First, let’s take a look at the average costs associated with renovating a house. Please note that these are just averages, and actual costs can vary significantly depending on the size of the house, the scope of the work, and the quality of materials used.
The cost of a full renovation varies depending on the size and age of the house, but generally ranges from ¥5,000,000 to ¥20,000,000. If the house is in poor condition or does not meet current earthquake resistance standards, additional repairs will be necessary, which can further increase costs.
In cases where the house is in good condition, it may be possible to renovate for as little as ¥3,000,000.
Below are the average costs for renovating specific parts of a house:
| Area | Cost Estimate (JPY) |
| Kitchen | ¥500,000 – ¥1,500,000 |
| Bathroom | ¥500,000 – ¥1,500,000 |
| Toilet | ¥100,000 – ¥500,000 |
| Washroom | ¥100,000 – ¥800,000 |
| Living Room | ¥200,000 – ¥1,500,000 |
| Bedroom | ¥500,000 – ¥800,000 |
| Entrance | ¥300,000 – ¥500,000 |

I think you know about these costs, but let me share the info for general reference.
Renovation costs are not limited to construction fees alone. From purchasing a house to renovating it and moving in, there are various other expenses to consider.
If you are financing the renovation through a loan, there will be additional fees such as guarantee fees, administrative fees, and stamp duty. The standard rate is around 2-3% of the loan amount.
In some cases, design fees are included in the construction costs, but sometimes they are separate. Be aware that some contractors may offer lower construction costs but charge higher design fees. Be sure to thoroughly review the estimate to check how much the design fees are and whether they need to be paid separately.
If you are conducting major repairs or extensions, you will need to submit a “building permit application” to ensure the property complies with the Building Standards Act and Urban Planning Act. While the contractor will usually handle the actual procedures, the associated fees will vary depending on the size and structure of the building, as well as the inspection agency. As a general guide, expect to pay between ¥150,000 and ¥500,000.
When dealing with older properties, one of the most important factors to consider is whether the building meets earthquake resistance standards. Properties built before May 31, 1981, may not comply with the current earthquake resistance standards (the new standards).
Properties that do not meet these standards face several disadvantages, such as difficulties in securing financing and the need for costly seismic retrofitting, which can significantly increase renovation costs. To verify whether a property meets these standards, it is crucial to check the “Building Confirmation Date.” If the date is on or after June 1, 1981, the property is likely to meet the new earthquake resistance standards.
