If i can show off my Apt, that is house sized, that cant be demolished, why would i want a ward house? If i have a house already, and this idea is a good idea to make me trade up for a slightly smaller alternative that would literally unbound me from my subscription.

Anyone purchasing a ward house would be hookwinking themselves into a forced maintained subscription. And once people realize en-mass, players are going to be rushing to buy an apt and full on abandoning the housing wards (smalls)
