New Property Assessment Tool from LIFULL HOME'S

LIFULL HOME'S, a subsidiary of LIFULL Co., Ltd. focused on property investment, has recently announced a revolutionary feature on their real estate investment portal called 'Asset Value Simulation,' which will be available for free starting July 1, 2026. This tool is designed to help users quickly calculate and compare the asset value of properties, utilizing detailed property data and public data, thus providing them with a useful resource for making informed investment decisions.

Background of the 'Asset Value Simulation' Feature

The primary aim of Kenbiya, the company behind LIFULL HOME'S, is to equip those involved in real estate investment with valuable information that facilitates sound decision-making. Recognizing that understanding the asset value of a property is a critical factor in securing bank loans and assessing future selling risks, the company has consistently provided insights through property introductions and expert columns by renowned investors. However, many novice investors face challenges when trying to ascertain the asset value. This often stems from uncertainties surrounding the calculation methods and the difficulties in accessing relevant public data. In response to these challenges, Kenbiya has developed a solution that encourages users to actively engage in assessing asset values.

Features and Advantages of the 'Asset Value Simulation'

Accessible through a single click on the property details page of the LIFULL HOME'S site, this new feature automatically retrieves data regarding the land and building, delivering an instant calculation of the asset value. By interacting with this tool, users can gain insights into the concept of 'asset value' while deepening their understanding of property investment.

Key Features of the Simulation Tool:

1. Automatic Data Retrieval: The tool fetches critical data from the property automatically, simplifying the user's experience. Users can also make slight adjustments for recalculations.
2. Reliable Data Foundation: Utilizing trustworthy public data sources like the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's 'Land Price Public Notice' and market indicator data from the National Tax Agency, the tool employs an independent calculation logic for its estimations.
3. Visualization of Asset Ratio: The simulation displays what percentage the calculated asset value (land and building combined) constitutes of the actual selling price, thereby providing a visual comparison of the property's asset value.
4. User-Friendly Explanations: Tooltips offer clarifications for terminologies such as 'asset value,' making it easier for novices to understand complex concepts associated with property investment.

Eligible Properties for Simulation

The tool supports various property types, including entire apartment buildings, mansions, commercial buildings, residential rental homes, mixed-use properties, plots of land, and parking spaces. However, some property categories, including those non-rebuildable or under leasehold, may be excluded from simulations.

Insights from Kenbiya's Team

Yukiko Ogino from Kenbiya's site planning department expressed the necessity of addressing users' common concerns regarding property pricing. This new feature allows users to proactively verify asset values, enabling them to move confidently towards inquiries or discussions about potential investments. The initial focus will be on highly sought-after investment properties, such as yield-generating buildings and land sites, with future enhancements planned, including a 'Cash Flow Simulation' tool aimed at assessing long-term profitability and investment efficiency.
