Considering how much housing costs, small or new FC's (Rp or otherwise) will simply not be able to compare to the giant, faceless FC's out there.
Why would the average player want to save up for conceivably months with his dozen or so FC mates to buy a house when when they can just join an existing FC with 150-350 members already? The difference in money raising potential is way too unbalanced.
This is going to promote less and less new growth for FC's not associated with pre-existing groups. Bad show.
Not much you can do about that, regardless. Large, faceless guilds will always exist when there is a system in place that rewards guild members based on participation and overall activity.
I wouldn't be too worried about it, though. The players who want to earn a house for their Free Company are going to do just that. The value comes not simply from having the house, but from having the house for you and your guild mates alone.Â
I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I'd never devote a minute of precious time donating Gil to buy a house for random people I don't know, nor would I get anything from using a guild house populated with said individuals.
