You cannot bid on this alone
A non-resident cannot open a standard Japanese bank account, so the deposit, the bid, and registration must route through a bilingual judicial scrivener or auction agent under a notarised, apostilled power of attorney. This handoff is mandatory, not optional.
Enquire about a bilingual handoff →Deep-read of the three court documents
We are preparing your deep-read. It will appear here shortly. You can leave this page open.
The deep-read reads the three court documents, translates them to plain English, and lays out fact by fact the occupancy, special conditions, encumbrances, and the appraised value they record, with the question to put to a judicial scrivener on each before you commit funds. It is information, not legal, tax, or investment advice, and not brokerage.
