Question about housing

[Rolaen]

So, as I've never owned a house until a bit of ago and was merely wondering. If I were to transfer to a different server, do I get the gil back for the house and a bit for what is inside of it?

[Nix]

My memory is a little hazy, but I think that the following is correct:

Only if you are transferring to a preferred server, otherwise you lose everything.
If you're not wanting to transfer to a preferred server, the best thing that you can do is remove all of your furniture and stash it on retainers, let the house auto-demo after 45 days and recoup some of the gil, then transfer.

If you're transferring to a preferred server, still remove all of your furnishings and stash them on retainers, but do not relinquish the land - transfer, and you should receive the entire cost of the plot back plus a small stipend for furnishings lost based on the size of the plot that you owned.

Mildly annoying, but oh well. Thus is the price you pay for such a place haha.

As someone who just transferred to a new server you have to relinquish the house with no money back and take everything out of storage and from the property itself otherwise it will not let you.


Your character must not own any land, estate, or apartment housing.
* Ownership must be relinquished before a Home World Transfer will be possible.
* It is normally ONLY possible to perform a Home World Transfer without relinquishing ownership IF your character is transferring to a New World, or transferring from a Congested World to a Preferred World.
* Please note, some campaigns have specific requirements that override these general rules.
In these cases, the land or apartment will be automatically relinquished and a designated amount of gil reimbursed. The maximum amount that can be returned is 999,999,999 gil, and any gil exceeding this limit will be lost. Any existing estate on the land will be demolished.
