People & the Buying Process

現状渡し

genjō watashiげんじょうわたし

As-is handover

Sale in current condition — the seller does not repair anything, and often leaves furniture and belongings (残置物) behind. This is the norm for cheap akiya. Budget for hauling away contents and assume every visible defect is yours; negotiate the price, not the repairs.

Verify ownership before you sign — pull the registry record
