NexWill's Breakthrough in Shared Property Acquisitions

The Japanese real estate market has recently witnessed a significant rise in shared property transactions, with NexWill Co., Ltd. announcing that they have surpassed 400 acquisitions through their specialized service, 'Wakegai'. This service has gained notable attention as it addresses issues related to shared ownership, often arising from situations such as inheritance or divorce. The company's innovative solutions and expertise were spotlighted on NHK's 'News Watch 9' broadcast on January 19, 2026.

Understanding Shared Property

Shared property refers to real estate that is owned by multiple parties. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend of individuals looking to sell shared properties to avoid the complications associated with divorce settlements and inheritance disputes. However, to sell a property owned in common, the agreement of all co-owners is necessary — a requirement that can complicate matters significantly. Selling a partial ownership stake is feasible but often burdensome, leading to a shortage of companies willing to undertake such transactions.

Interpersonal conflicts among co-owners can impede negotiations, resulting in many properties becoming stuck due to legal complexities. It's in this context that NexWill has emerged as a leader in addressing these challenges.

The Journey to 400 Transactions

Since launching their service in 2020, NexWill has amassed a wealth of knowledge in handling shared property acquisitions. Their expertise includes clarifying ownership rights, facilitating coordination among co-owners, and offering legal support, enabling them to take on cases that have previously proved too challenging to resolve. The impending enforcement of mandatory inheritance registration starting April 2024 has led to an uptick in clients keen to sort out inherited properties they may have neglected over the years. Additionally, the rise in inquiries can also be attributed to the demographic shift towards a 'multi-death society', increasing the need for professional assistance in real estate matters.

About NexWill

NexWill is committed to purchasing properties that are challenging to sell, such as vacant homes or properties with complicated legal standings. Their objective is to rearrange the ownership rights associated with these 'problem properties' to make them market-ready again. While many equate problem properties solely with those linked to accidents or mishaps, there are many other causes for a property to fall into this category. Examples include properties owned jointly following inheritance, buildings that cannot be reconstructed due to zoning laws, and properties that have undergone repeated inheritance without proper registration, leading to ambiguity over ownership.

Through their 'Wakegai' program, NexWill actively acquires such properties and organizes the ownership rights, thereby making them eligible for sale once more.

Additionally, recognizing the pressing issue of vacant homes in Japan, NexWill has ventured into public-private partnerships to address this crisis. They have established cooperation agreements with various municipalities and sports teams to tackle the issue of vacant houses while simultaneously promoting local revitalization.
