3 Key Strengths

Three reasons investors buy with TLL

Buying is not the end of the job. Where to buy, at what price, how to run it and when to sell all matter. With our in-house data platform and teams that buy, renovate, manage and operate property, TLL supports you from purchase through to exit.

Sourcing with data

We assess properties against the market using listing, transaction, rent and price-change history data.

Thinking in holding periods

We track the market with a watch list and advise on rent reviews and when to sell.

Delivered by our own teams

Renovation, interiors, minpaku and hotel operations and rental management are all in-house.

The Urbalytics real estate data platform

01 / DATA-DRIVEN SOURCING

Find the right property with Urbalytics data

Urbalytics, the real estate data platform TLL built in-house, holds listing-price histories, price cuts, transaction records and rent levels. Together we check whether a property is cheap against the market, whether its rents have room to rise, and whether the numbers work with a loan.

See how the asking price has moved and when it was cut
Check how cheap the property is against nearby sales and listings
Gauge rent upside and risk against local rents
Model cash flow with your loan terms to see what you keep
Access properties before they are publicly listed, through the agent network built by our acquisition team

02 / END-TO-END

Track it on a watch list, and optimise when to sell and what it is worth

Before you buy, candidate properties go on a watch list so we can follow price changes and nearby sales. After you buy, your own properties join the list and we review market prices, rents and yields regularly. We advise on rent reviews, repair timing and when to sell based on the data, aiming to maximise your return over the whole holding period (lifetime value).

Before buying: follow candidates on the watch list so you don't miss a price cut
After buying: review market prices, rents and yields of what you own
Spot room for a rent review from the gap to local rents
Plan repairs, refinancing and a sale together with the cash flow
When selling, compare net proceeds from a direct sale to us and a brokered sale

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there a fee for a consultation?

Consultations are free. If you buy through our brokerage, we charge a brokerage fee within the cap set by the Real Estate Brokerage Act. If you buy a property that TLL itself is selling, there is no brokerage fee.

Can foreign nationals or overseas residents consult you?

Yes. We work in Japanese, English and Chinese, and also explain what foreign buyers need to know about loans, purchase documents and tax.

Can you help with financing?

We can introduce lenders and advise on how to approach financing for your property and situation. Whether a loan is approved, and on what terms, depends on each lender's review.

What is the watch list?

A list of properties you are considering or already own, on which we keep tracking price changes, nearby sales and local rents. When something changes, we share it as input for deciding when to buy or sell.

Do I have to use TLL for management or operations after buying?

No. We are happy to help with the purchase only. You can come back to us when you need management, renovation or operations.

Which areas do you cover?

Mainly income properties in Tokyo and its three neighbouring prefectures, with a focus on the 23 wards.
