Horizons Elegance in Batumi

Horizons Elegance is a 32-floor residential building by the developer Horizons Group at 49 Sherif Khimshiashvili Street, in the south of Batumi by New Boulevard. According to the developer, the building has 377 apartments from 40 m², 3-metre ceilings and three lifts. It was completed in December 2018. The sea is 100 to 150 metres away, depending on the description.

Horizons Elegance: the building and the developer

Horizons Group has been working since 2014 and is building several towers in the New Boulevard area. Horizons Elegance has a monolithic frame, aerated concrete walls, double-glazed panoramic windows, underground and open parking, commercial premises, a playground, a reception, security, an intercom and CCTV. At the same address the developer announced another tower, for a TRYP by Wyndham hotel. If the apartment faces that way, we check on site whether construction is going on there and whether it will block the view.

The building is not on the first line: according to reviews, there is a road, a sports ground and a cycle path between it and the beach. The promenade is a few minutes' walk away. How this part of the city works is described on the pages about the Khimshiashvili Street area and New Boulevard.

Buying an apartment in a completed building

The building is completed, so apartments here are more often bought from owners than from the developer. Before the deal we check the Public Registry extract: who the owner is, whether there is a mortgage or a ban, whether the floor area matches. We ask the management company whether there are debts for service charges and utilities. How we handle such a purchase is described on the page about resale property.

The developer sold apartments in white frame, and owners renovated them themselves, so the same building has apartments without finishing, well-renovated ones and ones hastily done up for letting. We inspect such a renovation as specialists: wiring and the panel, bathroom waterproofing, ventilation, signs of leaks and mould. If the renovation is poor, we say honestly how much redoing it will cost, and the buyer can use that sum when negotiating with the seller.

Renovation and letting

We bring a white frame apartment up to a liveable home according to the estimate: bathroom, floors, doors, lighting, kitchen, furniture. How we do it and what it costs is described on the page about white frame renovation.

Small apartments by New Boulevard let well by the day in summer, and demand drops in winter. We calculate income month by month, taking the building service charge into account. We run the listings, check-ins and cleaning and send the owner a report: more on the page about managed daily letting. In winter many owners in this building switch to long lets, and you can hand that over to us too.
