No support for progression

Personally, I'd like a feature that allowed us to expand our current house, as I am pleased with the location of our current plot. All of the larger plots don't have the same view and conveniences.

Another reason that I do not find "upgrading" to a larger plot that tempting is that I do not like the interior layouts of the larger plots. Some added control for a customized room layout would also be nice (adding additional rooms, moving rooms, expanding the basement, etc). Being able to move the workshop door to another location would be nice too.

I would like this option. And the option to then sell your old plot and get 90% of your gil back from the purchase. That would be very nice. I believe this feature is coming but they are talking about around or after Ishgard.

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.

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.

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.
