To Akiko for R.E. agent. Thank you for sending the picture of the vacant land.
The level of weeds on the land in the picture are unacceptable. We would like
the weeds to be trimmed to soil level. Many years ago we purchased a property in
Nara, Japan. The property adjacent to our property was a vacant house and there
was vacant land on the other side of our property. Neither property was
maintained resulting in our yard being filled with creatures and insects most of
the year. We eventually purchased the property with the house and began weeding
the vacant lot. We moved to Tanegashima and rented a property and home next to
vacant land filled with weeds which turned out to be very difficult. We returned
to America to sell a property and then returned to Tanegashima where we
purchased a property on the island next to a neighbor who did not maintain the
land and again there were many weeds. After several disagreements with the
neighbor, the neighbor began cutting the weeds on a regular basis. We own 4.5
acres of forested mountain on the island and understand the high level of
maintenance required when living in the countryside of Japan. We have
encountered the following on our properties in Japan as a result of the
neighbors not maintaining their properties. Mamushi, Yamakagashi, Mukade, Tons
of mosquitoes. We simply want a safe environment around our home. We were
surprised that the buyers would think the level of weeds in the picture were
acceptable. If the buyers are from the city, they might not realize the amount
of maintenance required of a countryside property, especially if they are not
planning to be there the entire year. I spent twenty years growing up in the
snowiest location in America and know the damage that can occur to a home and
property due to large amounts of snow and cold temperatures. We are very
concerned about the condition of their house and the adjacent vacant land and
the affect it will have on our property. We think that the buyers might be
better off purchasing a home closer to the city where there are less weeds and
city maintenance of the roads and weeds. Please reply to this at your
convenience. Thanks. Howie. |
