Repair work essential for investment apartment operation

Real estate investment is not a relief after purchasing a property.Apartments are used by people, and deterioration and damage progress without realizing it.The important thing in managing over the long term is to maintain the asset value without declining in anticipation of the time of sale.

If you can sell it after paying off the loan without losing its value while maintaining durability and safety, you will be able to make a big profit.Maintaining the asset value of the property is a necessary measure to stably attract tenants.In order to do so, repair measures are necessary, but what kind of measures are necessary specifically?I would like to introduce you to the repair this time.

Repair service for whole apartment building

Restoration to original condition (small repair)

After tenants use it, there are traces of use in daily life, and cleaning and repair of common areas are required.It would be nice to be able to cover the most frequent repairs, such as wallpaper and ceiling cloth replacement, from the deposit key money, but when you move out, there are situations where troubles are particularly likely to occur, and in some cases, the owner may be responsible.

In addition, it is also possible to prevent large-scale repair work by inspecting deterioration not only in the room but also in the roof and outer walls and making frequent repairs.

It costs about 10 to 20 yen for repairs requested by residents, such as extermination of termites and rats, and broken lights.If you leave it unattended, it may lead to an accident and cause further trouble, so let's deal with it as soon as you find it.

Large-scale repair work

Parts related to the function of the building that pose a danger to the lives of residents need to be repaired on a regular basis.

In 10 to 30 years, it will cost XNUMX million yen once.

Waterproofing work on roofs, painting exterior walls, repairing staircases and corridors, water supply pipes and drainage pipes, etc. The scale is particularly large when scaffolding is set up for workers.The cost of scaffolding is added to the roof, outer wall, and stairs, so it can be said that it tends to be expensive.

Therefore, it is more efficient to deal with multiple scaffolding constructions at once, so let's proceed systematically.

Below are some of the things that tend to cost a lot.

outer wall

There are also concerns for prospective tenants.In a tattered state, you may be distracted by other properties when looking for a room.

It is best if the areas exposed to the elements can be repainted every 10 to 15 years. In many cases, it is about 150 to 200 million yen.

Keep in rain

It is often overlooked because it is a small part, but fallen leaves may be clogged and damaged due to load during heavy rain.It costs about 15 to 20 yen for painting, and it will be smooth if you do it at the same time as the exterior wall construction.

roof waterproofing

It is said that the waterproof treatment of the roof deteriorates in 10 to 15 years, and waterproof coating work is required.Failure to do so may result in water permeating the interior and causing fatal damage.Also, depending on the construction of the property, it may be necessary to replace the roof after about 30 years.

balcony, hallway

This is the part that is used by residents on a daily basis and is exposed to rain and wind, and is prone to deterioration.Like the roof, it will deteriorate in 10 to 15 years, so it is a good idea to maintain it by waterproofing the bottom or painting it.

Stairs

Outside stairs are exposed to rain and wind, and rust and weld peeling are likely to occur, which can cause serious trouble in the event of an accident.In particular, there are cases where accidents that develop into compensation issues occur on the outside stairs, so it would be good to be able to repair them by surveying and painting every five years. I don't think it's a big expense if you think that you can prevent a big accident with about 5 to 10 yen.

bathroom

In the case of replacing all the water supply and distribution pipes, it will cost more than 300 million yen, so it will cost each time.

Summary

In this way, when investing in real estate, repair work must be done someday.When it comes to large-scale repairs, there are not cheap expenses waiting.When you purchase a property, you need to check the repair history, when the next repair will be done, and how much you need to save each month until then.Even if you can buy a property cheaper than the market price, if the property has not been properly repaired, it is like paying the price of the previous owner.
