Kuwait Ministry of Justice lists 30 property auctions from 26 October to 18 November 2026, among them three properties in Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City and a house in Al Khiran
The announcements page of the Ministry of Justice, which we opened on 23 October 2026, carries 32 notices of property sales by public auction issued by the Clerks Department of the Court of First Instance between 29 September and 22 October. Two sessions, for properties in Qurtuba and Fahad Al Ahmad, were held on 21 October; the other 30 run from Monday 26 October to Wednesday 18 November, all at 9:00 am in Hall 5 on the eighth floor of the new Palace of Justice. Eleven of the 30 are in Ahmadi Governorate, including three in Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City, one in Al Khiran Residential and one in Sabah Al Ahmad City (our grouping). The notices give the opening prices: a 674 square metre empty plot in Sea City sector A1 starts at KD 182,250, a half share of a 505 square metre house in sector A4 at KD 174,150, a 1,126 square metre empty plot in sector A2 at KD 270,000, and a half share of a 400 square metre house shell in Al Khiran at KD 53,145.

What the Ministry's page shows
The Ministry of Justice publishes every court-ordered property sale on its announcements page, with the area in the title and, inside each notice, the session date, the deed number, the plot and parcel numbers and a scanned copy of the full advertisement with the property description, the expert's report, the opening price and the auction conditions. When we opened the page on 23 October 2026 it carried 32 property notices numbered 3575 to 3621, issued by the Clerks Department of the Court of First Instance between 29 September and 22 October, plus two procurement tenders. Two sessions had already been held on 21 October, for a property in Qurtuba and one in Fahad Al Ahmad. The remaining 30 are spread over ten session days: three on 26 October, three on 2 November, two on 3 November, three on 4 November, two on 5 November, one on 10 November, nine on 11 November, one on 12 November, two on 17 November and four on 18 November. One notice, No. 3600 for Abu Fatira on 5 November, covers 24 parcels under a single deed, so the number of properties is higher than the number of notices.
Where the 30 notices are
Grouped by governorate (our grouping from the area named in each notice), 11 of the 30 are in Ahmadi: three in Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City, three in Sabahiya, and one each in Al Khiran Residential, Sabah Al Ahmad City, East Ahmadi, Aqila and Jaber Al Ali. Six are in Mubarak Al Kabeer: two in Abu Fatira, two in Adan, one in Abu Al Hasaniya and one in Sabah Al Salem. Six are in the Capital: Shuhada, Yarmouk, Qadsiya, Shamiya, Doha and Granada. Hawalli has two, in Hittin and Rumaithiya; Farwaniya has two, both in Ardiya; Jahra has two, in Saad Al Abdullah and Al Oyoun. One notice, for the session of 11 November, names no area in its title. The most recent notices, published on 22 October, are for Hittin, Yarmouk and Shuhada.
The three Sea City lots and the Al Khiran house
Notice 3597, for the session of Wednesday 4 November, offers the whole of deed 2013/9307 in Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City, parcel 1154 in sector A1 on plan M/37500, an empty plot of 674 square metres, at an opening price of KD 182,250. The expert's report describes it as an inner plot that does not face the sea directly, on two streets, front and back, with a main frontage of 17.7 metres. Notice 3588, for Tuesday 3 November, offers a 50% undivided share of deed 2014/6947, parcel 1506 in sector A4 on the same plan M/37500, a private house of 505 square metres that the court expert describes as a new-build villa of three floors and a roof, clad in beige stone, on one street with the sea channel on its eastern side, with an unlicensed gypsum-board partition noted on the first floor, at an opening price of KD 174,150 for the share. Notice 3605, for Wednesday 18 November, offers the whole of deed 2015/5957, parcel 961 in sector A2 on plan M/37500, an empty plot of 1,126 square metres, at an opening price of KD 270,000, about KD 240 per square metre (our calculation). The expert's report describes it as an empty plot on a main street and a side street that leads to the entrance of the property behind it, with a 30 metre main frontage and a 60 metre side frontage and a shared yard with an electricity transformer at the rear. In Al Khiran Residential, notice 3581 for Monday 26 October offers a 50% undivided share of deed 2022/293, plot 7, parcel 292 on plan M/35404, a 400 square metre property described as a private house of basement, ground and first floors still at the structural shell stage, at an opening price of KD 53,145 for the share, which implies about KD 106,000 for the whole property (our calculation).
How a session works, as the notices state it
The auction conditions printed on each advertisement are the same. Bidding starts at the opening price shown beside the property, and to take part a bidder must first pay at least one fifth of that price by a cheque certified by the drawee bank or by a bank guarantee in favour of the Execution Department at the Ministry of Justice. The bidder whose offer the judge accepts must deposit the full price, costs and registration fees at the sale session; if not, at least one fifth must be deposited, otherwise the lot is re-auctioned in the same session at the bidder's risk. If the price is deposited at the following session the sale is confirmed, unless someone comes forward at that session offering at least one tenth more and deposits the full amount, in which case bidding reopens on that basis. In every case the winning bidder bears the transfer and registration fees, execution costs of KD 200, lawyers' and experts' fees and the cost of advertising the sale in the daily newspapers, and is taken to have inspected the property. The advertisement is published in the Official Gazette under Article 266 of the Civil and Commercial Procedure Law.
What Al Mithaq adds
We read the Ministry's auction list every week, and when a lot in Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City or Al Khiran deserves attention we say so before the session. If you want to compare an auction plot with what is on the open market, our Sea City page explains the five phases and the usual plot sizes, and our team in Kuwait can send you the recent recorded prices for the same sector so you know what the opening price means. Tell us the sector, the size and the budget you have in mind, and whether the land is to build on or to hold, and we will call or WhatsApp you back on the same working day with the plots available now.
