RE: Renovation Quotes In Japan. Is this for real?

Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting to see the models of the present house and of the “renovated”. Honestly, though 17 mil is high, I thought the cost for renovation would have been higher assuming that the house is more than 40 years old. I don’t have much experience in this field, but having spoken to a few retirees who have had to decide what to do with their family house after their parents had passed, they mentioned how expensive it is to do renovations. One of them in particular, decided that it was better to demolish though that too was expensive. Demolition costs include getting rid of the different parts/ materials of the house after it’s taken down.
It’s good and unusual that they suggested ways in which you could cut cost. With such low interest rates on loans and @17M, I’d probably give it a run though there may be other factors to be considered.

That is a good point, it's an old house so needs nuff work. But I think 17M¥ just sounds too high but just like you, I don't know much about renovation and material cost. Demolition the house and the land tax difference is something that really supeised me, you would think it would be the same. Me a gwaan pree it because can't jump too fast on 17M 😂

I had one adventurous idea, lol. In the end, if possible, you will build a new house, demolish the old house. but you won't pay anything for the demolition.
It is necessary that the perimeter of the new house absorb the perimeter of the old house. It will take a little longer, but it will look like the reconstruction of an old house, repair.
As the outer walls of the new house grow, you will gradually dismantle the old house, starting from the roof and so on. The old house, as I understand from the boards, it will not be difficult to dismantle it, if you find cheap labor, it will not be difficult, but to take out the old rubbish, hire a truck in the village and gradually dismantle the old house. Moreover, boards, old windows and roofing, I think you can sell, you need to look for a buyer in the villages, give an announcement about the sale, buyers themselves will be able to come and buy everything they need. important. so that the new house does not look very different from the old house in appearance, but it can be made of stone, and not of plywood. It is quite difficult to describe the whole idea in three words, but it can work out. To be honest, investing that kind of money in renovating this. a murdered house makes no sense. You do not know. how does the old foundation of the house feel. It looks like a scam, but if people are required to pay so much for demolition and repairs, then the end justifies the means :)
