A SALE DESIGNED AROUND YOUR SITUATION

Understand the value, then choose the right route.

Leaving Japan, handling an inheritance, selling a rented investment, or repaying a mortgage can each change the right selling strategy. We explain the valuation, the Japanese transaction process, and the choices that matter in clear English.

SUPPORT

Four ways we support your sale

ASIASCAPE · ITABASHI · TOKYO

01

Evidence-based valuation

We review nearby transactions, competing listings, location, and property condition, then explain how the value was considered.

02

A tailored selling strategy

We shape the asking price and schedule around your timing, price expectations, and onward plans.

03

Property-specific marketing

We use suitable channels such as property portals, our store, and introductions to existing clients.

04

Negotiation to handover

We coordinate viewings, terms, contract preparation, closing, and the final handover.

PROCESS

How the sale works

A valuation does not commit you to selling. Use it as information while you consider your options.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We discuss your reason for selling, timing, loan, and onward plans.

  2. 02

    Property review and valuation

    We inspect the property and explain the valuation and possible strategy.

  3. 03

    Listing preparation

    We agree the terms and prepare photography and marketing.

  4. 04

    Marketing and viewings

    We manage enquiries, viewings, and activity updates.

  5. 05

    Negotiation and contract

    We coordinate price and handover terms and confirm the contract details.

  6. 06

    Closing and handover

    We support final payment, registration coordination, and key handover.

03

SELLING OPTIONS

Brokerage or direct purchase?

Finding a buyer in the market and selling directly to a real-estate company involve different expectations for price, time, and privacy. We explain the options in a comparable way.

Brokerage

Suitable when you want to seek a market buyer and place greater weight on price.

Direct purchase

An option when timing or a more private sale is the stronger priority.

House leaseback

A possible route when you wish to sell and continue living in the property, subject to eligibility and agreed terms.

Onward move

We coordinate the financial and handover timing between your sale and next purchase.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the valuation complimentary?

Yes. We can discuss a desktop estimate or an on-site valuation depending on the property and your needs.

Can you explain the Japanese documents in English?

Yes. Official transaction documents may be prepared in Japanese, but we explain their purpose, key terms, timing, and the decisions required from you in English.

Can I sell while a mortgage remains on the property?

It may be possible. We first confirm the expected sale proceeds, loan balance, lender procedures, and the steps needed for repayment and release of the mortgage at closing.

Can you help with a property that is currently rented?

Yes. We review the tenancy, lease information, income, and property documents, then discuss a suitable valuation and marketing route for the tenanted property.

Can I sell more privately?

We can discuss limited marketing or a direct purchase route depending on your priorities.

Can I remain in the property while it is marketed?

Yes. We coordinate viewing times and plan the activity around your daily life.
