Buying Property in Georgia: NAPR Extract vs Cadastral Plan
Choose Georgia’s public-registry extract, cadastral plan and supporting-document services for the right questions before buying a home or plot.

Coverage: Georgia National Agency of Public Registry services; investigate the particular right, parcel and transaction requirements with a competent adviser.
Start with the registered interest and cadastral code
Georgia’s National Agency of Public Registry, NAPR, lists real-estate register extracts and cadastral-plan services. Before requesting material, ask the seller to identify the exact interest offered and the relevant property or cadastral references. Keep the advertisement’s address beside those identifiers.
A plot, an apartment and associated parking can require different documentary connections. Put the marketed components on separate rows. An appealing pin position or development name does not establish which registered interest will be transferred to you.
Choose the appropriate registry information
NAPR’s informational-service guidance distinguishes an extract from other information about registered rights, ownership-related obligations, public-law restrictions and tax pledges or mortgages. Ask the transaction adviser which outputs are required for the purchase investigation.
Keep the requested scope and issue date with each result. If an entry needs explanation, ask which underlying act or record should be obtained. A summary can identify a matter to investigate without explaining every practical consequence for the proposed acquisition.
- Record the exact registered and cadastral references.
- Agree the information scope with the transaction adviser.
- Keep dates and supporting-document requests together.
Read the cadastral plan alongside the legal enquiry
The agency separately lists preparation of a cadastral plan and cadastral-map services. Use the spatial material to identify the property and formulate extent or access questions, while keeping the rights investigation on its own worksheet line.
NAPR’s real-estate service catalogue also includes document-copy enquiries and technical-inventory information. Ask which material can help explain a mismatch between the advertised layout or extent and the supplied papers. Do not redraw a legal boundary from a marketing map to make the description appear consistent.
Fictional example: a plot and a neighbouring access strip
This original scenario does not describe a Georgian listing or registry finding.
The road is visible but the right is unexplained
A buyer locates a plot and sees an access strip beside it. The seller describes the strip as the entrance, but the supplied documents do not explain the relevant right or included land. The buyer records the plot reference and the access question separately.
The adviser is asked which registry information and underlying documents establish the proposed arrangement. The map remains a useful location reference, rather than proof of an unrestricted right to use the strip.
Complete the purchase evidence
Arrange suitable condition, boundary, access and intended-use enquiries and ask which records should be refreshed before commitment. For an overseas buyer, obtain advice based on the actual property and buyer circumstances rather than treating an advertisement as a statement of acquisition eligibility.

Frequently asked questions
Is a NAPR extract the same as a cadastral plan?
They are separately listed services. Use registry information for the relevant rights enquiry and the plan for spatial identification, with the adviser’s explanation.
What if an entry needs more explanation?
Ask which underlying document or additional official information is required and keep its reference with the relevant entry.
Does a visible access road settle the right to use it?
No. Ask for the relevant rights and document investigation and compare it with the physical route.
