Buying a Home–Five Checkpoints for the Surrounding Area

Check the surrounding environment more carefully than the model room.

It is better to visit the site where the property will be built and do a thorough investigation of the surrounding area. It is best to visit not just once, but as many times as possible, on weekdays and holidays, morning, noon and night. As for commuting to the office, it is also a good idea to actually walk from the site to the train station during commuting hours and try taking the train to work.

In addition, by visiting nearby public facilities and businesses and engaging in small talk, you will be able to obtain a variety of information about the local environment, the reputation of the schools, and the convenience of shopping.

A showroom is a room created with luxurious furniture, appliances and decorations, and a large mirror on the wall to make the room look larger. This is a way to make the property look more attractive and is completely different from the room you will actually live in. In other words, the atmosphere of a model room, visual information, and materials such as catalogs published by real estate companies can be “made up” as much as possible. Rather, the information you gather by visiting the property yourself is more important to your actual living experience.
