Introduction

In the world of real estate, the journey to selling a property can often be fraught with challenges, especially when it comes to non-buildable apartments. A recent case involving an outdated apartment that lacked clear distinctions between its blueprint and actual conditions exemplifies this ordeal. This article details how the real estate appraisal firm, SA, navigated the intricacies of such a property, showcasing the critical role of negotiation and informed decision-making.

The Property Challenge

The apartment in question was reported to have a mere 2-meter width according to its blueprint. However, it was unclear if this was indeed the case upon site inspection. Compounded with an unfinished surveying task and complications in water and sewage infrastructure construction, the prospect of selling this property seemed bleak.

Real estate appraiser Yasuhiko Sakai, the representative of SA, initiated a series of discussions with the city hall to unravel the complexities surrounding the property. Throughout these negotiations, close attention was given to identifying the feasibility of reconstruction, confirming possibilities step by step.

Overcoming Obstacles

Sakai’s perseverance paid off as he and his team diligently worked through city regulations and municipal ordinances to ascertain the true status of the property. By pinpointing risks arising from the ambiguity of the surveying data, they proceeded cautiously in navigating the legal framework surrounding the sale.

The process also involved obtaining approval for a water and sewage piping plan, aligning with the city’s requirements. This approval was pivotal in reassuring potential buyers about the property’s utility, ultimately enhancing its marketability.

Successful Sale

After meticulous planning and addressing all pertinent concerns, the team successfully sold the apartment. This remarkable achievement underlines that even properties burdened with structural limitations can find their way to the market with the right expertise and negotiation prowess. What this case illustrates is that with precise evaluations and strategic communication, seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be transformed into opportunities.

Upcoming Seminar

In light of this success, SA will host a seminar on November 25, 2025, aimed at shedding light on the complexities involved in real estate transactions, particularly in the realm of non-buildable properties. The event will also serve as a forum for media personnel to gather insights into such unique real estate matters.
