1. Transaction price of the house: the transaction price agreed between the purchased house and the owner.

2. Agency fee: real estate transaction price × 3%+60,000 yen.

3. Property purchase tax (paid three months after purchase): land fixed assets appraisal ×3%+ construction fixed assets appraisal price ×4%.

4. Tax exemption for real estate registration (paid after purchase): the appraised value of fixed assets of land ×2%+ appraised value of fixed assets of buildings ×2%+ remuneration of judicial clerk (called lawyer in China) (there is a special person in Japan who is responsible for the handling fee of property right transfer registration, and the handling fee is estimated to be around 654.38+10,000-400,000 yen, depending on the situation).

5. Stamp duty (when signing the contract): the cost of purchasing printing paper attached to the house sales contract or loan contract.

Matters needing attention in buying a house in Japan:

1. To buy a house in Japan, first transfer the purchase price to external account.

For buyers in China, buying a house is not a problem, but the annual limit for each person in China is $50,000. The seller who buys a house in Japan requires the buyer to provide proof of the purchase price or bank loan, which is in English. After all, the Japanese can understand Chinese and don't follow the details.

2. Bid after seeing Japanese houses.

Japan is a place with very transparent information. After seeing the real estate, most brokers will help the guests evaluate the real estate price and estimate the present value of the real estate market transactions. If the seller asks a high price, the broker will help the buyer terminate the price. If the asking price is lower than the market price, the broker will help the buyer catch it quickly.

3. Property rights do not mean a lifetime.

As we all know, many new China buyers will have the concept of "buying a house in Japan, living for life and even passing it on from generation to generation". In fact, this is not in line with the actual situation in Japan. According to the average statistics over the years, the Japanese will change houses within seven years.

There are many reasons for changing houses, such as changing work place, going out to school, changing family size, or changing mature cities into remote and quiet places after retirement.

4. It is not difficult to rent a house in Japan.

Tokyo is booming and has a large population, so tourist cities need a large number of rental houses. Many buyers are worried about not renting a house. Actually, I'm too worried. I can't rent out without a house. In fact, whether the house can be rented out depends on whether the rent the owner wants is consistent with the rental market price. The key is whether the selling price is consistent with the market.
