A more focused way to start

This route is best for buyers interested in older apartments, value-up renovation, or customizing a home after purchase. Naomi is a Certified Condominium Renovation Advisor, supporting buyers who want to evaluate renovation potential more carefully before purchase.

Check management rules, building condition, layout limits, flooring restrictions, plumbing issues, and approval procedures.
Understand when older properties may be attractive and when they may carry hidden renovation risk.
Coordinate purchase thinking with possible renovation budget and property suitability.

Naomi’s approach

International buyers often need more than property listings. They need a clear explanation of transaction flow, cash purchase strategy, renovation limits, mortgage considerations when needed, and purchase risk before making decisions.

Start with a private English consultation to clarify the most realistic route for your situation.

Renovation-ready advice

Buying an older Tokyo apartment? Look beyond the current condition.

Some properties may look ordinary at first, but targeted improvements can change how the space feels and functions. This section uses examples from Naomi’s own home renovation.

Not a full renovation — a targeted upgrade.

Based on daily comfort and personal taste, Naomi focused on the details that mattered most: windows, flooring, doors, lighting, air conditioning, toilet finishes, and balcony decking.

Approx. ¥1.6M total. Example from Naomi’s own home renovation. Not a property listing.

Approx. ¥1.6M scope included:
  • Double-glazed inner windows for two rooms
  • Walnut-toned flooring
  • All interior doors changed to white
  • Door handles refinished in black
  • Entrance door interior finished in gray
  • Decorative glass tile accent in the toilet
  • New air conditioner and new lighting
  • New balcony wood decking
