Buying land and property at E-auksion in Uzbekistan

What the 2% covers

• Search: daily screening of e-auksion.uz for up to four weeks and a shortlist with region, category, size, start price, deposit, deadline, instalment flag and a red-flag note per lot.
• Due diligence on each shortlisted lot: title and cadastral data, encumbrances, utilities, permitted use, construction deadlines, seller documents, listing history, a price benchmark and a maximum-bid recommendation.
• Bidding and documentation: platform registration and digital signature, the deposit, the bidding session, the contract, the payment or instalment schedule and discount, the state warrant, boundary marking, cadastral and land-tax registration.
• Also inside the fee: registration of the buyer's company where one is needed, and tax advisory on holding, letting or selling the asset. Quoted separately: construction permits and architectural approvals, an independent valuation or survey.

The fee arises only on a lot you win.

The buyer's own payments on a land lot

These are yours rather than ours, and we lay them out before you approve a lot.

• Deposit on the general scale, as a share of the start price: 50% below 1 BRV, 25% up to 50 BRV, 15% up to 100 BRV, 10% up to 1,000 BRV, 5% up to 5,000 BRV, 4% up to 10,000 BRV, 3% up to 30,000 BRV, 2% up to 50,000 BRV and 1% above (one BRV is 440,000 soums in 2026). State buildings and enforcement sales have their own scales. We take the notice's figure, not the scale's.
• The deposit follows your bid: an offer made outside the step is secured against the offered price, and on land with a start price up to 10,000 BRV your account must hold the deposit on your current bid from the third step. We top up during the session on your instruction.
• Paying the price: ten working days when the final price is below 5,000 BRV, fifteen above, with the deposit credited. Full payment for non-agricultural land within fifteen working days earns a 20% discount, unless the start price had been cut by more than half.
• Instalments on land: equal monthly payments with interest at the Central Bank key rate, for one to ten years depending on the location, with at least 35% down in Tashkent, Nukus and the regional centres and 15% elsewhere, due within fifteen working days. Until the last instalment the warrant carries a no-disposal endorsement: you can build, not sell.
• Covered from the lot's proceeds: the operator's 1% remuneration, registration of the right (5 BRV for a company's plot), the boundary report (2 BRV) and the state warrant, which carries no duty.

How we compare

What to send us

• The brief: what the site is for, regions or districts, size range, budget, whether you want ownership or a lease, and how soon you need it.
• Who the buyer is: an Uzbek company, an individual or a foreign person or company, and whether the company already exists.
• Your cash limits: the deposit you can lock, whether you want instalments, and the maximum total outlay including registration and taxes.

A short summary is enough for the first email. Once we have looked at the task, we tell you how to hand over company, tax and employee documents.

What we read in the lot before you pay a deposit

• The mandatory fields of a land notice: the outline on the YERELEKTRON map, the right on offer with the lease term and draft lease, category and permitted use, area, neighbouring uses, spare capacity on the utility networks, distance to a public road, structures allowed and banned, restrictions, production losses and, in industrial zones, the investment and jobs required.
• What the start price is built on: for ownership the market value; for a lease right a formula of area, territory category, land-tax rate, utilities, permitted use and size. Permitted use moves it: trade and services carry a coefficient of 1.4, manufacturing 0.9, pharmaceuticals and food production 0.8. A relisted plot may come back cheaper, so we read the appraisal, the start price and the listing history separately.
• The registers and the building: the seller's title, mortgages, leases, easements and bans through an extract from the rights register, issued only after the applicant is identified. For a building we confirm the usable area against the total (a workshop listed at 208 m² had 60 m² of usable space), whether equipment, tenants and the land are included, and any condition that the buyer settles the seller's debts. A restriction on an enforcement lot is lifted by the auction record; any other one is a question for the seller.
• On the ground: a bidder may inspect the site and request documents from the day of the notice. We compare the fence line with the outline, the access and the nearest connection point, and say when a valuation is needed to justify a maximum bid.

Bidding day and the paperwork after it

• The notice comes out 30 days before the sale; applications are accepted until 09:00 Tashkent time on the day of the auction and cannot be withdrawn after that; a sale needs at least two bidders. The bidding certificate is free and issued remotely.
• The session opens at 10:00. The step is 10% of the start price, or 5% above 2,000 BRV; each rise gives the others ten minutes, and the last confirmed bid wins. An offer made outside the step is allowed from the day of the notice, stays sealed until the session and then binds you. The runner-up becomes the reserve winner.
• Losing bidders get their deposit back within three working days. A winner who does not pay loses the whole deposit and is barred from the platform for a year, permanently on a repeat, together with the company's founders.
• After payment the operator issues the protocol by the next working day. A lease is confirmed with the digital signature within ten working days and registered within two; for ownership the state warrant is issued within one working day and the right registered within two. Boundary marking follows within three working days, and only then does the right exist; the register extract is your proof.

Obligations that come with the plot

• Commissioning deadlines run from the allocation date: two years for a plot up to 0.1 hectare, three up to 1 hectare, four up to 10 hectares and five above, unless the plot's documents say otherwise. Miss it and the khokimiyat must sue to cancel the right and re-auction the plot; you get back what you paid less costs, only out of the repeat-sale proceeds, and you pay for demolition.
• A lease right can be transferred within its term, but the construction deadlines do not restart and an unpaid instalment travels with the plot. A leased plot can be privatised after full payment if it fits the town-planning documents, by an Uzbek citizen or company only.
• Industrial-zone lots admit legal entities only, come as a lease of no less than ten years with investment obligations set by the zone's directorate, and are terminated if you have not begun fulfilling them within six months.
• Foreign buyers and foreign-invested companies cannot privatise land, hold non-agricultural land only on a lease of up to 25 years allocated through the Cabinet of Ministers, and since 1 May 2026 cannot bid for agricultural leases. A state building they buy comes with the land on lease.
• Rent on state land is paid as land tax. Away from Tashkent, Nukus and the regional capitals a newly sold plot pays half the rate until commissioning, for up to three years, clawed back with interest if commissioning is late.

What you receive

• A shortlist of lots against your brief with a red-flag note on each and the deposit, deadline and price basis listed.
• A written due-diligence memo per lot: title and cadastral data, encumbrances, utilities, permitted use, obligations, price benchmark and a maximum-bid recommendation.
• After the win: the signed contract, the payment schedule, the state warrant, the cadastral registration extract and the tax registration confirmation.
