SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Buying a home in Taiwan involves information asymmetry: listing prices differ from real transaction prices, mortgage approval depends on bank appraisal and central bank credit controls, and agents use pressure tactics. This Skill helps owner-occupier buyers make evidence-based decisions on affordability, fair price, loan cash gaps, and transaction risks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Price and CP-value analysis: Cleans comparable transactions from Taiwan's real-price registry, splits parking spaces, adjusts for floor, age, and condition, then produces a fair-price range, opening bid, and walk-away ceiling. - Mortgage and cash planning: Estimates loan-to-value scenarios, cash shortfalls, monthly payments, and stress tests against appraisal shortfalls and rate hikes, with legal strategies to improve approval odds. - Due diligence and negotiation: Checks building condition, community finances, title, defects, and disaster exposure, and provides ready-to-use Traditional Chinese scripts for responding to agent pressure tactics. - Use Case: A buyer sees a three-bedroom unit listed at NT$8.98M and asks whether it is worth viewing; the Skill checks comparable sales, estimates the cash gap under multiple loan scenarios, flags risks, and outputs a decision with confidence level and next steps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze whether a specific Taiwan property listing is worth buying, including its fair price, mortgage affordability, and risks.

Frequently Asked Questions about taiwan-home-buying-guide

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a Taiwan property listing price is reasonable?▼

Compare the listing against recent actual transaction prices from Taiwan's real-price registry for the same community or nearby similar buildings. Split out parking space value, adjust for floor, age, and condition, and express the result as a range rather than a single precise figure.

How can I legally increase my mortgage loan-to-value ratio in Taiwan?▼

Get pre-approved before shopping, maintain stable payroll records, reduce revolving credit and unsecured debt, and provide complete verifiable income documentation. Choosing properties with clean title and good bank appraisal characteristics also helps; fabricated income or deposit stuffing is refused.

How should I respond when a Taiwan real estate agent pressures me to raise my offer?▼

Ask whether a formal written offer or bargaining deposit actually exists and whether the seller has responded, without requesting other buyers' personal data. Keep your pre-set maximum price and use the provided Traditional Chinese reply scripts to decline escalation.

Does this Skill cover overseas property or rental investment analysis?▼

No. It is scoped to Taiwan owner-occupied purchases, including resale, new, and pre-sale homes. Overseas real estate, pure rentals, investment analysis, and seller marketing copy are explicitly out of scope and handed off to other capabilities.

What documents should I check before signing a Taiwan home purchase contract?▼

Review land and building transcripts, the usage license, the agent's property disclosure, seller condition statements, community management records and finances, and any encumbrances or leases. High-risk items like title defects or structural concerns must be confirmed by a notary, lawyer, or inspector.
