1. How to buy a house in Japan?
For China people who go to Japan to buy a house for the first time, it is the most basic preparation to know the purchase process, transaction cost, house price and other information in Japan. After understanding these basic information, the subsequent purchase work becomes easy. The first is the basis of buying a house. How to choose a house that suits you requires you to have a full understanding of the area where you want to buy a house. Tokyo, Chiyoda and Port Area, as three regions with valuable land prices in Tokyo, are far ahead of other regions. Edogawa District, Gecheng District and Zuli District, as the three major areas of land price, have always been favored by future buyers. Real estate survey: We all know this. No matter how beautiful the pictures on the internet are, it is better to go on a field trip by yourself. Make an appointment with an intermediary and you can go to the scene to see the house. For a house, orientation, sunshine, environment, lighting and noise are all issues that need to be considered. Don't book a house without a field trip. Consulting Planning: Many China buyers will have the habit of one room and two halls. Just like buying a plane ticket, after choosing a house, we entrust it to two agents for low price. Indeed, so is the house. When you break off diplomatic relations among many intermediaries, there will naturally be competition between intermediaries to reach your ideal price. But at the same time, there will be bad competition between intermediaries. At that time, although you will be given tens of thousands of dollars in the house, you will never know how to make your money in other places. In Japan, you get what you pay. Maybe you will get a small sum for the time being, but there may be more deficits waiting for you to fill in the future.

2. Japan's procurement process
First, determine the purpose of buying a house and make a good budget.
First of all, everyone must first determine the purpose of buying a house. The purpose of buying a house is nothing more than to live or invest. Investment types are generally divided into long-term investment (such as monthly rental of apartments) and homestay short rent. Determine the budget according to the demand after determining the purpose. When buying a house in Japan, the final payment is equal to the price of the house itself+agency fee, home insurance, transfer fees, stamp duty, property purchase tax, property holding tax and other expenses incurred when buying a house.
Second, prepare relevant application materials for viewing and selecting houses.
The importance of homestead to real estate must not be explained too much, which is the same all over the world. Superior geographical location, fast and convenient transportation and perfect surrounding facilities also increase the added value of real estate. When buying a house in Japan, we should also consider the degree of depreciation and the construction period of the house.
After choosing your favorite property according to your needs, you should prepare relevant information, and the information required for different needs is slightly different. What is needed is ID card, notarial certificate, passport and other materials. Notarization includes basic information such as the name, address and seal of the purchaser. The buyer must mail the notarial certificate together with the lawyer's power of attorney, entrusted management book and other related materials to the developer or intermediary before the transfer.
Third, submit a house purchase application.
After the house is selected, you need to submit an application for house purchase and submit it to the developer or seller through an intermediary. At that time, both parties can negotiate the transaction details such as price and transfer time.
Fourth, sign a contract to buy a house.
Signing a contract is generally about one to two weeks after submitting the application for house purchase. Before signing a formal house purchase contract, professionals in the Japanese real estate market will explain relevant important matters, and buyers and sellers can sign the contract only after confirming the terms. Within seven days after the signing of the contract, 10% deposit shall be paid to the seller's account, and the balance shall be paid before the transfer.

After the seller confirms the receipt of the final payment, it shall go through the formalities of property right delivery. According to different situations, the time from determining the price to completing the delivery of property rights is also different. At that time, documents such as identity certificate and address notarial certificate need to be provided, and the transfer of property rights will generally be completed within 3 weeks to 2 months after signing the contract. In the process of real estate delivery, judicial scribes (similar to domestic lawyers) will follow up the whole process, and help buyers and sellers to confirm the validity of real estate delivery materials such as contracts and complete real estate transactions. The information of property rights change will be recorded in the system of the Legal Affairs Bureau of the Japanese government. The title certificate will generally be produced by the relevant departments of the Japanese government within 2-3 weeks, and will be entrusted by the developer or intermediary agency to mail it to the buyers.
