Namerikawa City — buying kominka and vacant houses

We buy vacant houses in Namerikawa City as they are.

Narrow townhouses still line the old Hokkoku road near the coast. Move inland to the Kazumi district and the view changes to farmhouses with windbreak groves. The city is a thin strip from sea to mountain, so houses with salt damage and houses under heavy snow sit in the same municipality. We have seen both kinds of damage and appraise by condition.

Old merchant houses and townhouses remain along the old Hokuriku road in Namerikawa, and houses differ in character between the sea side and the hill side. The town is compact, and many vacant houses stand close to the station or the port.

Even with a good location, people often tell us they are stuck because the contents are still inside or the title is still in a grandparent's name. We can start from the paperwork even if the inheritance registration is not done, so tell us how things stand.

If you want a wider view of the market before selling, see Using the akiya banks. You can talk to us even while your house is listed there.

How houses sell in Namerikawa City

Namerikawa has old, narrow-fronted houses lining the town centre along the old Hokuriku highway, with the coastal area and the farming area having different kinds of houses. Namerikawa City runs a “town centre revitalisation programme”: donate a dangerous vacant house, land and all, to the city, and it will demolish it for you. But a donation brings no money in return. Before that, check with a free appraisal whether it's worth something.

Snow, roads and land in Namerikawa City

The town centre along the old Hokuriku highway keeps its traditional layout of narrow, deep, strip-shaped lots in a row. Many houses have only a few dozen centimetres between them and the next. Because getting scaffolding or heavy machinery in takes some ingenuity, a demolition-based quote tends to come out high in this district.

Coastal houses take seasonal wind and salt, so metalwork and cladding wear faster than on the plain. Up in the hills around Tofukujino, snow becomes the main burden. Because Namerikawa is compact, vacant houses often sit close to the station and port, and where the location is that good we can price on a rental basis.

Not sure about the condition? A location and a rough build year is enough to start. Within Namerikawa City we can come to check the site right away.

Subsidies in Namerikawa City

Namerikawa City has subsidies for demolishing or renovating vacant houses. Budget and conditions are set each fiscal year, and starting work before the grant is approved disqualifies you as a rule. Whether selling, renting or repairing is best can depend on the scheme, so we check it alongside the appraisal.

Namerikawa City FAQ

Can I really sell a vacant house in Namerikawa City without clearing it out?＋−

Yes. In Namerikawa City too, we buy with the contents and the altar still inside; we dispose of them, so no clearing out. From townhouses along the old Hokkoku road to farmhouses in the Kazumi district, we take them all as they are.

How long from appraisal to handover in Namerikawa City?＋−

As little as two weeks from the site survey. A few days from your request to the visit, and the price within a week. Damage differs between the coast and the hills, so we appraise by district, and within Namerikawa City it goes smoothly.

Another firm said it can't be sold without demolishing. Is that true in Namerikawa City?＋−

We don't assume demolition. We repair the houses we buy and pass them on, so there is no demolition cost to deduct from the price. Many requests here come from heirs living outside the prefecture, and the better the condition, the bigger the difference. Appraisal is free, with no charge if you decline.

Which is better: donating to the city to have it demolished, or selling to you?＋−

It depends on the condition. Donation and demolition costs you nothing, but the asset goes to zero. Our appraisal is free, so it costs nothing to check first whether it is worth something before you decide.

Can a narrow-fronted house on the old Hokuriku road be sold?＋−

Yes. A narrow, deep townhouse is a hard shape to sell through a broker, but we buy it as it is, even if the plot cannot be rebuilt on.
