OWNED PLOTS WITH NO HOUSES BUILT SINCE SHIROGANE OPENED

blahblahblah

If I remember right they stopped the auto demolish/relinquishing of houses and plots not long after that, and only recently returned them.

I agree though, it is sad to see plots that go to waste when others could make more use of it and have more fun with it.

[Risvertasashi]

I was under the impression that there is a time limit of which to construct a house.

It's there, but it was suspended due to various natural disasters that might have stopped people from logging in. Like Veliena said, it should be ticking now though.

You have 45 days to build an estate or auto demolish will take it.

I could be that someone used their gil to buy the plot and is saving up to buy the permit. Had that happen to a couple fc members awhile back. They were so happy to be able to finally buy a plot then they were hit with the permit fees they had no idea about so the plot had to go unbuilt for a couple weeks while they got enough gil together.

Let's face it, its likely flippers who got a house on hold til they can find a way to get around the system, but its nice to fantasize about nice people on the internet now and then lol.

Honestly, why do you even bother. It's not up to you to say when someone should build their house after purchase or not.
Mind your own business.

This would have been since like October. A person should be able to get enough gil for a housing permit in 4 months. It could be flippers, it could be someone who got caught up in real life after buying the plot and just never got to the build the house and decorate part. Seems like house flippers would have sold them though before 4.2 hit, since personal housing was unavailable for purchase when it first hit. Being able to transfer to new stuff instead of waiting an undetermined amount of time should have been a huge selling point.

It's been 4 months. The only reason they still have the plots at all is because auto-demo was turned off. In the next 2-3 weeks the problem should take care of itself since auto-demolition is back on.

[Kaminto]

When you see plots sitting empty for 3 months or more it does kind of seem suspicious at times, I've seen plots empty for a whole year until Yoshi implemented the auto-demo function, now yes there are a ton of factors as to why someone would not construct a plot yet but a whole year is crazy (unless you forgot you purchased it)

[worldofneil]

Maybe they're just doing it to prompt threads like this.

I want to say it's unlikely, but it's not impossible that they only construct the estate hall every few weeks, walk inside to reset the timer, then remove the estate hall again.

At the end of the day, auto demolition is in effect now, if it's really inactive, it will get demolished. If not then it's up to that player what they do (or don't do) with their plot.
