Real Estate Transactions
About real estate transactions involving foreign nationals
As Japan becomes more global, each year more foreign nationals are becoming long-term residents in Japan. Several international investors have also identified Japanese real estate as an opportunity.
While there is rising interest in Japanese real estate, buying and selling real estate for foreign nationals in Japan is widely considered to be complicated. However, in reality it is not considerably different from the process for Japanese citizens.
The important difference is that when preparing the documents required for registration, various documents are required, sometimes including certain official documents issued by foreign governments, and everything must be carefully prepared in a format that will satisfy the relevant legal affairs bureau.
