• Found your dream Japanese house? Tell us about yourself through a quick form – we'll use your information to connect you with our partner.

• Once we receive your form, we'll schedule a Zoom meeting to discuss your goals and the buying process in detail.

Important Note: ​Until now, non-residents of Japan have been limited to purchasing real estate solely with their personal funds only, lacking access to alternative financing options. However, we have had a tie-up with one specific bank that just released a new loan product that is feasible for non-residents to obtain a home or investment loan in Japan! The product offers up to 50% financing, with a minimum loan amount of 20 million yen.

Do you have any questions?

Do you offer support in English throughout the buying process?

• Yes, we offer comprehensive support in English throughout the buying process. My partner specializes in assisting foreigners with purchasing properties in Japan, and their team includes native English speakers who are experts in Japanese real estate. They are well-versed in guiding foreign buyers, whether you are purchasing a home remotely or in person, ensuring that you receive clear communication and expert assistance every step of the way.

Would would you help me buying any houses in Japan I want ?

• Yes ! In most instances, we are able to broker the deal on behalf of the buyer, provided that the selling agent permits them to do so. However, if the selling agent does not grant them this permission, we can still offer valuable support to the buyer in a consultancy capacity. In this role, we will guide you through the buying process, offering expert insights and assistance, though we will not serve as a direct broker but rather as an intermediate.

How long does the process of buying a property typically take?

• The process of buying a property in Japan typically takes about 3 to 6 months, though this can vary based on several factors. The timeline generally starts with an initial consultation and property search, which may take 1 to 2 months. During this time, you will discuss your preferences and budget with us, followed by searching for suitable properties. Once identified, property viewings are arranged. After deciding on a property, making an offer and negotiating terms usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks. Upon acceptance, you’ll sign a contract, typically requiring a 5% down payment. The due diligence phase, which includes inspections and legal checks, can take about a month, especially if financing is involved. Finally, the closing process, where the legal transfer of ownership occurs, may take an additional 2 to 4 weeks.

What is the cost of this service?

• Please note that  besides the cost of the Newsletter, the fee for our buying assistance service is a standard 3% of the property purchase price. This fee is only paid on the final settlement date when the buyer takes possession of the property.  We do not receive any other fees :)

Do you provide Post-Purchase Services?

• Yes, we offer both renovation and property management services. However, please be aware that these services are location-dependent. Their offices are situated in Tokyo and Osaka, enabling them to provide property management services in areas surrounding these prefectures, typically within a 1 to 1.5-hour commute from the city center.

Do I need to prepare any documents ?

• The requirements vary on a case-by-case basis; however, the most commonly needed document for individual buyers is a notarized Statutory Declaration. This document serves as a formal statement affirming your true identity, residence, and signature.
