When conducting a "building condition survey" during a real estate transaction of an existing house, how long does it take to conduct the survey and how much does it cost?

There is no set standard for the time and cost of a building condition survey, and it depends on the contents of the property to be surveyed and the company conducting the survey.

For reference, for a wooden house with a total floor area of about 100 square meters, the survey time is about 2 hours and the cost is about 50,000 yen, and there are companies that can be commissioned to conduct a building condition survey. However, it is not certain whether it is possible to survey existing houses all over Japan, so in some cases, you may have to pay additional travel and other costs.
