Real estate you want to buy, Is it for investment? Is it for residence? Since how to search for real estate companies and how to search for properties will change depending on the purpose of purchase, you need to clarify whether to purchase in advance for residential or residential use.

registration

In general, all real estate in Japan is free trading principle in principle. Foreigners can buy and sell anywhere in Japan except part (Tabata). You can buy anything from a small property to a large hotel. In this case, you can buy it either individually or in company name. Of course it is possible to register with 2 people, 3 people, not just 1 person. When selling, it is the same as this and you can sell it to anyone anytime. Judicial scrivener performs on procedures. Also, if there is a notarial certificate, there is no need for visiting Japan.

M&Aregistration

As a method of buying real estate in Japan it is easy to buy the property itself, but by buying a company in Japan that owns one apartment, hotel, inn and other company saying company M & A, the company You will have also bought all the real estate you own. In general it is also a trading transaction that is often used in the United States and Europe by saying this is company M & A. By buying 100% of the shares of the company that owns the real estate rather than buying the real estate property, the principal who bought it becomes the representative, and as a result it is possible to acquire real estate owned by the company. Although this method has merit enough, there are also worries of disadvantage, so there are not many cases, but recent transactions have been done in Japan recently. We recommend that you run it after consulting with our company or a lawyer for details.

    (2)Identity card such as passport

    You must submit a passport or other identification card.

    When registering real estate, the address of your country of residence will be registered, so if you do not have an address on your passport, prepare a document such as a living card.

    (3)seal

    Since you need to stamp the documents such as sales contracts, let's prepare a seal.

    There are few countries that use stamps in foreign countries and there are many people who do not understand what stamps to prepare, so it would be better to have a seal stamped in Japan if possible.

    Real estate purchase flow

    There are cases that change depending on nationality, but when you purchase real estate in Japan, it will be largely as follows.

    • (1)I visit Japan and preview the property
    • (2)(In case of purchase decision) Submit a tender certificate
    • (3)Conclude sales contract
    • (4)Prepare purchasing funds such as overseas remittance
    • (5)Make payment / registration

    Payment method of trading value

    As foreigners have no account in Japan, most people use overseas remittance when paying trading value.

    In order to proceed smoothly at the time of settlement, it is necessary to get money remitted in advance, so it is often the case that you will be guided to the deposit account of the real estate company as the remittance destination. Therefore, it can be said that choosing a reliable real estate company is important.

    In addition, when overseas remittance, in order to confirm the basis of the amount of payment and whether or not you have properly worn, let 's make sure that the following documents are received from the real estate company.

    ■ Before overseas remittance
    • ・Request for remittance stamped by company
    ■ After overseas remittance
    • ・(From the remittee's bank) Foreign Exchange Statement

    Receipt of Real Estate Right Statement

    Real estate rights document will be completed around 1 week after settlement of real estate. Let's decide in advance whether you will mail it to your country of residence or you will be managed by a management company.

    Tax administrator's setting

    When you buy real estate in Japan, you will first follow the procedure with name change. At this time you will need stamp duties and substitution fees payable to justice scrivener. The estimated amount of money is roughly 3 to 5% of the purchase price. In a small one-room apartment it may cost 100,000 yen, and in the case of a large one apartment it may cost several million yen.

    And after 3 ~ 4 months after buying it will be paid by the new owner (owner) notified of real estate acquisition tax. As taxes after this, we choose to pay fixed amount property tax every year by either installment payment in 4 times a year or 1 time payment.

    There are many types of taxes in Japan mainly as taxes of Japan, but if one owns an apartment, a luxury condominium or any other one, depending on the total amount of the rent, taxes such as income tax and city planning tax It will come over.

    If the total rent received every year reaches more than 1 million yen, these income will also be subject to tax, so it is important to discuss well with the company that requests management.

    After purchasing real estate, tax payment forms such as real estate acquisition tax and property tax will be sent by post from the tax office, so we will pay the tax accordingly.

    For foreigners, because you are not in Japan, you need to set up a "tax administrator" that will do the tax payment procedure instead.
    If there are no friends who will process in Japan, it would be nice to consult a real estate management company that will manage real estate.

    We will manage and act on all of them.

    Tax return

    If you purchase real estate as an investment in Japan, you need to file a tax return as rent income as real estate income. We can also ask tax accountants even for foreigners, so we will introduce tax accountants in our company as well.

    management

    Many laws concerning real estate in Japan are made, and management after buying is also finely decided various laws and rules, etc. respectively. There are a lot of companies that registered property holders are foreigners and manage real estate in Japan.

    When a foreigner purchases an apartment or a building, when asking management to these management companies, this management company acts as an agency / substitute, paying for cleaning, repair, payment of administrative expenses, payment of tax etc. for a fee (1 year 5 - 10% of the rent for the minute).

    Even after buying at the owner change, even if the tenant moves into the vacant room, arrange cleaning and renovation immediately, create from the recruitment of new residents to the rental agreement, substitute everything for them It will be.

    For this reason, the owner of a foreigner will do whatever the management company will do on behalf of not going to Japan without doing anything.

    rent

    The rent for the apartment will differ depending on various factors such as the area size and location, the closeness from the station, whether the apartment itself is new or high class. In general Ginza, Akasaka, Roppongi, Shinjuku etc. rent increases.

    Regions are cheaper than Tokyo, but I think that Osaka etc. are cheaper by 10 to 20% compared to Tokyo. In general, it is common for a one-room apartment to be regarded as income (rent) of one year for about 6 to 10% of the purchase price. On the other hand, the properties of the family type 2DK, 3LDK, etc, which have a large area, the interest rate of the rent is a little lower than the one room.

    Apart from this, newly built condominiums and newly built apartments will also have lower yields. Not only apartments will generate rent, but also rental shops, rental offices, parking lots and so on are eligible.

    The amount of money when buying one apartment or one building is large, but the rent will also enter as much as it is. In the case of Tokyo in February 2015, the yield of a one-room is usually 5 to 8%. With the effects of avenomics and the Olympic Games, if the price of real estate rises more, this yield may be a little lower.

    Although anyone can manage condominium management, I think that it is better to buy it after fully investigating the firm value of the real estate you buy. If you consult our company from the point of searching for properties, we will cooperate so that you can deliver good products as your property.
