During COVID-19 lockdown it made sense to buy a house and renovate it. Works in Japan where used houses can bought be only 10% of UK prices. Especially at the current exchange rate. When you buy an inexpensive house, there is frequently a lot of abandoned household items. Keep in mind in Japan the agent charges both the buyer and seller. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

Hi, great content! I also live in a house from the early 1900s so it's hard to believe, a 35-year-old house is considered "old" and has no value in Japan :) I think we value the "history ' and "soul' of the house more, so the older the better :D Would love to see how you approach earthquake safety while renovating, did you do it yourself or is the local government also involved in the process to ensure safety also for neighbors?

It's a hot humid climate and unused houses will mold and become ruined in a short time. Post-war through the 80s the emphasis was on quick and cheap so the buildings really were disposable and there's not much I see of value in them either. That said old carpenter-built houses are a different story and maybe someday I'll renovate one of my own!

From this month the English version of the Anton channel started and I am at a loss as to how to comment with my English skills. However, the English version of the talk is very interesting and the topics are completely different from the Japanese one such as the Swedish Embassy, Japanese food, and how to buy an empty house in Japan were interesting and surprised. Please post the Japanese version of the same video also. The Anton channel is promoting Japan for free. tack så mycket.

So Ive been seeing so many videos abt buying abandoned house in Japan lately. I want to advice to whomever is considering this that if you won’t live there forever, dont buy it. Its a waste of money unless you live in it till you die. Houses in Japan depreciate just like phones and cars so once you want to sell your renovated house, it has nearly no value on the market. This is not from me but from my friend who is a Japanese realtor. (He also told me how there are so much taxed you have to pay by owning the no-value house but I cant remember correctly)
