Moving servers & refunds

[Mikki]

So it says: If the estate is not converted into a permit before the Home World Transfer, you will lose any gil related to the costs of the estate. Any household items such as building materials, furnishings or outdoor furnishings will also be lost.

Usually, you have to get rid of the estate beforehand so I guess this makes sense. But, in terms of swapping servers? What then? Do I just leave the house as is???

If not, how do you even recover the permit?

Remove the estate hall to get the permit back, but do NOT relinquish the land.

Then move server to get your refund.

Yep! There are 2 steps to the process: Demolish and relinquish.

I ended up just removing everything from the house. I left the house standing and didn't do anything with this "permit". I still got refunded roughly 23mil. (The house cost me about 19mil)
