Definitive Survey Costs Vary by Up to Twofold Between Urban and Rural Areas: Mycat Analyzes Regional Disparities Based on Japan Federation of Land and House Investigators' Association Statistics to Improve Cost Diagnostic Features

Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) announces that it has analyzed regional disparities in land survey costs based on compensation statistics published by the Japan Federation of Land and House Investigators' Association. The company will incorporate these findings into the cost calculation logic of its survey cost diagnostic service (https://sokuryo.xyz) and plans to add a feature to visualize regional cost trends.

Structural Factors Behind Regional Survey Cost Disparities

According to the compensation statistics from the Japan Federation of Land and House Investigators' Association, the cost of a definitive survey ranges widely from 300,000 to 800,000 yen, primarily due to the following factors:

• Number and type of adjacent properties: In urban areas, there are more adjacent properties per plot, increasing the man-hours required for boundary confirmation.

• Public-private assessment: Land facing public roads requires assessment of public-private boundaries, incurring an additional 150,000 to 450,000 yen.

• Difficulty of boundary identification: In older residential areas, the loss rate of boundary markers is high, adding costs for restoration work.

Differences in Cost Structures Between Urban and Rural Areas

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's "Status of Cadastral Surveys," progress rates vary significantly by prefecture, with urban areas tending to have lower progress rates. In regions where cadastral surveys are incomplete, definitive surveys must be conducted again during sales or inheritance, increasing the financial burden.

The main factors for higher survey costs in urban areas include:

• A large number of adjacent property owners, requiring time to coordinate boundary meetings.

• Frequent requirements for public-private assessments (high ratio of land adjacent to public roads, waterways, etc.).

• Irregular land shapes, which increase survey man-hours.

Conversely, in rural areas, there are fewer adjacent properties and some regions have higher cadastral survey progress rates, allowing some cases to be completed with a simple current-status survey (200,000 to 450,000 yen).

Reflecting Findings in Survey Cost Diagnostics

Our service combines over 1,200 diagnostic data points with official statistics to calculate costs while accounting for regional characteristics. We will continue to improve the service by adding a feature to visually confirm regional cost trends, enabling landowners to establish more accurate cost projections.
