[Assessed 91.8%] Detached house in Takatsu Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa — 15 min from Kajigaya Sta.

This listing has no photographs at all. Neither property photos nor a floor plan are published, and searching the three other portals and the broker's own site turned up no other listing of the same property. As a result we could not verify from images whether there is a retaining wall, a step up from the street, stair access, or whether the house shares a wall with its neighbours. Our site excludes properties with retaining walls holding back 1 metre or more of soil, and with this property we simply could not make that judgement. We recommend an on-site inspection.

One more premise behind the assessed ratio. The listing states the private-road burden as "97.22 sqm (co-ownership share 6484/9722)". We treat this fractional notation as indicating that the private road exists as a separate registered parcel, so we have not deducted it from the 237.74 sqm land area. If the roughly 64.84 sqm share were in fact included in the stated land area, the usable land would be 172.90 sqm and the assessed ratio would fall to 68.2 percent. Because the listing alone does not let us confirm the registered parcels, we show both figures.

The property is in Suenaga 2-chome, Takatsu Ward, Kawasaki, a 15-minute walk from Kajigaya Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line. Mizonokuchi Station and JR Musashi-Mizonokuchi Station are both 18 minutes on foot, so three stations are within reach. The straight-line distance from the listing's map coordinates to Kajigaya Station is about 847 metres; allowing 1.3 times for road detours gives roughly 14 minutes, consistent with the stated 15. Zoning is Category I exclusively low-rise residential with 50 percent building coverage and 80 percent floor area ratio, on a low-rise residential plateau.

The building is a two-storey wooden house completed in June 2007, a 3SLDK with 97.29 sqm of floor area. At 19 years old against the 22-year statutory life for wooden construction, 3 years remain and the building carries 2.91 million yen of assessed value. The land is 237.74 sqm (registry) held in freehold, fronting a 4-metre public road to the south and a 4-metre designated private road to the east. It is currently tenanted and sold with the tenant in place, with 1.8 million yen of expected annual rent and a 3.27 percent gross yield, so income performance is on the low side.

The assessment breaks down into 47.55 million yen of land (200,000 yen per sqm under the 2026 roadside land price, times 237.74 sqm) and 2.91 million yen of building, totalling 50.47 million yen. Against the 55 million yen asking price that is an assessed ratio of 91.8 percent. Roadside land prices in Suenaga 2-chome have risen 5,000 yen a year: 190,000 in 2024, 195,000 in 2025 and 200,000 in 2026. Reaching 80 percent would require 172,799 yen per sqm, so even the lowest band we could confirm around the property, 200,000 yen per sqm, leaves a 15.7 percent margin.

In short, the assessment figures themselves are confirmed down to pinning the property to a specific block on the roadside price map. What remains open is the on-site condition, which the absence of photographs leaves unverified, and the treatment of the private-road parcel.
