A Tashkent family sold their home, paid $85,000 for a larger flat and began renovating — only to discover a prosecutor’s prohibition had been registered the day after their title transfer. A court has now voided the transaction and ordered the seller to return just 71.3 million soums, roughly $5,870, because that was the sum written in the contract. The case is the third in a documented pattern of buyers losing legally purchased homes to overseas heirs.
