How to Buy a Cheap House in Oblivion Remastered
Introduction
Looking for a cheap and reliable spot to call your own in Oblivion Remastered? Getting your first house doesn't have to drain your gold reserves. In this guide, I'll walk you through buying a house in the Imperial City without breaking the bank, how to find it easily, and tips for upgrading it without spending a fortune. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this is everything you need to know to grab yourself a solid home base early in the game.
How to Find and Buy Your First House in the Imperial City
If you’re ready to claim a home, head straight to the Market District in the Imperial City. Look for a building called the Office of Imperial Commerce. It might take a minute to find it the first time, so just be patient and check your map if needed.
Once inside, track down Venicia Melissaeia. She’s the one handling property sales. You’ll need 2,000 gold to make the purchase, so make sure you have enough saved up before making the trip.
Important Tip:
Depending on your character’s skills, you might have to persuade Venicia a little to get her to sell you the house. Sometimes it’s simple, other times you’ll need to work your charm. Either way, it’s nothing too complicated if you come prepared.
Why This House Is Worth It
Sure, the house you’re buying isn’t exactly a luxury estate. It’s small and pretty bare when you first walk in—expect just a basic table and a bed. But here’s why it’s totally worth it:
-
It’s Cheap: 2,000 gold is a steal compared to other options.
-
Safe Storage: Once upgraded, you’ll have a secure place to stash your loot.
-
Fast Access: The house is near the Waterfront District, making travel super easy.
Even though it’s tiny at first, with a few upgrades it becomes a really useful home base.
How to Upgrade Your House for Less
When you first buy the house, it doesn’t come with much. To really make it functional, you’ll need to add some upgrades. Here are your options:
-
Buy the Upgrades: Visit the Three Brothers Trade Goods store in the Market District. They sell all the upgrades for your home.
-
Steal the Upgrades: If you're feeling bold (and sneaky), you can steal the upgrades from shops or other locations around the city. Be careful though, because getting caught will land you a bounty.
Pro Tip:
If you go the stealing route, you could save around 1,200 gold, which is a huge discount. Just make sure to quick-save often to avoid getting caught!
Must-Have Upgrade: Storage Space
The biggest priority is adding storage to the house. Right now, there’s nowhere safe to leave your items. Without the upgrade, it’s just a bed and a table, which isn't ideal for holding onto rare loot or valuable gear.
Once you have storage, your house turns from a sad little shack into a really handy place where you can:
-
Safely store weapons and armor
-
Keep crafting ingredients organized
-
Unload heavy items and lighten your carry weight
Honestly, it’s one of the best investments you can make early in the game.
Final Thoughts
Getting a house early in Oblivion Remastered makes life a lot easier. Even though the Waterfront house isn’t glamorous, it’s a smart purchase that sets you up for success. Spend the 2,000 gold, grab the upgrades (or steal them if you’re daring), and enjoy having your own little base to build from.
