Hi guys,
we have narrowed down our searches and found this beautiful property with a nice sea view. All electric house but using a centralised septic tank system. The expenses we would paying are electricity, water and monthly septic tank expenses. House is about 1.7km away from beach and 58m above sea level.
I've gone on several reddit threads and the general consensus is to avoid septic tank systems due to hidden maintenance costs etc. However, this being a centralised system means that a company is responsible for the regular check up and maintenance. they don’t even go directly to the property but somewhere else to pump the waste. The fees are about 3626yen a month.
Love to get some opinions here since this is using a different system and it might work out better since we don’t have to pay for any gas fees and potentially and sewage fees? Would this house be worth to give a shot as we have never had any experience living with a centralised septic tank house. Any other issues we should be aware of? Thanks.
