Buying and selling real estate in Okinawa
Consider what comes next for your property.
ShakeHands supports the sale and purchase of land and buildings in Okinawa. We look at the location and property conditions alongside the intended use, including accommodation businesses and land-use plans.
Selling land or a building
Your reasons for selling, preferred timing and the property’s condition help shape the sales approach. We organize what needs to be researched, consider the basis for a price and explain the steps involved.
Tell us about the property and your circumstances so that we can discuss an appropriate way forward.
Buying property in Okinawa
The area and purchase budget are a starting point. Intended use, financing and regulatory conditions also need to be considered. We help organize your requirements and the checks relevant to the property.
For a proposed accommodation business, the purchase should also be considered alongside opening costs and the operating plan.
Think about use and feasibility
A building suitable as a home is not automatically suitable for use as accommodation. Location, building specifications and licensing conditions need to be checked. Expected rates, occupancy and operating costs then need to be considered together.
Our Nago case study shows how we approached these questions for houses being considered for accommodation use.
How a consultation proceeds
- Understand your situation. Confirm the location, intended use, property status and your wishes.
- Organize the conditions. Identify the investigations and checks needed.
- Discuss the next steps. Explain the proposed approach, process and costs.
