Terms of Service & Real Estate Disclosures
Operated by RoofAbroad
1. Informational Property Discovery Tool Only (Not a Licensed Brokerage)
RoofAbroad is an informational property discovery and cross-border cost estimation tool. RoofAbroad is not a licensed Japanese real estate brokerage (宅地建物取引業者 / Takken), legal advisor, or tax consultant, and does not broker property transactions or hold client funds. When you follow a link to an original Japanese listing portal or contact a licensed brokerage, any inquiry or transaction occurs directly under that third party's terms and statutory disclosures (Important Matters Explanation / 重要事項説明書).
2. Translation, Geocoding & Closing Cost Estimate Disclaimer
English translations of Japanese addresses, rail access, floor plans, zoning notes, and structure descriptions are generated automatically for research convenience. Map coordinates are resolved from Japanese municipal/block addresses via the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) and may point to the block centroid rather than the exact parcel boundary. Currency conversions (ECB reference rates) and “True All-In” closing cost breakdowns (statutory agent commission cap of 3% + ¥60,000 + 10% consumption tax, estimated registration/acquisition taxes, and judicial scrivener fees) are estimates only. Always verify exact parcel boundaries, rebuild permissions, structural condition, and final tax assessments with a licensed Japanese real estate broker and judicial scrivener (司法書士).
3. Listing Availability & Source Attribution
Property prices, availability, and specifications can change or be withdrawn at any time without notice. Each property view links directly to its original public Japanese source listing so prospective buyers can verify current availability.
4. Limitation of Liability & Acceptable Use
All data on RoofAbroad is provided strictly “as is” without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, RoofAbroad shall not be liable for any damages arising from reliance on translated listing data, map coordinates, currency rates, or closing cost estimates. Automated bulk scraping or abusive API harvesting is prohibited.
