Pros and cons of this 11DK house

Vacant wooden 11DK house of about 362 m2 on 525 m2 of freehold land in Kanazawa, built in 1952.

Why it stands out

  • Generous plot: 524.93 m² (about 159 tsubo)
  • 3-minute walk to the station
  • Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over

Points to check

  • Built 1952, before the 1981 earthquake code — inspect and budget for reinforcement
  • Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
  • In a mapped flood zone (up to 0.5–3 m in a worst case)

Floor plan

Can a foreigner buy it?

Good, with a few checks. Nothing blocking, but a couple of points to confirm with the agent.

FineYou own the landFreehold

Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.

FineRebuild & road accessRoad access OK

Faces a public road of at least 4 m. Rebuilding is normally allowed.

CheckEarthquake standardPre-1981 code (built 1952)

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.

CheckPaying for itPlan on cash

Japanese banks give little value to old wooden houses, and non-residents rarely get loans. Residents and permanent residents have more options.
