Rescission or termination
On grounds such as the Consumer Contract Act, the Building Lots and Buildings Transaction Business Act (cooling-off), or rescission for fraud, we seek to unwind the contract and recover the money you have paid.
- The shortfall grows every month.
- I was told it would cut my taxes.
- I could not say no, and I signed.
That contract may be reversible.
We negotiate toward rescission of the contract, a buy-back, or damages.

investment condominium scheme.
investment condominium scheme.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You signed because the sales representative told you to.
- Your loan repayments exceed the rent, so you lose money every month.
- You were told it would cut your taxes or act as a pension.
- Your sublease rent was reduced, or the sublease was terminated.
- You asked to cancel and were told to pay a large penalty.
- You are worried that you paid well above the market price.
Many people signed because they could not refuse, and now regret it.
Eight Force Law Office
can take these problems on.
- An attorney personally reviews the contract, the cash-flow projection, and how you were approached
- Rescission, termination, buy-back, damages — we pick the route that fits your case and negotiate
- We explain the fees and the outlook before we start
Contracts like these
may be open to challenge.
Did any of the following happen when you were approached or signed?
- trick-1.png
No explanation of risks such as vacancy, repair reserves, or falling rents
- trick-2.png
A cash-flow projection that showed only the favourable side
- trick-3.png
No explanation of the rent-reduction or termination clauses in the sublease contract
- trick-4.png
You were pressed to decide that same day
- trick-5.png
You signed somewhere other than the company's office, such as your home or a cafe
- trick-6.png
You were urged to buy an investment property using a home loan
These are facts that can support rescission or termination of the contract, or a claim for damages.
Main routes to a resolution
We choose the route that is most workable in your case.
Buy-back negotiation
We ask the seller to buy the property back and settle the loan. This is the central route when the aim is to resolve the matter by negotiation rather than in court.
Claim for damages
Where the duty to explain the risks was breached, we claim compensation for the resulting loss. If negotiation does not settle the case, it moves to mediation or litigation.

Frequently asked questions
- Several years have passed since I signed. Is it still possible?
- Rescission under the Consumer Contract Act must be exercised within one year of realising that you can rescind, and within five years of the contract. Rescission for fraud and claims for damages can be allowed over a longer period. Please start by checking the dates.
- I have no proof that the risks were never explained to me.
- Even without a recording, what the contract, the disclosure statement, and the cash-flow projection actually say lets us examine whether an explanation was given. Please bring the documents you have, just as they are.
- What happens to my loan?
- If a buy-back or a cancellation goes through, we aim to settle the loan with the returned purchase price and similar payments. We cannot promise a result, but we will tell you the plan and the outlook at your first consultation.
- I am uneasy about dealing with the seller myself.
- Once you instruct us, the attorney becomes your point of contact, so as a rule you no longer have to deal with the seller directly.
- I live far from Tokyo. Can I still consult you?
- Yes. We consult by telephone and online, and you can send your documents by email.
