GLOBAL SUPPORT

For Overseas Clients

Japanese real estate,
an asset you can entrust with peace of mind, however far away you are.

When buying property in Japan from overseas, choosing the property is not the only thing that causes concern.

Contracts, remittance, financing, tax, management, repairs, and eventually a sale.
Even after the purchase, a range of procedures and decisions will be needed.

TAISEI provides continuous support through a single point of contact, from the study before acquisition through the purchase, ownership and management, to an eventual sale.

We set out the flow of the necessary procedures and the full picture of the costs as clearly as we can, and we place importance on giving you the material you need to make your own decisions.

What you will need after the purchase

  • Contracts
  • Remittance
  • Financing
  • Tax
  • Management
  • Repairs
  • Sale

Consulting on each of these separately can leave information and procedures fragmented, making the whole picture hard to see.

TAISEI treats them as a single flow and supports you as the contact that keeps the whole in view.
Areas that require a professional qualification, such as tax, legal matters, registration and residence status, are handled together with specialists in each field.

FLOW

Four Steps of Support

  1. STEP 01

    Clarify

    First, we confirm your purpose, budget, currency, holding period, intended use and so on.

    Will you use the property yourself, let it out, or pass it on to your family one day?
    Choosing a property begins with making the purpose clear.

    What you gainWhat you are buying, and why.
    A clear basis for judging which property is right for you.

  2. STEP 02

    Acquire

    We support you from market research, property selection, site visits and negotiation through to the contract and settlement.

    Required documents, taxes and other costs, and the remittance process are all explained clearly, in line with the schedule.

    What you gainYou can go ahead with the purchase with confidence, knowing the procedures and costs involved.

  3. STEP 03

    Hold

    After the purchase, we continue to support the management of the property while you hold it: tenant recruitment, rent administration, enquiries, repairs, income and expense reports and more.

    So that you can keep track of your property even while living overseas, we report to you regularly as needed.

    What you gainEven from abroad, you can follow how your asset stands and make the decisions required.

  4. STEP 04

    Sell

    We also consider an eventual sale in light of market trends, the holding period, tax and other factors.

    We set out the likely outcome of a sale alongside the prospects of continuing to hold, so that you can compare the two options: to sell, or to keep.

    What you gainWith the eventual exit in view, you can move on to your next decision.
