How Do Land Sales in Private Regions Work

The mechanics of buying and selling land in a Private Region is very similar to the process used on the Mainland.  However, there are a few key differences that buyers and sellers should take into account when considering making a land transaction in a Private Region.

Similarities

• As the seller, the Private Region owner can split parcels of the region and set them for sale.
• The mechanical act of buying the land remains unchanged.

 Differences

• Parcels in Private Regions are governed by Covenants.  A Covenant is similar to a contract defined by the owner of the Private Region; you must agree to it before buying the land.  It may outline such details as local theme, rental fees, architectural regulations, and rules of behavior in the Private Region.
• If you buy land in a Private Region, it does not count against your Land Use Tier.  However, the owner of the Private Region may charge you a similar fee for continuing use of the land.
• The Private Region owner may evict you from your parcel in a Private Region at any time.  Private Region owners have absolute power over their Estates, and are within their rights to reclaim land as they see fit.  Make sure to read your Region's Covenant closely for terms of use before you buy your parcel.
