In Europe we have the "viager". You give money upfront. And then every month you pay a rent to the owner who still live in the house until he dies.

The land in question was bordered with three other parcels of land - one to the left, one to the right and one to the rear. The owners were retiring to the countryside, had no kids, and had good relationships with all the neighboring lots. All three neighbors wanted to buy the lot, so the owners set a price at which everyone agreed and then held a lottery to determine who could buy it.
A lottery.

Coligny, why don't you ask an expert like and agent or a lawyer instead of asking advice from a dubious source like FG?

YOU, SAMURAI JERK, ARE STUPID!
The lottery worked and the sellers got their price.

Catoneinutica wrote:Oh, absolutely! But I wonder...if only there were a way potential buyers make an offer on the parcel based on the highest amount they'd be willing to pay. The seller could then compare these amounts and accept the highest one. Wouldn't it be awesome if there were some way to do this?!

Anyway, this was a deal between a bunch of interested parties, and nobody else's business.

Coligny wrote:BTW: what is wrong with or economically foolish to choose the buyer of the land with a lottery ? It seems to be an old way of doing it... 20-30 years ago. Got some -old- friends in Nagoya who bought their house like this. There was 20-30 new houses to sell. People interested registered and lottery was hled. No drama...

-hankerin' after our neighbor's vacant lot that adjoins our lot. It's a parking lot now, but I'd turn it into a nice U-shaped driveway covered with crushed limestone and bordered with those little iron posts you see in Europe. Unfortunately the old bastard is only in his early sixties.
someone doesn't get how zoning laws/land transfer rules/local family loyalty works here in japan.

That would be also me... Do you has a primer on these ritual behaviour that would be between Aruto Debito gastric acid and the "HelloKitty Japan is so marvellous that i'm shitting raimbows" delirium from some clueless expert es-japan inc ?
