I regret getting a large house...

You don't get any gil back for relocating, but if the cost of relocating is more than 30% of the cost of your current plot, the relocation cost is waived. If it's less than 30% than the relocation is discounted by that much.

Personally I would find a large way too big for my private house. I like to decorate my personal house in a way that makes sense for one person living in it, which means I don't want to put in like 5 beds, or a bunch of separate tables. And it is very hard to fill up a large house in that style. My medium house works perfectly as a private residence, though, and I can fill my FC's large house with all the ideas that work for lots of people.

That said, I definitely agree with Vidu that you shouldn't feel guilty about "stealing" a large house. If anyone is upset that they didn't get the house they want, they should be mad at SE, not the player that got it.

30% of the bottom price of that plot, not what you paid for. So say its a 1st class plot they paid 50m for. Its not 30% of 50m they get but 30% of 24.8m which is the cost of the plot after its final devaluation. It's how they getcha. It's better just to wait out the 45 days or w/e it is and get 80% back. Stinks to go without a house for that long but if the gil is important, gotta do what you gotta do.

Yeah, I wish it was 30% of what you actually paid. They may not have the ability to track that, but it's more fair, imo.
