in winter, which is critical for preventing mold. It is practically impossible to assess a building's insolation (sunlight exposure) on your own using a map—you need to know the wind patterns and the density of neighboring developments.

To ensure the transaction is safe, we recommend sticking to the following plan.

Step 1. Define Your Goal

Clearly formulate your objective. Do you plan to live here permanently, visit for vacations, or rent out the property? The type of real estate depends on this: a residential building (gas connection, lower utility tariffs) or a hotel complex (reception, service, but higher maintenance fees).

Step 2. Market Analysis and Choosing a Reliable Partner

Many people try to buy an apartment in Batumi directly from the developer, believing it to be cheaper. This is a common myth. Prices at developers and real estate agencies are identical—this is a rule of the Georgian market.
However, working with an agency gives you a strategic advantage:

• Objectivity: A developer's sales department will only praise their own project, staying silent about the downsides. An agency compares dozens of properties and honestly tells you where completion is delayed or where concrete quality is poor.
• Access to Private Sales: Often, the best units are snapped up by investors before the official sales launch. We have access to these databases.

Step 3. Viewing Properties (Online or Offline)

You don't necessarily have to fly to Georgia for the first introduction. We organize detailed video tours, showing not just the apartment, but also the entrance, the courtyard, and the actual distance to the sea.

Step 4. Legal Due Diligence

Even if the building looks finished, it is important to check the documentation. Is there a completion certificate (Act of Commissioning)? Is the land under a lien by a bank? Our legal department conducts a due diligence audit of every property before offering it to a client.

Step 5. Registration of the Deal

In Georgia, this process is simplified to the maximum. The transaction is registered at the Public Service Hall (House of Justice) in just one day. Foreigners only need an international passport. You become a full-fledged owner, and these rights are protected by the state.

The desire to save time and walk into the first sales office you see often leads to mistakes.

1. Missed Deadlines: A delay in building completion of 1–2 years is not an uncommon occurrence. We know the reputation of every developer and filter out the unreliable ones.
2. Hidden Fees: Sometimes, after the purchase, it turns out you need to pay extra for utility connections or setting up utility accounts.
3. "White Frame" Quality: The concept of a "semi-finished" state (White Frame) differs between companies. It is important to fix a specific list of works in the contract.
