Personally if I had to sign over my house, and I knew that the one taking over was an active RPer and/or a friend of mine, I would not charge anything - but if it was just to a random person I would probably ask for a % of the money I spent. It would be neat if Square invented a system that lets you sell houses, even fully decorated, to others. Like real-estate - where what people pay is the price of the lot + an estimation of the interior, where most of the money goes to the owner. Rather than just down the moneysink-drain. I doubt they ever will, but it would be nice. Yeah, I agree here If it was someone I knew who could afford the plot I likely wouldnt have asked for anything extra. Though since a random FC more then happily met our extra few million asking price (3 million on top of the 4 or so million for the plot itself) I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth.
In the Sims games when you create your own houses its a similar system. Either make the house and sell it empty or sell it plus whatever furniture and fixtures that were put into it.
