FAQ
Q.Can I discuss a purchase while living overseas?
Yes, we offer online consultations for clients living overseas. Required documents and the procedures that can be handled remotely are confirmed for each situation.
Q.Can foreign nationals buy property in Japan?
Yes. Foreign nationals and people living overseas can buy property in Japan. The documents and procedures required depend on where you live and the property you choose, so we guide you through the requirements for your situation.
Q.What costs should I budget for beyond the purchase price?
Additional costs include brokerage fees, registration costs, taxes, and insurance. Condominium owners generally also pay monthly management fees and contributions to a repair reserve fund. Consider both the initial costs and ongoing expenses alongside the purchase price.
Q.What is the difference between owning the land and holding a land leasehold?
With an ownership property, you own the building and the land, or a share of the land. With a land leasehold property, you hold the right to use leased land, and ground rent may apply. Contract terms and resale procedures also differ, so compare more than just the price.
Q.Can I move into a resale home in Japan straight after buying it?
It depends on the property. Even homes advertised as renovated vary in the work completed and the condition of their fixtures and equipment. Before buying, check the building's condition, repair history, and which fixtures and equipment are included at handover.
Q.Does buying property give me the right to live in Japan?
Buying property does not itself grant a visa or residence status in Japan. If you plan to live here after your purchase, you will also need to check the immigration requirements that apply to you.
