How to Buy

Even if you live overseas, buying real estate in Japan is by no means difficult. There are no nationality or residency restrictions on acquiring freehold ownership, and many overseas customers have purchased property with us. Below, we introduce the flow from your first enquiry through to the handover of the property.
