Request records for the right property
Start with the cadastral identifier and verify that the address and asset match your proposed agreement. NAPR offers property extracts and informational services covering registered rights, obligations and restrictions. Use its current official channels and check the available service, language and fee. If the seller supplies an extract, check its date and obtain an up-to-date record before relying on it. Official source: NAPR: property records and informational services.
Read ownership and restrictions together
Compare the owner with the proposed contracting party. Ask about joint ownership, authority to act for someone else and any registered obligations or restrictions that affect the transaction. Where an entry is unclear, request the relevant underlying documents and a legal explanation. Do not treat an unfamiliar annotation as automatically harmless or assume a seller's verbal explanation resolves it. Official source: Civil Code of Georgia.
Understand the limits of the search
A title review does not replace inspection of the building, construction documentation or a review of the purchase agreement. Agree who checks those matters and whether further records are required. Repeat relevant checks close to signing or registration because facts can change. Keep the record and your adviser's written explanation with the contract, rather than retaining only a chat message saying the title was checked.
Plan your next steps
- Get the cadastral identifier from the proposed transaction documents.
- Obtain the appropriate current NAPR records.
- Compare the owner, asset and restrictions with the contract.
- Resolve discrepancies and identify additional checks.
- Confirm the registration arrangements before completion.
Legal review checkpoint
Ask a lawyer to explain how each relevant entry affects your transaction and which searches are outside the agreed scope. The useful output is a reasoned assessment, not simply a copy of the extract.
