For Overseas Clients

Japanese real estate,
made legible from far away.

When buying property in Japan from overseas, what worries most clients is not only choosing the building. Contracts, remittance, financing, tax, management, repairs, sale — it is the difficulty of seeing what procedures and decisions come after the purchase that weighs the most.

TAISEI supports you from the study that precedes acquisition, through management while you hold the asset, to an eventual sale, all through a single point of contact. Showing you the order of the procedures and the full picture of the costs first, so that you have what you need in order to decide, is what we regard as the first part of the job.

What ownership asks of you after the purchase

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

Taken to a different party one at a time, these stop connecting to each other. TAISEI acts as the contact that keeps the whole in view, and works with qualified specialists where a qualification is required.

FLOW

Four Steps of Support

  1. STEP 01

    Clarify

    We confirm your purpose, budget, currency, holding period and intended use. To live in, to let, or to pass on to your children one day — until that is settled, no property can be chosen.

    What you gainA clear basis for deciding what to buy.

  2. STEP 02

    Acquire

    We support market research, property selection, inspection visits, negotiation, contract and settlement. Required documents, taxes and other costs, and the remittance schedule are set out step by step.

    What you gainYou buy understanding the procedures and the costs.

  3. STEP 03

    Hold

    We continue with tenant sourcing, rent administration, enquiries, repairs and reporting. So that the situation stays visible from abroad, we report to you regularly.

    What you gainYou know how the asset stands, even from abroad.

  4. STEP 04

    Sell

    We consider the exit in light of the market, tax and how long you have held. What you would net from a sale, and the outlook if you hold on, are set out side by side.

    What you gainYou can compare selling with holding on.

PARTNERS

Working with Specialists

Tax, law, residence status and registration require a professional qualification, and we do not undertake them ourselves. Depending on what you need, we work with tax accountants, lawyers, administrative scriveners and judicial scriveners — with TAISEI remaining your point of contact.

  • Tax accountant

    Tax while you hold and when you sell, and tax filing.

  • Lawyer

    Legal matters such as contracts and questions of title.

  • Administrative scrivener

    Residence status and other administrative procedures.

  • Judicial scrivener

    Registration procedures, including transfer of ownership.

About the languages we work in

Enquiries are handled mainly in Japanese and Chinese. English and Korean are arranged individually according to the subject and who is available, so please get in touch first.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy property in Japan while living overseas?
It depends on the property and your funding plan, but we do handle purchase enquiries from clients living overseas. We set out the procedures you will need — contract, remittance, registration, tax, management — and support you together with qualified specialists.
Can I consult you in Chinese?
Yes. You can consult us in Japanese or Chinese. Other languages are arranged individually, according to the subject and who is available.

Can you advise on financing?
We help you prepare your funding plan and your approach to a financial institution. Whether financing is granted, and on what terms, is decided by that institution's assessment.
Do you also advise on tax and residence status?
Work that requires a qualification — tax, law, registration, residence status — is carried out together with tax accountants, lawyers, judicial scriveners and administrative scriveners.
Can I ask about only selling, or only management?
Yes. We ask about your present situation and what you would like, and then propose only the services you actually need.
