hell no, the 2nd property they could get in later in the vid, is by far the best one. Renovate those empty tatami rooms and you got a beautiful western style family house, with a good enough size garden that could also be renovated for a nice american style bbq garden.

I don't want to throw cold water on your dream of buying property in Japan, however, please be aware that many rural cities in Japan are suffering from decreasing population so that there are risks you won’t be able to resale it and will be liable for property taxes forever. There are reasons why we Japanese don’t jump into buying these good looking cheap houses so please do some your own research if you really consider buying one. And please remember that school bus services are not always provided and if children walk to school, more than 15 mins is considered unrealistic for elementary school kids. Good Luck😊

It could be true, however I hear many people paying property tax for the old house which they have inherited from parents and can’t find a buyer at all, thus it’s marked value could be zero and it has been depreciated for a quite long period but still is taxable. So I believe it is better to do your own research before buying just in case: the applicable local tax office would give you some information, I guess. For repopulating perspective, surely local people would be happy :)

Well I would say grab the cheap one, and the cheap one is also a great house, peaceful and lot of options. And just dump some cash on the renovations, will be equivalent to the other two or better.

National guidelines state that the obligation to notify of suicides is generally three years, but legally there is no deadline. Buyers have the right to know accurate information about the property, so even if three years have passed, you may need to answer questions when asked. There is no obligation to notify of natural deaths such as death from old age or illness.

RE the second one, Japanese fudosan repping properties would do well to start videoing bukken 物件 so people can see it w/out visiting on in cases like Golden Week. Photos are good too, but video captures more. That third one is quite nice, but personally I couldn't live that far in the sticks if I had to work in Tokyo. I wanna move to Izu, but not have to commute to Tokyo for work. The ceiling of the 2nd one is awesome. A little bit overkill w/ wood, which I like, but probably too much.

From a Kagoshima point of view since i dont know Saitama rural land prices. Seeing as you can build a new home on 60 tsubo in a rural area for just over ¥30 million yen (using a mid-range builder and depending on the land costs) I dont think #1 or #2 are worth it. They have too much land which is why they are on the pricier side I think. Just buy a new house if you are ok to spend ¥40 million. #3... even with the related issues is the best bet... at the ¥4 million Shu suggested. 200 tsubo of land is more than enough. The house looks smaller than 40 tsubo but its hard to tell without being there. Bathroom needs a reno for sure. Kitchen if he wants. otherwise it looks solid. But it will be tough to resell...
