English-Speaking Property Management in Osaka

Property management in Osaka — FAQ

My nagaya shares a wall with the neighbours. Can I repair or renovate my unit on its own?

Usually yes, but the shared wall, roof and foundation tie your unit to the ones next door, so cutting or rebuilding can affect them. We photograph the condition first, talk to the neighbours before any work starts, and get quotes from carpenters used to terraced timber houses. Nothing goes ahead until you approve the quote.

Is my Osaka home at risk from storm surge and flooding?

Parts of Osaka near the bay and the river mouths are low-lying, and Typhoon Jebi in 2018 showed how hard high tides and wind can hit the coast. We check your address against the city's hazard maps, clear drains and secure balconies before typhoon season, and send photos after any major storm.

I inherited my parents' condominium in the suburbs. What should I watch for while it sits empty?

Management fees and repair-reserve charges keep coming whether or not anyone lives there, and the building association sends notices about inspections and major repairs. We collect and translate that mail, run the water so drain traps stay sealed, and help you weigh renting, selling or keeping the unit.

How much does property management in Osaka 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 Osaka property's type, age, and condition. Rental management is 5% of rent, and renovation is quoted separately.
