Oblivion Remastered features 13 houses you can buy/earn as a place to call home. These houses give you a place to store and display your loot, and take a break from your quests around Cyrodiil. However, the game doesn’t necessarily make it clear how to buy a house in Oblivion Remastered. While some are purchased from various NPCs across the world, others are earned via quests. We’ll show you all 13 houses, and tell you exactly how to get and upgrade each one!
How to buy a house in Oblivion Remastered
First things first – you can buy most of the houses in Oblivion Remastered right off the bat. As soon as you leave the Imperial City Sewers, the world is your oyster. There’s one problem – money. You don’t have much of it, and you usually need a lot to buy a house in Oblivion Remastered, which can take a while even if you do the item dupe glitch. The good news is that there are some you can get for free. Read on to see each Oblivion Remastered house and how to unlock them!
Arborwatch
- Cost: 20,000 gold
Arborwatch is a fairly large home located in the heart of Chorrol. As long as you have 70+ disposition and 12+ fame with Countess Arriana Valga in Chorrol, you can buy this house from her in Oblivion Remastered.
Battlehorn Castle
- Cost: N/A
Originally part of the Fighter’s Stronghold DLC, Battlehorn Castle is a large home that you get for free by clearing it of marauders. As it can be found west of Chorrol, this is perfect for an early-game home.
Benirus Manor
- Cost: 5,000 gold
You can buy Benirus Manor from Velwyn Benirus in Anvil, although all is not as it seems. The haunted home is unusable until you complete the Where Spirits Have Lease quest and clear it of ghosts.
Bravil House
- Cost: 4,000 gold
The Bravil House is a small wooden shack, which is picked up from Count Regulus Terentius with 50+ disposition in the city. At least its upgrades are cheap.
Bruma House
- Cost: 10,000 gold
Small but cosy, the Bruma House is purchased from Countess Narina Carvains with 60+ disposition. Not my first choice, but functional.
Cheydinhal House
- Cost: 15,000 gold
The Cheydinhal House is a two-story, solid, mid-range house to buy in Oblivion Remastered. You just need 60+ disposition with Count Andel Indarys in Cheydinhal.
Deepscorn Hollow
- Cost: N/A
Deepscorn Hollow is an underground lair you can obtain southeast of Leyawiin. Head there, and it’s yours to keep.
Dunbarrow Cove
- Cost: N/A
Clear Dunbarrow Cove south of Anvil of skeletons, completing its associated quest. When this is done, you’re officially a homeowner.
Frostcrag Spire
- Cost: N/A
Head east of Bruma to find the Frostcrag Spire house in Oblivion Remastered. Once you find it, it’s yours, a Mage’s dream.
Leyawiin House
- Cost: 7,000 gold
The Leyawiin House is a pretty run-down option if you want to buy a house in Oblivion Remastered. If you want, head to Count Marius Caro in the city and get 60+ disposition with him for this one.
Priory of the Nine
- Cost: N/A
Complete the Knights of the Nine questline to get the Priory of the Nine – easy.
Rosethorn Hall
- Cost: 25,000 gold
If you want to buy a house in Oblivion Remastered, Rosethorn Hall is as good as it gets. This Skingrad home is the definition of luxury, and can be purchased from Shum gro-Yarug with 70+ disposition and 15+ fame in the city.
Shack
- Cost: 2,000 gold
Get the waterfront Shack from Vinicia Melissaeia when you have 50+ disposition in the Imperial City. An okay starter house in Oblivion Remastered.
