Pros and cons of this 2LDK house
Vacant two-storey wooden 2LDK cabin from 1980, with 69 m² of floor space on a 1,069 m² forested plot.
Why it stands out

Points to check

CheckEarthquake standardPre-1981 code (built 1980)
Built before the 1981 seismic code. Common for cheap houses and not unsafe by definition, but get an inspection and budget for reinforcement; banks and insurers treat these houses differently.
