Buyer Example

Property Intelligence
Report

A buyer-facing diligence brief for one specific Japanese property. It does not replace licensed legal, tax, brokerage, architectural, or construction advice; it makes the property legible enough to know which professional questions matter next.

Report Structure

From listing romance to decision clarity

The report is structured to reduce ambiguity, not to make a weak property look stronger than it is.

What is being evaluated

1. Property snapshot

  • • Listing URL, source, agent/owner contact path, and current advertised status
  • • Price, building size, land size, age, structure, layout, occupancy, and visible condition notes
  • • Known gaps: missing address precision, absent floor plans, unverified boundaries, unclear utilities, or no disclosure documents yet

Can the place actually work

2. Location and access intelligence

  • • Road approach, parking, winter/rain access, nearest rail/highway access, and daily-life services
  • • Neighborhood context: adjacent uses, noise/activity, isolation, view corridors, and practical arrival experience
  • • Map-based checks for slope, hazard exposure, zoning clues, and obvious infrastructure constraints where public sources are available

What still needs verification

3. Risk and unknowns register

  • • Separated columns for confirmed facts, listing claims, owner-reported information, visible issues, and professional checks required
  • • Red/yellow/green flags for transaction friction, renovation risk, legal/document gaps, utilities, access, and buyer-use fit
  • • Recommended questions for the broker, owner, municipality, architect, contractor, scrivener, or other professional

Should you keep going

4. Buyer-fit recommendation

  • • Who the property may fit: lifestyle buyer, renovator, guesthouse operator, artist base, farmer, investor, or long-term resident
  • • Who should avoid it, based on budget, time, renovation tolerance, language/admin burden, or remoteness
  • • Next-step decision: drop, watch, request documents, schedule viewing, commission field documentation, or move toward professional diligence
