~ Aiming to Solve the Vacant Home Problem ~ Nexwill Inc. Announces Partnership Agreement with Nakagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture

Nexwill Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomoyuki Maruoka), a company that purchases complex real estate such as vacant houses and properties with shared ownership, is pleased to announce the signing of a partnership agreement with Nakagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture (Mayor: Shigeki Suetsugu) concerning the promotion of measures for vacant houses. A signing ceremony for the partnership agreement will be held at Nakagawa City Hall on April 7, 2026. This partnership with Nakagawa City is the 13th of its kind nationwide and the first with a municipality in the Kyushu region.

**Overview of the Partnership**

This agreement aims to realize a society where people can live safely and securely and to preserve a favorable living environment by promoting the proper management and utilization of vacant houses within Nakagawa City through mutual cooperation between the city and Nexwill.

While the city has developed as a commuter town for Fukuoka City, it faces future challenges in suppressing the occurrence of vacant houses and promoting their utilization, as its aging rate has reached 24.6% and it is experiencing a trend of population decline. Through this partnership, we will strive to solve the vacant house problem, increase the 'relationship population,' and contribute to the sustainable community development of the region.

**About Nexwill Inc.**

Our company purchases vacant houses and other 'problem properties' that are considered difficult to sell compared to general real estate. We add value by resolving title issues and eliminating the 'problems' that make them difficult to handle or sell, and then resell them.

When people think of problem properties, many imagine stigmatized properties (jiko bukken), but there are actually other factors.

Examples include shared ownership where a property has multiple owners due to inheritance, properties that cannot be rebuilt because they do not meet the conditions of the Building Standards Act, and real estate whose owners have become unknown after repeated inheritances without proper registration.

Our company operates the 'Wakegai' business, which purchases such real estate, resolves title issues, and makes them ready for sale.

Furthermore, to address the escalating vacant house problem, we are actively engaged in public-private partnerships with local governments and sports teams. We have signed partnership agreements with multiple municipalities to support the resolution of vacant house issues. We also collaborate with sports teams to promote the resolution of the vacant house problem and regional revitalization through a tripartite partnership of 'Local Government x Sports Team x Nexwill.'
