List of houses that require the least amount of questing?

What homes, not apartments/inns, have the shortest quest chains to be completed before ownership is allowed?

✭✭✭The one in alik'r - hell if I can recall the name, but the house in town (standard house) is really short.
The other one is the one in Craglorn, near Aetherian Archive - it's short also.
I'm sure there are more, but these I remember off the top of my head. Shame the actual names of the homes are nowhere to be found in my head.Edited by Mureel on January 20, 2018 9:18PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭They actually removed the requirement to complete questing achievements before buying a house from all except the 3 huge ones that give titles.
Oh, and the inn rooms of course which require you to speak to a couple of people and go part way into a delve.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Looks to be only three quests I'll think I'll try for it. Thx.

I don't pay for my housing with the Cash Shop. It is a personal choice. I would rather feel proud of what I did in game to accomplish ownership. My real life cash is for paying my real life doctor in the USA where I real life don't have medical insurance because it is to expensive on my real life retired old man's budget. A budget is something you have to do when you don't make the same money as young folks do.

its true actualy, in recent patch small and medium homes no longer have any requirements to buy them. I cannot remember which specific patch, but as proof, here is a screenshot made on my alt account that has no questing achievements to speak of.
as you can also see - dawnshadow, which is a large home - still has quest requirements.
and if you don't trust my words or pictures. all you have to do is go into a medium or smaller home that you do not own. on live. and see for yourself.
edited, sorry about image size, I did no editing, so its well.. not great. you can right click on image and open it in new tab, so that it enlarges and becomes readable.Edited by Linaleah on January 21, 2018 5:00AMdirty worthless casual.

✭✭✭✭✭In Update 16 (Clockwork City), requirements for gold purchase were removed from most homes. Only the Notable and Large homes retain their requirements. This also entailed eliminating the Imperial Edition requirement (but Strident Springs, as a Large home, still retains that requirement).
The reason most people don't know about this change is that it was omitted from the Patch Notes. An oversight, probably. They had also scrapped the old introductory quest for housing--the one where you had to help recover the deed from a skooma dealer--and replaced it with a much simpler introductory quest where you just talk to a NPC.
During the PTS for Update 16, the official housing feedback thread had the following text in the first post:ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »- Was the new quest to obtain your first home clear and enjoyable?
- Small and medium sized homes no longer have achievement requirements to purchase them. Does this make it more appealing to purchase?
So that's ZOS's confirmation of those two changes. It's just that, for whatever reason, they didn't make it into the patch notes even though both changes definitely went live with the CwC patch.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

that explains why I couldn't find confirmation in live patch notes :P but yeah, its a little simpler to buy some of the homes now

Okay thx everyone except please stop trying to force me to "buy with crowns" "buy with crowns" "buy with crowns." You assume I have the same financial position in real life as you do and you assume wrong. I am not subbed. I am not buying crowns. Thx.1 -

It is confusing now because the wiki's and youtube's have not been updated with the new way to get. You will be looking for a wanted poster if I understand correctly. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/377414/quest-room-to-spare#latest
Things to look out for if still having troubles:
1) Go inside a home if on pc (don't know what it is for console) you hit F12 shows some info. If you do not get F12 when inside a home/apt/house then you need to disable your addons for F12 to show up.
2) Turn your quest markers on. Settings > Nameplates > Indicators > Quest Givers so you can see a marker over an npc or parchment attached to the wall inside the bank.

marcjamesSoul ShrivenI have not been able to find an NPC and have seen the bulletin board in a bank once, then it disappeared. Also in the Crown Store, there is a quest starter item, but can't actually "use" it to start the quest.
I am looking for purchasing a house with in game gold. I thought this would be straight forward but my character seems to be stuck in a weird state.
All the NPCs that should be there aren't. Any clues or hints would be appreciated.Raskas - Warden Tank0
