How do we abandon a house or player house?

[Soxittome]

I got one from doing a quest and also didn't want to buy one and not be able to abandon it. Was wondering. I am still new so I don't know much.

[The Tear Collector]

I think you can't.

[Soxittome]

Can't abandon any bought house? I know the quest one from looking around the web, you couldn't.

[Echsrick]

what to you mean whit abandon house? you can have as many house you want

[Soxittome]

Just if you don't want a house or like the location and want to get rid of it. You give it up or Abandon/Leave the house and someone else can come along and buy it up.

There's no need to abandon the house. Just don't use it.

How to abandon a house. Don't ever go there again.
Abandon equals leaving and never coming back.

you don't have to pay taxes or upkeep and it does not take up any room in your account (no penalty). You are not required to "fix them up"

You are not the only one to own that house(s). It is common for me to walk out of one of my houses and run into another player either going in or coming out. They are just a different instance when we are in the house, thus the long loading screen.

On the Plus side it gives you a place to free travel to.
Also if you create a new toon you can use that house to travel to that zone, if your not already in that zone of course. i.e. A'likr dessert zone.

just to be clear you dont remove the house from other players everyone can own the same house and they will not see the other players

You can even visit other players' houses. The primary houses of your guildies, friends and group members can act as free teleports for you and help you unlock a zone you haven't been to yet. You just need to know who has which house as their primary. The only condition is that their primary house is set to be accessible to visitors.

If you are on PC, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Essential Housing Tools add-on, which allows you to teleport to any house owned by any player also using that add-on. There is also a network of Open Houses, that is showcases of other players, usually nicely decorated houses, often using the additional effects and furniture items added by the EHT add-on.

Thanks for the helpful information.

Even if you have no need for a house, it can still be useful. You can warp to a house for free from anywhere. Like you can to a Wayshrine and pay a fee, but warping to a house is free.

...When you teleport from Wayshrine to Wayshrine there is no cost.

And? They're talking about when you're not using a wayshrine. Sometimes it's faster and cheaper to teleport to a house than to walk all the way to a wayshrine or pay to travel to a wayshrine.

And? Just making sure that there wasn't any misinformation being spread around.
