Where SafeBuy operates
The market where SafeBuy connects research to listings, valuation and registry checks. Apartments and land need separate treatment: agricultural land is significantly restricted for foreign buyers.
Data, buyer rules and practical checks →A broad urban rental market with substantial regional differences. Purchase tax depends on the region and on whether the home is new or resale; the price and yield figures here measure different populations.
Data, buyer rules and practical checks →Needs a fresh tax check, especially for nonresidents: there is a specific nonresident acquisition rate with exceptions. Buying an ordinary property no longer opens the former Golden Visa route.
Data, buyer rules and practical checks →Separate the property economics from residence-programme eligibility before comparing anything. No national price per square metre is shown here until a comparable benchmark is reviewed.
Data, buyer rules and practical checks →Needs a detailed operating and tax budget, particularly for an owner living abroad. The notarial process is established, but acquisition charges and local taxes are material. A Paris price is not used here as a national benchmark.
Data, buyer rules and practical checks →The national benchmark is a modelled existing apartment, not Munich or Berlin prices. Transfer tax is set by federal state, and nonresident mortgage funding is not assumed here.
Data, buyer rules and practical checks →Choose the emirate and property before comparing the investment. Dubai has designated foreign-ownership areas and its own registration and holiday-home rules. The UAE benchmark below covers several cities; it must not be substituted for a Dubai apartment or a building's actual expenses.
Data, buyer rules and practical checks →Compare sourced gross rental yield estimates in European property markets, with sample dates, coverage and the costs headline yields leave out.
Compare published property price benchmarks, their geographic coverage and what a budget might buy before taxes and purchase costs.
Compare country-specific purchase taxes, regional variations and nonresident rules, with links to the underlying authorities.
Research foreign residential ownership, land restrictions, financing and residence conditions before choosing a country.
If Georgia fits your shortlist, SafeBuy connects the research to actual properties and local purchase support. Check the property and land classification before committing.
