Description
I bought this property in June. Because my parent is elderly, I bought it for caregiving and future family life, and I planned to renovate extensively and live here. However, it turned out that my parent's dementia is far more advanced than I had thought, and I no longer want to live together. After talking with my siblings, we decided to place our parent in a care home, so I am selling the property.
Current condition:
There are currently no roof leaks, the house is comfortable, and it can be lived in right away. However, it is 50 years old and has a flat "flat roof structure" (concrete flat roof), so I expect that waterproofing maintenance, painting and some repairs will be needed in the future. I have not done much renovation myself, and the property is being sold as a whole on an "as-is" basis (sold in current condition, with the seller exempt from liability for non-conformity with the contract).
Utilities: Electricity, internet and gas are all fine (city gas was connected in August). The toilet is on a septic tank. Kitchen and bath wastewater drains properly. Sewer pipes already run right up to the front of the property, so connecting to the public sewer is possible right away.
Structure and layout: Although sold as-is, the structure is solid (confirmed by a contractor as an Ube House build). The rooms are spacious and the house is airy and comfortable. Almost every room has storage. Many rooms are tatami rooms, which makes DIY and maintenance very easy; you can look into the underfloor space and, through the closets, into the attic right away, so checking plumbing repairs, electrical wiring and roof leaks is easy. After purchase you can customize the house as you like: convert Japanese-style rooms to Western-style, apply wallpaper or plaster to interior walls, waterproof-coat the flat roof, repaint the exterior walls, and so on. Waste, tatami mats and unwanted items from DIY work can be taken to the Hōfu City center free of charge. The collection site is about a 15-minute drive away.
Parking: At present, large vehicles cannot enter the garden side, but several kei cars can park through an existing entrance. If you want to park large vehicles, or plan to run a care home or shared house in the future, I recommend renovating or building a new bridge on the garden side. Then you could park any number of cars. I have already consulted the city office and confirmed that a bridge up to 7 meters wide is permitted. A small bridge currently exists; a kei car can park on it without problems, and even a Prius was fine, but this is not guaranteed. If you demolish the block wall, you can drive into the garden.
Surroundings: There are many famous fishing spots very close by, with many anglers on weekends and weekdays, so converting the property into a private lodging (minpaku) or a shop could be interesting. (I fished for squid there every day myself, so much that I got tired of it.) A convenience store is behind the property, and there are several supermarkets, Don Quijote, AEON, and Yume Town, as well as a daily bus that reaches the station in about 10 minutes, so daily life should be no problem.
Current occupancy: My eldest son is currently living there to look after the property, but he has only minimal belongings, so he should be able to move out promptly once a buyer is decided. Please feel free to message me first, for example "I'd like to see inside" or "I'd like to know the exact location." Since moving them is a hassle, I will give away items needed for daily life, utility setups, and anything else you may want for free or at a very low price, so you could move in immediately.
Disadvantages: There is a barn and a storeroom at the back. The back barn and parking area are hard to enter, and stray cats roam around. The previous owner kindly agreed to have the garden trees cut down, but this is being done through the Silver Human Resources Center, so some are still left and I do not know when it will be completed.
The real-estate assessed value is 10,000,000 yen (of which the land alone is 7,000,000 yen). The asking price below is surprisingly cheap, less than half of the land assessed value. Even if the building has to be demolished in the future, the value of the land remains, so I believe this is a property where you will not lose money.

6月に購入した物件です。親が高齢となり、介護や将来家族との生活のために購入し、大々的にリフォームして生活するつもりでしたが、親が思っていた以上に認知症が進行しているのが判明し、一緒に生活することがイヤになり、兄弟と話し合い末、ホームに入居することになり、売却することになりました。
現在、雨漏りはなく、生活は快適であり、すぐにでも生活できる状況ですが、築50年が経過しており、平らな「陸屋根構造」のため、将来的に防水メンテナンスや塗装や多少の修繕の費用が必要だと思います。当方でリフォームあまりせず、「現状有姿（現況のまま・売主の契約不適合責任免除）」を条件で一括売却します。電気、ネット、ガスも問題なく（都市ガス8月引き込み済）、トイレ（浄化槽）です。キッチン、お風呂の排水されてます。下水道化も目の前まで配管があるので、すぐ可能です。現状有姿ですが、しつかりした構造（業者さん確認でウベハウス）、部屋も広く、風通しのよい快適な家です。ほぼ全部屋収納があり、畳の部屋が多いですが、結果的に自力によるDIYやメンテナンスが非常に楽で、すぐ床下や押入れから屋根裏を覗けますので、配管修繕や電気配線のチェックはすぐ可能で、雨漏りチェックも可能です。和室を洋室化したり、室内壁紙や漆喰にしたり、陸屋根の防水塗装や外壁塗装を含め、購入後にご自身の好きなようにカスタマイズでき、DIYの際に出たゴミや畳、不用品は防府市のセンターに持っていけば無料です。収集所は15分ほどで到着します。
駐車場が現在、大型の車は庭側に侵入できませんが、軽なら数台、侵入口があり停めることができます。大型の車も停めたいなど、介護ハウスやシェアハウスを将来的にやりたいなど考えられておられれば、庭側に橋を改装または新設をオススメします。何台でもお停めいただけると思います。役所には相談済で、7メートルまでかけていいと確認済です。また、現在小さな橋がかけられてますが、軽自動車は橋の上に停車してても平気で、プリウスでも平気でしたが、保証はしません。ブロック塀を破壊したら庭に進行可能です。
また、有名な釣り場がすぐ近くに多数有り、週末や平日も釣り客が多く、そのため民泊や店舗化しても面白そうです。（自身もイカが毎日釣れて飽きるほど釣りました。）コンビニは物件裏手にあり、またスーパーが数種、ドンキ、イオン、ゆめタウンや駅に10分ほどで行けるバスも毎日通ってますので、生活には困らないと思います。
現在長男が管理のため住居中ですが、最低限の物のみですので、決定後すみやかに退去できるはずです。まずは「中を見てみたい」「詳しい場所を知りたい」など、お気軽にメッセージをいただけますと幸いです。生活に必要な物、ライフラインのセット、欲しいものがあれば持ち運びが面倒なので、無料または格安で譲りますので、すぐ住むことも可能です。
マイナスな所は、納屋と倉庫が裏手に有ります。裏手の納屋や駐車場が侵入しにくく、野良猫ちゃんが徘徊してます。庭の木は前所有者さんの好意により伐採してもらえますが、シルバー人材センターさん経由なので、まだ残りが有ります。いつ頃になるかわかりません。不動産評価額は1,000万円（そのうち土地だけで700万円）あります。下記記載の希望価格は、土地評価額の半額以下という驚きの安さです。将来もし建物を解体することになっても、土地の価値がしっかりと残るため、損をしない物件だと思います。
