Unable to relocate private house

So I won a lotto on a plot. Rolled a 1. I think I was the only bid and won. However the game will not let me relocate. Everything is empty from the old house and the storeroom is empty too. I keep getting an error message ( Unable to move all placed furnishings (indoor and outdoor) into the storeroom. Relocation canceled. ) each time I try to move the house. Anyone else have this issue?

Go to the Housing Menu >>> Estate Settings>>>Storeroom Status, you should have two green checks there showing your relocation status (indoor and outdoor status). If they are not both green you need to remove items from storage in the areas with the red check until it is shown as green.

The houses are totally empty? like 0/200 0/20? I'm trying to think but if it's totally empty, then I would suggest you contact a GM or report the bug as soon as possible.

Hopefully this has already been resolved, but if not, I had a thought… you say you have nothing placed and nothing in storage. So your storeroom status should be fine. But I’m wondering if maybe that’s causing it to glitch out, because it’s trying to move something and there’s nothing there to move! lol Try placing one item in the yard and one item in the house and see if that works. And let us know!

There was a thread with a similar issue a while back, nothing they tried worked besides demolishing their house and then purchasing the new one. And I am amazed they had the guts to do it! It did work out for them though, thankfully.

I really hope they read this and gave it a try. It's only a few more hours left before that house goes back up. It would be so sad if they lost it.

I find it difficult to believe that you were the only bidder on a private house in Mateus in any round besides the first round with the new wards. Sounds more like you bid in a FC only ward. In that case, it won't matter at all that your private house is empty because the game is trying to relocate your FC house. If this is the case, I really hope you did not attempt to relinquish your private house. *shudder*

Oh I didn’t even think of that! Hope OP managed to get everything sorted!

I am having a difficult time with housing. I have a house in Ishgard, and I want to relocate, but every single plot I go to for a private buyer (non FC) is unavailable for purchase. Is this a result of the arbitrary timers? Shouldn't relocation be available? What am I doing wrong?

It means that the plot that you are looking at was recently abandoned or auto-demoed and won't be available until the next lottery cycle.

The lottery consists of a 5 day bidding period, when people have opportunity to bid on 1 plot, and a 4 day results period, when the winners of the bidding period may finalize their purchases. You were probably trying to bid during the results period.

A new bidding period has actually just begun as of several hours ago. All of the houses that previously said "unavailable for purchase" should now be up for grabs. Any houses that are demolished during this bidding period will not be available for bids until the next bidding period.

Make sure that you are bidding on a plot available to private buyers, and if it is a free for all plot, make sure you place your bid as a private buyer. You don't want to end up like the OP, who I strongly suspect placed a bid in an FC ward for the purpose of relocating their private plot.
