Housing and Transfering

[Shougun]

You will want to take all the items from the house that you find valuable, they will all be killed on transfer - which is why SE gives you 3 million gil as compensation. But that 3 mil is given as a flat rate (it's not insurance lol), so take advantage of it by getting the most out of your house. Out of paranoia I'd leave one item just in case though lol "reimburse me for my Sweet Troll for 3 mil thx"

Also:

Players who own an estate will have the full cost of the land returned to them, and receive an additional 3,000,000 gil to compensate for lost furnishings. Players who wish to be reimbursed for the price of the land must not relinquish their land before performing a World Transfer.

For further info I just looked up and people on reddit said they didn't have to demolish their estate (house), they just left it all as it is like Nix said (especially do not relinquish the land lol). So take the stuff from the house you want to keep and then just leave some dead fish in there for the next person to own the house .

One person said they had to demolish their estate (house), so I don't know why four said no and one said yes, but it's super clear do not relinquish the land (said it three times now just in case hehe). I'd suggest taking the stuff you want, then giving it a whirl and it'll let you know if you need to do anything further or not ("BEEP RETAINER SELLING ITEMS, FIX" "DEMOLISH STINKY FISH HOUSE" , etc).
