    I believe a npc in each Residential Area sells it (the Estate Caretaker from what I remember), and it's an item that allows you to purchase a section of land (called a lot) for a house in a Residential Area. Unfortunately land is a limited resource and vacant lots have since all sold out on most servers (and especially so on Balmung).

    There is a land reclamation function that was added to the game though where if a house's owner (either a FC or a single player) has not used their house in a certain amount of time (about 45 days if I remember right), the house and land is automatically repossessed, the house demolished and the land put up for sale again. Stormblood will apparently be getting a new residential area too for Ishgard so that will increase the availability of houses hopefully.

    You're mixing up the permits for a Cottage (Small) and a House (Medium). Cottage permits are 450k, House permits are 1m, and Mansion permits are 3m if I'm remembering my prices.

    I don't understand why the permit isn't just baked into the price of the plot. I could understand if we had more leeway with construction, but since the permit has to match the size of the plot (you can't build a Small or Medium house on a Large plot, for example) it doesn't make any sense to me to have that extra step.

    With this character's death, the thread of prophecy remains intact.

    This is not how it works, you don't need a permit to buy land. You can buy any lot that available if you have the gil to do it. The permit builds the house on the lot that you buy, otherwise you just buying a empty piece of land.

    I just bought it from AH, i was being rushed and remember something about if you do not build on it, you lose it.

    1 M is the charge from the menu but I bought one from the AH for 400k, well my friend i mean.

    Still like to know why it is so much cheaper on the AH though

    now there is one for 195k where do these things come from >< couldn't find anything online, damnit if only i was not being rushed

    You get them back when you demolish a house, so the people who give up their plot just want to get rid of their build permit. They sell them cheap because there aren't many buyers around.

    Don't worry about the being rushed part. The auto-demolish takes over a month to finish and you only need to build a house in time to enter it before the demolish timer runs out. I think it took me a day or two to buy the permit after spending all my gil on the plot.

    that is the auto though, not the time you have to build on it, if you do not build on it for a set of time, like 1 day or 5 days or something, you lose it

    Actually if I recall correctly they set it where you have a few days or maybe a week to build on the plot you purchased I would need to look it up again to quote it. They did that to prevent people from simply buying and holding empty plots.

    You have plenty of time to build your house, it the same as the reclaim timer you have 45 days to build your house.

    Estates Subject to Demolishing
    Free company housing that has not been accessed by at least one member within forty-five days.
    Private housing that has not been accessed by the owner within forty-five days.
    Purchased plots of land upon which an estate has not been built within forty-five days.
