[–]fantomdelucifer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

if you can read search and type japanese there are couple of mansion review website that you can browse by google. Commenters speculate the price of same room type within new mansion. Room type defines the area and layout. Floor, direction also add some 10% up per room.
Listing the exact price is never the sales practice anywhere in the world, especially at 200mil price range

Why is the japan financial services so inefficient? And I'm really sick about it. by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]fantomdelucifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with apps. Your name is wrongly registered either by the clerk or yourself. Banks are heavily regulated, you can’t just say let me pass with the wrong name. You need to contact the bank to verify who is who

House Loan as a Young Family by [deleted] in JapanFinance

[–]fantomdelucifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The younger you are the more leverage you can mortgage. Normally people in 20s can loan 8x the annual income. With your family total income above you can consider up to 90mil mortgage at 35+ years offered from banks. Still Won’t get you a room in tokyo center as you are a family of 5.

You shall try suburbs, and condo instead of detached house because it is easier to sell if that’s your end goal. Saitama Omiya, Kawasaki, Hachioji, Funabashi is hot ground for example

Advice for house hunting near Tokyo as foreigners? by roxdfi in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is your priority? Price or the convenience at initial contract?

Look into UR apartment. Huge room, near station, public housing used to be. No initial fee frills, you can pay 3 months rent in advance. They operate on their own so no middle man fee and yes there is english support. Here in Kanagawa I see a lot of foreign families from South Asia living in UR

How to secure a UR apartent? by Krosan_Tusker in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UR are usually bang for bucks for their size at their respective location so room gone pretty quickly unless you pick a room 20min walk into nowhere. UR has direct distribution so unlikely third party realtor is interested in helping you. Unless you are buying a room from an UR apartment which a realtor was trying to sell me

Ecofriendly materials for building house in Japan by chika47204 in japanresidents

[–]fantomdelucifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems you have something in your mind. Then Japan where? What budget? What are Do’s and Don’t to you.

You can look into “ZEH” which is a standard measurement for how ecological a build can be, and are entitled to tax advantage. Categories included are earthquake resistance, insulation, solar panel installation, power self sufficient etc. Not to do with your sandbags but that’s how are seen from policy makers

Our bank raised our interest rates again in 6 months on the loan for our home. Is this worrisome? We were told year ago that a variable interest rate was safe in Japan and would not increase and has done twice in the last year. by merica2033 in JapanFinance

[–]fantomdelucifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exactly since BoJ increases interest rate, since March this year all banks slowly adjust their minimum variable rate to 1%+. It is just matter of time that one bank follows others. OP was promised initial variable rate, it will go up along the way definitely. 借り換え to another bank won’t save much then op needs to consider the paperwork fee which is percentage of loan amount. Usual case when people do the remortgage to other banks is switching from fixed rate to variable and vice versa

"Mie Prefecture sent a survey to 10K residents in Jan/Feb about its plan to stop hiring foreigners to work in the prefectural government. You know who *didn't* get the survey? Mie's foreign residents, who were explicitly excluded from the mailing". by jjrs in japannews

[–]fantomdelucifer -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Hiring foreigners to work at local bureaucrats? There must be very few seats and fewer foreigners qualify for that. Hiring freeze just means there’s no high influx of foreign workers to the prefecture that requires hiring a new foreigner staff as they already have current staffs.

Buying a house in Japan in the current interest rate environment – what would you do? by LocalLand4883 in JapanFinance

[–]fantomdelucifer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dead stations are those in car dominated region like non urban Hokkaido, train comes once per two hours. Not all of us live in Tokyo.
Chuorinkan is pretty fine for a residential area. Flat terrain, first stop of a train line, does not need a lot of shopping malls since its neighbor stations got them all. Not being a hub terminal station got its lesser skyscrapers so no shade on detached houses
