Bishkek, Nov. 9, 2026 /Kabar/. In Kyrgyzstan, construction companies have been prohibited from selling apartments during the initial excavation or foundation stage. The sale of residential units is now permitted only after the building’s structural shell has been erected and roofing work has been completed. President Sadyr Zhaparov announced during the meeting with residents of Moskovsky District.
According to the head of state, more than 40 construction companies had previously sold apartments during the early stages of construction but subsequently failed to complete the buildings or return the buyers' money.
The president stated that criminal cases are being initiated against these companies, their assets are being identified, and the individuals responsible are being taken into custody.
Construction on some of these problematic projects is continuing under state supervision, after which the apartments are handed over to the citizens.
Some citizens have been unable to receive the apartments they paid for, in some cases, for as long as 5 to 10 years.
In light of this, restrictions have been imposed on the sale of residential property during the early stages of construction.
