Here's my 2 cents on this topic, create a feature that allows an FC to move house.
....

I would suggest adding a "house relocation" function,
For moving to a same size or larger plot.

While purchase the new plot when you already have a house, you have an option to buy "house relocation",
the cost would be for example, the permit (i.e. 3.5M for large) x 1.5 or x2 etc.
Then your existing plot will be released and everything will be put into the new house directly.
Private chamber / Workshop progess / Chocobo in stable / Plant on gardens..etc everything will be carried to the new plot.
So you just need to relocate your housing item. ^^;

Ideally also adding some discount for trade-in your old plot when purchase this "house relocation".

They announced the feature.

I wish this was a thing now. My FC went through something similar, We tried to relocate, and we demolished everything, our two airships, all chambers, everything but all our unmovable furniture, to move from a small cluttered house to a large mansion plot.

Sadly, we get error messages saying that we can't demolish the house because items are still inside (even though there are none) and a bunch of other problems with that house when we tried to move. Even after contacting the GMs about it. :/

Your suggestion would have saved us 38 mil if it were already in place. Dang.

Sadly I don't think that would ever happen, they seem pretty dead-set on irremovable items staying irremovable so primal crafting mats stay popular. Nice idea, though.

I am very much afraid that the upcoming Move feature will work very much like the way the current Demolish system works, requiring you to pick up all furnishings and lose private rooms/workshops. My prediction is that the only benefit of the Move feature will be that you won't have to pay for the new plot/housing permit.

I have no evidence for this, I'm just basing it on the way SE has handled all housing features up until now. Who knows, maybe this time they'll surprise us and put in a feature that's convenient and user friendly.

Nah. If you move, your stuff will likely just go to the housing vendor that keeps your stuff from auto relinquish

I dont think Ishgard will be a housing ward... Didnt they say in the live letter that the ishgard will be mansions with like 500 rooms?... So its pretty much a apartment system. Unless they plan to add that sort of thing to all the housing wards.

Now that new housing has been announced, this is more important than ever.

There was suppose to be a "house moving" feature implemented before the new wards in 3.3. However the feature was not mentioned in the last live letter, which makes me a bit worried. Did they ditch the feature?

^ My thread.

Right. this bummed me out too. I have spend ALOT of money on my large house with items i cannot bring with me if i destroy my house or manual move. Took alot of time and it is because they promised us this move function.
And now its no where to be found.

Thanks SE.

It was never promised as a feature that would be added before the new wards coming in 3.3, nor has it been forgotten.

A:Just as I mentioned on a previous occasion, we'll be adding land in Patch 3.3, and we're aiming to have apartment-style housing in Patch 3.4. The moving feature will come after that. As part of our future plans, we'll be making enhancements to our current server structure to support things like housing and expansions to the Armoury Chest.
