Wait, who said this would be free?

Easy way to make the transfer system fair, make it so that you purchase the new house in order to make the transfer. Once you put down the capital for the transfer and confirm your purchase of the plot, your previous plot becomes free.

Done deal. Fair for all. I had figured this would be a part of the transfer system from the start, but nooo we can't wait on details can we? We got to jump down the developer's throat before they even have time to mention the idea in full.
