The other practice going around is to sell the Free Company that owns the house in it's entirety.Â
Beyond Balmung and the trend of selling timing/relinquishment, there is another market of selling FC's entirely.
With an active membership it's easy to leave an alt in charge of an existing FC start a new one and have everyone hop on over. There are pro's, con's, and obvious sentimental reasoning one may be for and against such practices. FC's being started for these reasons are becoming more and more prominent, with many players leveling an alt to 50 just to start an alt FC to boost to rank 8, buy a house and hold for sales. There are also Free Companies doing this now recycling their FC statuses as well getting to Rank 8 then leaving an alt in charge after purchasing a lot/house, starting a new FC and rinsing and repeating the process. They then sell the Rank 8 FC and house to players looking to buy. A strange work around but it does provide solo players with a Rank 8 FC and house which in turn allows for Private Rooms as opposed to the Personal Houses which do not get access to such a feature.
This is less prominent on Balmung to my understanding however it is a practice I've noticed gaining momentum there as well. It is a reddit work around that was put into practise shortly after the second expansion of available plots became a thing.
