It costs 8000 Gold at first but furnishings are required to remove the ugly cobwebs and the rotting furniture that are there when the Dragonborn first purchases it. Vlindrel Hall has been built in the Dwemer architectural style. The house has a golden door and the entire structure is built into mountain cliff. From the golden door there is a good view of Markarth. Outside of the house are stone stairs that take you from Markarth to Vlindrel Hall and vice versa. The house has a large interior including an entrance hall and many places to store items.

Requirements:

Like with all houses in Skyrim you must do some form of quest to build up the Dragonborn's reputation with the Jarl and his people in order to purchase Vlindrel Hall. There are three ways to do this. Firstly the player could complete the quest 'Liberation of Skyrim. Another option is that the Dragonborn negotiates the exchange of Markarth during the quest 'Season Unending'. When a new Jarl is chosen they will be more open to selling the house. The final option for getting Vlindrel Hall is where the Dragonborn talks to Jarl Igmund and he will ask you to do two things. Firstly to kill the leader of a Forsworn group, and secondly, to find Hrolfdir's Shield. The player will also need to assist five people in the reach to build up a good reputation. Vlindrel Hall costs 8000 gold upfront however it is a good idea to purchase the furnishings. Without these upgrades the house will be filled with cobwebs, old boxes and unused, broken furniture. Purchasing Vlindrel Hall and all of the furnishings costs 12200 gold.

Furnishings:
• Entrance Hall: 500 Gold
• Bedroom: 800 Gold

Description:

Hjerim is one of the biggest or perhaps even the biggest house in Skyrim. It is a two storey house located in Windhelm next to other large buildings. It looks very nice both on the outside and on the inside. From the outside it looks like a mansion and the inside looks the same. Hjerim has many large, spacious rooms including an armoury and an enchanting lab. When you first purchase the house (it is recommended that you purchase the house after you complete 'Blood on Ice' as there is a major bug) there will be blood from the Butcher's murders. A fee of 500 gold is required to remove this. In summary, Hjerim is a massive, two storey house with many spacious rooms. The only bad thing is that the light inside is dim and the price is high but everything else is brilliant.

Requirements:

In order to purchase Hjerim the Dragonborn must complete the quest 'Rescue From Fort Neugrad' or he or she must complete the full Civil War quest line for the Imperials. The house costs 12000 gold upfront. However, if the player wishes to purchases all of the furnishings including the cleanup of the murderer's (the Butcher) mess as well as the house the cost will rise to 21000 gold. Hjerim can be bought from the Jarl of Windhelm's steward who's name is Jorleif but only if the Dragonborn joins the Stormcloaks. If the player chooses to join the Imperials the entire Civil War quest line will need to be completed. It then can be purchased from the stweard.

• Living Room: 1500 Gold
• Alchemy Lab: 1500 Gold

Description:

Proudspire Manor is located in the east of Solitude next to the Bards College and Vittoria Vici's House. The outside of the three storey house is very nice and includes pickable flowers that will regrow after a certain amount in game weeks. Also the inside has brilliant lighting. When first purchased, the manor is cobweb stricken however when the furnishings are applied the house becomes very luxurious. Proudspire Manor is one of the only houses where you don't have to replace another room with the children's room. Instead the house can have both. As well as all this, since the house is located in Solitude the player has easy access to many good shops. Overall Proudspire Manor is a large, luxurious and spacious three storey house with a patio that allows the Dragonborn to have a view of the water. Many say it is the nicest view in all of Skyrim.

Requirements:

To purchase Proudspire Manor the Dragonborn must do and have multiple things. Like a large pocket with a lot of gold for example as the manor is the most expensive house in Skyrim. It costs 25000 gold by itself but the price of the house and all of its furnishings is 39000 gold. The player must complete two quests. Firstly, 'The Man Who Cried Wolf' and secondly 'Elisif's Tribute'. After the Dragonborn has completed both of the quests Elisif will allow him or her to purchase Proudspire Manor Falk Firebeard. Note, if the player wishes to become Thane of Haafingar all they will need to do after buying the house is to help five citizens.
