Cambodia restricts Leng Navatra property transactions amid stalled 6A project dispute
Let’s explore this page together
Borey Leng Navatra 6A is in Kandal province, north of Phnom Penh along National Road 6A. The dispute involves purchasers who paid for homes or land while parts of the development remained unfinished and some contractual obligations were still unresolved.
The 26 August letter targeted property linked to the group
CamboJA reported on 9 September that a Ministry of Land Management letter dated 26 August set out a wider intervention in Borey Leng Navatra 6A and the Chrey 100 project. The ministry said it would lead efforts to complete the developments and examine real estate linked to Galaxy Navatra Group, Leng Phetra, widely known as Leng Navatra, and certain associated parties.
The ministry later stated that transactions involving this property had been suspended so the assets could remain available for resolving the stalled developments and transferring ownership to customers. The restriction is an administrative step in the settlement process; it does not by itself establish criminal liability or decide the contractual claim of any individual buyer.
The ministry has also tied the current process to an agreement reached on 28 January 2026. According to its 9 September statement, Leng Navatra authorised the ministry to coordinate housing construction and land works in the two projects and agreed that some property could be sold to fund the resolution.
For practical context, see Cambodia law and taxes. This development also connects with Cambodia hands over 1,312 certificates across eight projects.
The ministry reported 598 homes handed over by 9 September
In its 9 September update, the ministry said it had coordinated the completion and handover of 598 homes. It also reported that 5,970 ownership certificates had been issued to customers who had paid in full. Those figures show progress under the government-led mechanism, but they do not mean every buyer's case has been resolved.
A Cambodianess report published on 16 September found that some purchasers were still waiting for homes, land or refunds. The intervention has therefore changed who is coordinating the resolution, while leaving individual outcomes dependent on the status of each purchase and property.
Buyers still need to distinguish project-wide measures from their own claim
Restricting property transactions can help keep assets within the settlement process, but it does not automatically create a full refund entitlement, a common payout timetable or one remedy for every contract. A buyer with a completed and registered property is in a different position from someone whose home remains unfinished or whose title has not been issued.
For an individual purchaser, the useful questions are specific: whether the property has been completed, whether the purchase price was fully paid, whether ownership has been registered, and what the contract says about delivery or remedies. Those details matter more to the likely path of a particular claim than the existence of the asset restriction alone.
