Just thought I would drop in with something a bit different. Reading back through the conversations here made me really miss the UK and the thought of buying there...but oh well.
Currently in the process of designing and building my own place in Tokyo and it's a lot of fun but of course, stressful and time consuming. Buying a place/building here is completely different to the UK and it's interesting to see how it works on both sides.
Basically, we bought the land and the developer who sold it also build so we had the option to use them which we did. We have now decided and signed off on the floorplan and next meetings with architects will be to decide colours of floors/walls/external siding/roof etc.
Of course, much smaller than what we could get in the UK, but it sure feels good to own finally!
