Property transactions and land rights in Uzbekistan

We provide comprehensive legal support for real estate transactions in Uzbekistan — from initial due diligence through to closing — for investors, developers, corporate occupiers, and private clients.

Real estate transactions in Uzbekistan require careful navigation of title, land use rights, utility connections, and regulatory approvals. Our team conducts thorough due diligence to identify and mitigate risks before they become problems, and structures transactions to deliver the commercial outcome our clients need.

We advise on residential and commercial property — offices, retail space, industrial facilities, logistics warehouses, and development land. Our clients include international investors acquiring assets in Uzbekistan, local developers, and multinational companies securing premises for their Uzbek operations.
