- Cadastral code
- The unique identification number assigned to a registered parcel of land or property in Georgia's Public Registry, used to identify the specific property in any transaction.
- Public Registry
- Georgia's official register of real property rights and transactions.
- Off-plan
- A property purchased before construction is complete, typically directly from a developer, based on plans and renderings rather than a finished unit.
- Handover
- The point at which a developer transfers physical possession of a completed unit to its buyer — distinct from construction completion, which can happen earlier.
- White frame
- A common Georgian new-build condition level: walls plastered and ready for paint, but without flooring, fixtures, or interior finishing.
- Black frame
- An earlier-stage Georgian new-build condition level: structural shell and utilities roughed in, but walls not yet finished.
- Green frame
- A Georgian new-build condition level between black and white frame, with some finishing work complete — the exact scope can vary by developer, so always confirm specifics.
- Turnkey
- A property that is fully finished and ready to move into, with no further work required by the buyer.
- Price per m²
- A property's price divided by its total area in square metres — a common way to compare properties of different sizes.
- Encumbrance
- Any legal claim, lien, mortgage, or restriction attached to a property that could affect the owner's ability to transfer clear rights to a buyer.
- Due diligence
- The process of independently checking a property's legal, physical, and financial status before committing to buy it.
- Deposit
- A sum paid by a buyer to reserve or secure a property ahead of full payment — terms vary by transaction and should always be confirmed in writing.
- Power of attorney
- A legal document authorising one person to act on another's behalf — commonly used by buyers or sellers who cannot be physically present for a transaction.
- Instalment plan / developer financing
- A payment structure, offered directly by a developer, that lets a buyer pay for an off-plan or new-build unit in scheduled parts rather than a single lump sum.
- Bank-financed / mortgage-compatible
- A listing the advertiser has indicated is compatible with buyer financing through a bank or lender — this reflects the advertiser's own claim, not a bank's pre-approval.
- Verified (Access Home)
- A specific, limited check Access Home has performed on a listing, agent, agency, developer, or the information provided — see our Trust & Verification page for exactly what each badge does and does not mean.
- Floor plan
- A scaled diagram showing a property's room layout and dimensions, distinct from ordinary photography.
- Rendering / visualisation
- A computer-generated image representing how a property or development is expected to look, used before or during construction — always distinguished from real photography on Access Home.
- Buildable area vs. total area
- For land or a house on its own plot, the internal/building area is distinct from the land/plot size — always check which figure a listing is showing.
- Under offer
- A listing status indicating a buyer's offer has been accepted but the transaction is not yet finalised.
