購入サポートBuying Support
Know the house before you buy it.
Photos online never show the damp under the floor or the sag in the roof. We go and look, check the hazards and the paperwork, and tell you in plain English what the house will really need — before you commit.
特長What you get
Why owners choose us for buying support.
A proper look inside
Roof, foundations, timber, damp, termites, plumbing and electrics — inspected and photographed room by room.
Hazards and the area
Flood, landslide and tsunami maps, road access, snow, and what the neighbourhood is like to live in or let.
What it'll really cost
A rough repair estimate from local trades, so the price you pay includes the work it needs.

Buying support — questions
- Can you inspect a house I found on an akiya bank?
- Yes. Akiya-bank listings often have few photos and little detail. We visit, inspect and send you a full photo report with what needs doing, so you can decide with real information.
- Do you act as my real-estate agent?
- No — we work for you, not the seller, and we don't take a commission on the sale. For the contract and registration, licensed agents (宅建士) and judicial scriveners do that part; we explain everything in English and coordinate them.
- What should I check before buying an old house in Japan?
- The roof and foundations, termite and damp damage, the water and septic system, road access for trades, and the local hazard maps (https://disaportal.gsi.go.jp/). Older homes can also have rebuild limits if the plot doesn't meet the road-frontage rules — worth checking before you fall in love with one.
