Why You Should Buy An Apartment In Tokyo

There are several reasons to choose a property in this city:

• Stable real estate market and high liquidity: apartments in convenient areas quickly find tenants.
• Excellent transport network: proximity to a subway station or JR line significantly increases the value of the property.
• A variety of neighborhoods: from business centers (Minata, Chieda) to comfortable residential areas for families (Setagaya, Meguro).
• Suitable for both living and investment: studios and small 1-2-room apartments are especially in demand among students and expats.

Types: new buildings (shin-chiku), used apartments (chuko), apartments in condominiums (mansion) — each option has its advantages in terms of price, cost of maintenance and repair time.

What To Pay Attention To

• Additional expenses: agency fee, registration and tax payments, annual property tax, maintenance fee and repair fund (for condominiums).
• Foreigners are free to buy property in Japan; however, obtaining a mortgage may require resident status or a guarantor, so financing options should be clarified in advance.
• Building condition and capital repair plan: Financial discipline and facade/foundation repair plans are important for apartment buildings.
