English-Speaking Property Management in Ishikawa

Property management in Ishikawa — FAQ

My family's Noto house was damaged in the 2024 earthquake. Can you help me decide whether to repair or demolish it?

After the January 2024 earthquake, municipalities in the area set up support schemes, including publicly funded demolition of damaged homes, with their own conditions and deadlines. We can inspect and photograph the house, gather contractor quotes, and help you understand the municipal notices; for ownership and inheritance questions, a judicial scrivener can advise.

Should I replace the heavy tiled roof on an old house before I invest in it?

Heavy kawara roofs on older timber frames were a factor in earthquake damage on Noto. Before major spending, it is worth getting a seismic assessment from an architect, and many municipalities subsidise these checks; we can arrange the visit and walk you through the findings.

Could my house in the Kaga onsen area be let to long-term tenants?

Towns such as Yamanaka and Yamashiro have quieter rental markets than Kanazawa, so it helps to be realistic about rent and repairs. We assess the house, quote the work needed to let it, and can handle tenant placement and upkeep if the numbers make sense.

How much does property management in Ishikawa cost?

Plans run from ¥14,000 to ¥42,000 per month depending on how often we visit — quarterly, every other month, or monthly. The right cadence depends on your Ishikawa property's type, age, and condition. Rental management is 5% of rent, and renovation is quoted separately.
