Renovation
A small upgrade,
a property tenants choose.
"The unit is dated and the rent won't go up." "The tenant moved out and I don't know who handles restoration." "I bought a second-hand apartment and want to renovate, but I'm not in Japan." We handle all of this.
Working with our long-standing contractor partners, we take care of the site check, quote, works and final inspection — in Chinese, Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian or Nepali, with photo updates at every stage. Once finished, we can lease and manage the property for you.
Pre-leasing refresh
New wallpaper, flooring and lighting — modest spend that makes the unit lease faster and at a better rent.
Move-out restoration
Move-out inspection, repairs and professional cleaning, plus deposit settlement, so the unit is ready to re-let quickly.
Kitchen, bath & equipment
Replacing or repairing ageing bathrooms, kitchens, toilets, water heaters and air conditioners.
Post-purchase renovation
Partial or full renovation after buying a second-hand apartment or house, planned for living in or for rent.
Enquiry
Tell us the address, current condition and what you'd like done. A few photos are enough to start.
Site check & quote
We inspect the property and send an itemised quote explaining each item and its cost.
Works after approval
Work starts only after you approve the quote, with photo progress updates along the way.
Final inspection
We send photos and video of the finished work. If you're letting the unit, leasing can start right away.
I live overseas. How do I check the work?
We send photos and video by WeChat or email at the quote stage, during the works and on completion. No need to travel to Japan.
How much does it cost?
It depends on size, condition and scope, so we quote item by item after a site check. No works costs arise until you approve the quote.
Can you renovate a property you don't manage?
Yes, please ask. We also handle renovation after purchase and owner-occupied homes. If you plan to rent it out afterwards, we can manage it too.
Can you renovate while a tenant lives there?
Usually works are done after the tenant moves out. Urgent repairs such as equipment failures are arranged around the tenant's schedule.
Free consultations on property management, renovation, buying, investing, renting, studying in Japan and visas. Our team speaks Chinese, Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Nepali.
