FAQs
A. No problem at all! Our team is fluent in 3 languages (Japanese, English, Chinese), so you can feel free to contact us.
A. Yes, it is. Mooovin offers an online service that lets you complete everything from search to contract and payment, all while living overseas. If you’re interested in a property, feel free to contact us.
A. No, anyone can own property in Japan, regardless of nationality or visa status. You do not need to be a resident to legally purchase a property. However, the required documents vary by your situation, and our expert staff will provide personalized support.
A. In addition to the property price, you should budget for miscellaneous expenses of around 5-10% of the price. These typically include:
(1) Various Taxes: Stamp duty on the contract, registration license tax for ownership transfer, and real estate acquisition tax.
(2) Brokerage Fee: A fee paid to the real estate company, with a legal cap.
(3) Judicial Scrivener’s Fee: A fee for the legal expert who handles the ownership transfer registration.
Since these costs vary, Mooovin will provide a detailed cost simulation from the start of your financial planning to ensure full clarity.
A. Yes, foreigners can get a mortgage in Japan if certain conditions are met. While some lenders require permanent residency, you may still qualify based on factors like your time in Japan, employment, income, language skills, or if you have a Japanese spouse.
A. While not mandatory, we strongly recommend it. A Japanese bank account simplifies all payments related to the purchase, fees, and ongoing costs like property taxes and management fees. It’s also required if you plan to use a mortgage.
A. The timeline varies, but the entire process—from searching for a property to the final handover—typically takes 2 to 4 months.
