Pricing — Support for Foreign Buyers in Japan

We don’t just help you buy a property.
We help you avoid costly mistakes.

We focus on renovation reality — not sales goals.
This is why our on-site inspection is performed by an architect and a construction professional.

We offer clear, simple pricing so you can confidently plan your purchase and renovation in Japan.
All services are designed for international clients who may need support with language, procedures, and technical assessment.

1. Online Consultation

Free (up to 30 minutes)

Ask anything about buying, viewing, or renovating property in Japan.

2. Desk Review (Documents Only)

Free

For simple cases, we provide a free desk review based on:

• floor plans
• property documents
• photos
• listing information (SUUMO / atHome / etc.)

We will give you a quick initial assessment of renovation possibilities and general concerns.
(For detailed confirmation, on-site inspection is required.)

3. On-site Renovation Feasibility Check (with Architect)

30,000 JPY (Tokyo 23 wards, Yokohama)

Architect + construction professional will visit the property.

This service includes a non-destructive on-site inspection, meaning we check everything that can be confirmed without opening walls, ceilings, or floors.

We confirm as much as possible on-site:

• visible structure & walls
• visible piping & drainage routes
• electrical capacity (as far as can be verified on-site)
• ventilation & existing equipment
• layout change feasibility
• renovation options & limitations
• rough renovation cost estimate
• potential risks & concerns
• suggested improvements

You will receive a written PDF summary after the visit.

Important:
Our on-site inspection is limited to what can be seen without demolition (non-destructive inspection).
Please understand that:

• underfloor areas
• attic spaces
• inside walls and ceilings
• hidden piping
• insulation and structural elements

cannot be fully confirmed at this stage and may only be verified after renovation work begins.

Please note:
Our standard on-site check is not a certified home inspection.
It is a visual, non-destructive renovation feasibility check.

If you need a formal, full-scale home inspection,
we can provide this service as well — for an additional fee.

This includes:

• detailed structural assessment
• moisture/termite checks
• electrical & plumbing diagnostics
• attic / underfloor investigation (if accessible)
• full inspection report

Please inquire for pricing.

• No cancellation fee applies for the first online consultation.
