## Triiku Joins the National Consortium for Vacant House Countermeasures

Triiku, operator of the vacant house buying site "Akiya Kaitori.com" and the "Wakiari Bukken Marutto Kaitori" service for troublesome real estate (Headquarters: Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Koki Ikegami), announced its participation in the National Consortium for Vacant House Countermeasures, an initiative dedicated to addressing the social challenge of rising vacant house numbers in Japan.

As a startup, Triiku aims to leverage its rapid decision-making and unique renovation expertise to reduce friction in the "Consultation → Purchase → Renovation" process, deepening collaboration with participating companies to achieve a Japan where "no one is troubled by vacant houses."

### Background of Participation
Vacant houses continue to increase across Japan, causing issues such as degraded regional scenery, reduced safety, and increased management burdens. Owners often struggle to make decisions due to complex factors like inheritance issues, household items, shared ownership, unclear boundaries, and management costs.

In response, the National Consortium for Vacant House Countermeasures was established, bringing together businesses and academic institutions with unique expertise to support owners and provide practical assistance in curbing the number of vacant homes.

Triiku has dealt with properties that are difficult to circulate on the open market, including those with complex inheritance and shared ownership structures, neglected or aged detached houses, and properties with contractual risks such as unclear boundaries. The company emphasizes clearing up these issues and putting owners in a position where they can make informed decisions.

### Role in the Consortium
Triiku will contribute to curbing the rise of vacant houses by sharing the issues it has encountered on-site and its resolution processes, translating them into formats usable by owners and local governments.

### Initiatives of the Consortium
The National Consortium for Vacant House Countermeasures works to curb vacant houses through awareness campaigns, support for owners and municipalities, research, and promotion of collaboration among participants.

- For Owners: Seminars, events, and consultation support.
- For Municipalities: Seminars for administrative staff and consultation response.
- Research & Investigation: Research, analysis, and dissemination of information regarding vacant house issues.
- Collaboration: Information sharing and business matching among participants.
