I’m seeking advice on purchasing property in Japan for my parents’ retirement. While I hold UK Permanent Residency and a US Green Card, I am still a Chinese citizen. My parents are Chinese citizens as well.
We’ve been long-time fans of Japanese architecture, particularly a design show focused on homes in Japan. Our favorite designer is Takashi Honma.
We’ve also been in contact with some Chinese-speaking Japanese real estate agents, but we’re still concerned about the possibility of being misled or scammed during the process.
-
Are there any specific restrictions or requirements for foreigners, particularly Chinese nationals, purchasing property in Japan? I know Chinese are not having a good reputation in Japan.
-
How would my UK or US residency status affect this process, if at all?
-
Any tips on navigating the legal or procedural side of purchasing a house in Japan?
-
My parents are elderly, and I’m concerned about the healthcare options for foreign nationals in Japan.
