About this tool
This Korean real estate terms dictionary explains the words first-time renters and buyers meet in 263 short entries across 7 groups: lease and contract, registry and tenant rights, subscription, loans, taxes, area and buildings, and market slang.
Before you sign: check the property register (owner, mortgage and seizures), compare the deposit with the home's price, then on moving day report your move-in and get the fixed date stamp, and consider deposit return insurance.
Subscription basics: you need a subscription account, and eligibility, points and special supply rules differ by sale notice, so read the notice on Cheongyak Home.
Taxes and loans change often, so check the National Tax Service and the Ministry of Land before deciding.
You can try the acquisition tax calculator, brokerage fee calculator, jeonse-wolse conversion calculator, loan interest calculator and subscription score calculator alongside this page.
