Owning an akiya (abandoned home) in Japan is an exciting opportunity, but it comes with responsibilities—regular inspections being one of the most important. These routine check-ups are essential to preserving the value and condition of your property, especially in Japan’s variable climate.

‍Why Are Inspections Necessary?

1. Identify Early Issues: Small problems like leaks or cracks can quickly escalate into costly repairs if not caught early. Regular inspections allow for prompt identification and resolution.
2. Climate Challenges: Japan’s weather, from typhoons to heavy snowfall, can take a toll on properties. Inspections ensure your home is ready to withstand the elements.
3. Preventing Long-Term Damage: Unoccupied homes are more susceptible to issues like mold, pests, and structural degradation. Inspections minimize the risk of these problems.
