Consulting
Services
Q&A Service
I provide written answers to common questions that arise when purchasing real estate in Japan. Document preparation is available at a rate of $50 per hour. This is our most popular service.
Property Research
I conduct research based on specific criteria or for particular properties. Additionally, I directly contact real estate agencies handling the properties to assist in obtaining property documents and provide translations into various languages.
Property Tour Assistance and Interpretation
Once you have identified a specific property, we assist with inquiries to the real estate agent, support the deposit payment process, and accompany you from Australia as an interpreter for the property inspection. Additionally, we can help arrange accommodation and other necessary arrangements. Enjoy a stress-free property viewing trip with our support.
Contract Review Service
on 100% buyer’s side
Real estate sales contracts in Japan are highly complex, and even native Japanese speakers often struggle to fully understand them. As a certified Real Estate Transaction Specialist, I will carefully review the contract to ensure every detail is clear. I am not a seller—I am 100% on the buyer’s side. My goal is to help you avoid unfavourable contract terms and support you throughout the process.
Hazard Map and Stigmatised Property Investigation Service
We provide a service that researches and compiles reports based on hazard maps issued by local municipalities. Additionally, we conduct investigations to help ensure that you avoid purchasing properties with a history of incidents such as suicides or homicides.
Home Maintenance Support
Maintenance requirements vary between urban areas and snowy regions. In snowy regions, even a small mistake can lead to burst pipes, making the property uninhabitable.
We assist in ensuring reliable maintenance using the most efficient and cost-effective methods.
Airbnb Maintenance Support
In Japan, short-term rentals (Minpaku) are regulated by law. The standard limit for rental operations is 180 days per year, but in certain government-designated areas, special zone Minpaku regulations allow for more flexible rental terms.
We not only research and support your property purchase before you buy, but we also offer comprehensive consultation on cleaning, management, and operations after your purchase. Feel free to reach out for full support.
Real Estate Registration Support (Title registration)
I introduce trusted lawyers who specialise in real estate and corporate registration. Additionally, I act as an intermediary between you and the lawyer, ensuring that all your questions are answered while assisting you throughout the registration process.
New Home Construction Support
If you want to purchase vacant land and build a new home in Japan, I provide support by acting as an intermediary between you and Japanese construction companies or builders who do not speak English.
Renovation Support
If you want to purchase a second-hand property in Japan and renovate it but face language barriers or struggle to find a renovation style that matches your vision, I provide support from researching renovation offices to arranging meetings and assisting with discussions.
Land Purchase Support
I provide support for purchasing land in Japan. Japanese land is categorized by zoning regulations, such as designated land use zones, urbanization areas, and urbanization control areas, some of which may have restrictions on construction. I conduct thorough research in advance to ensure the land meets your specific needs.
