Even wooden houses can last for decades if properly maintained.
However, there are many detached houses that are suffering from accelerated deterioration due to the effects of recent large typhoons and earthquakes.
In particular, old wooden detached houses often have poor earthquake resistance, and are often demolished and rebuilt.
The problem that arises at this time is the cost of demolishing a single-family home.

This time, we will talk about the demolition of a detached house.
Cost estimates, advantages and disadvantages of demolition,Problems that may occur during dismantlingI'd like to introduce_______
If you are considering rebuilding or relocating to a new home, please use this as a reference.

Average cost of demolishing a detached house

The cost of demolishing a single-family home is roughly determined by its structure and size (total floor area of the house).
This is because buildings with large floor areas require a lot of manpower and heavy machinery costs.
In addition, steel-framed or reinforced concrete structures take a long time to demolish and are therefore expensive to remove.

in particular
For a wooden detached house, it costs between 30,000 and 50,000 yen per tsubo (approximately 3.3 m2).,
Steel-frame construction costs 50,000 to 70,000 yen per tsubo.
RC structure: 60,000 to 80,000 yen per tsubo
This is a rough estimate of the demolition costs.

Thus, demolition costs vary widely.
Heavy machinery may be difficult to access due to the distance to neighboring land or obstacles.
Demolition costs will vary depending on the location and surrounding environment, such as whether additional scaffolding may need to be set up.

When requesting demolition, it is important to have an on-site inspection and a proper estimate prepared.

Benefits of demolishing a house

Demolishing a house is a lot of work, but there are great benefits to demolishing and removing a house.
That is, it will be easier to sell the property by clearing the land,
And it helps to avoid problems such as fire, collapse, and crime.

Easier to sell your property

When selling real estate, there are two differences: an old house still standing and a vacant lot.
Vacant land takes less time to sell and sells for a higher price.

It is often thought that if you have a house, the value of the house will increase and you will be able to sell it for a higher price, but
In the current Japanese real estate market, old houses have little value.

Rather, it will be traded at a price less demolition costs.
Vacant land offers more options for how to utilize the land and allows freedom to build on it, making it easier to sell.

Avoiding vacant house problems

The problem of vacant houses has become more serious in recent years, and it is common for dilapidated houses to remain, especially in rural areas.
If vacant houses are left unattended, they will gradually deteriorate and become more susceptible to damage from major earthquakes and typhoons.

In addition, people have posted signs or sprayed graffiti on the property without permission.
It is not uncommon for people to become involved in crimes such as having their glass broken.
If this happens, it will cause a nuisance to the neighbors,
In the worst case scenario, third parties may be harmed.

To prevent this from happening, the governmentVacant House Special Measures Act" was enacted and implemented.
This allows the government to provide guidance and recommendations on vacant house management, and also establishes penalties for non-compliance.

In the future, there will be stricter scrutiny of the management of vacant houses.
The most rational method of management is to demolish and remove detached houses that are no longer being used.
By demolishing and removing the property, you will be free from the worries of vacant house problems.

Disadvantages of demolishing a detached house

There are great benefits to demolishing an unused detached house.
So why are there cases of old houses being left abandoned?

The main reason is that the reduction in fixed property tax will no longer be available.
Another problem is that it can be difficult to come up with the funds for demolition.

The fixed property tax reduction system will no longer be available

If there is a residential building on the land, there is a special provision that reduces the fixed asset tax on the land.
in particularThe fixed property tax for land up to 200㎡ is reduced to one-sixth.will be done.
For areas over 200㎡, the tax will be reduced to one third.will be done.

Therefore, unless you plan to sell the land,
Since it is cheaper to pay property taxes if the building is left abandoned, many detached houses are left abandoned.

Dismantling costs can be high

The cost of demolishing a single-family home, even if it is a wooden structure, can range from 2 to 3 million yen.
This is a huge burden for ordinary people and not an amount that can be easily afforded.

Also, depending on obstacles, the width of the road in front, and the size of the building, demolition costs may exceed expectations.
As a result, there are many cases where buildings are left abandoned despite the desire to demolish them.
