How to protect yourself from fraud when buying a house?
To prevent fraud when buying a house and check the legality of a construction object, the dshk.shaffofqurilish.uz geoportal has been launched.
Through this system, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services, you can check information about construction objects, identify illegal constructions, and familiarize yourself with urban planning documents.
The portal also has a special register of objects with violations. It contains the addresses, areas, and photos of the objects.
You can also find out the current status of a construction object using colored markers on an interactive map. In particular, blue indicates that construction work is continuing legally, red indicates that work has been suspended, and black indicates that construction has been canceled.
If the construction object that the buyer is interested in is not displayed on the map at all, this may mean that it is not officially registered.
In addition, the system also allows you to check whether the object has been taken under state control, whether it is included in the plans for demolition or renovation of the territory.
Experts recommend that citizens, especially before purchasing an apartment in a newly built apartment building or investing in its construction, check the information about the object through the official database.
