Buy House In Oblivion
A house is a building in which one or more people live. The player can own one house in each of the major cities (except Kvatch), for a total of eight houses. Player-bought houses allow room to store equipment and collectables, to sleep, and to generally relax after adventuring through Cyrodiil. This Site Might Help You. RE: What is the best house to buy in the game Oblivion? I'm wondering, in your opinion, in the xbox360 game Oblivion- which town is the best to buy a house in?

Im finally getting into oblivion ane i wanted to buy a house in bruma but im not completely sure how to go about doing so. Is the house for sale in bruma a good choice or are there better ones? Im not very far into the game i should mention. Im currently trying to aquire a daedric aritcact for martin.
My first thought was to speak to someone of importance so i spoke to the countess. She told me She didn't trust me so i maxed out her disposition and still nothing. Im assuming theres a quest or task i should do for her first but im just not really sure.
Its probably a good idea if i also ask how much it is to buy a house and maybe a good way to make some gold.

About Houses: In Oblivion, you are able to buy 1 house in each city. These houses vary in quality and obviously in price. After the purchase of a house, you will be able to furnish it unless otherwise told below. To furnish a house you visit the shopkeeper listed and browse his or her misc section. If you are having trouble finding the shopkeeper, there is a new quest listed mentioning furnishing your house, merely select it as your active quest to activate a marker pointing to the shopkeeper. In the books/scrolls/paper section under misc you will several pieces of paper with room names on them such as Bedroom and Dining Room. When you purchase one of these papers for about 1800 at a moderate mercantile skill, the correlating section of your house will be stocked with items that fit with that sections theme, such as a Storage paper would yield chests, crates, and other storage containers. Houses also provide the benefit of somewhere safe to store your goods. Anything you store in a house you own will not be stolen or taken if it is a stolen item by the guards. The bed is also free to use. On top of that, you may own more than one house. City: Anvil
Location: The rundown manor in the northeast corner of town.
Requirements: Meet Velwyn Benirus at The Count's Arms at any time during the afternoon. 5,000 Gold.
Quests: 'Where Spirits Have Lease' - When you first sleep in this house, you'll awaken to find 3 hostile ghosts attacking you. After the three ghosts are defeated, go downstairs and pick up a piece of paper and the skeleton hand next to it. After this you'll need to track down the former owner who left town. Talk to the owner of The Count's Arms to get a marker placed of Benirus. Once you find Benirus, convince him to come back to the manor to lift the curse. He says he'll meet you at The Count's Arms. Unless you follow him all the way from the Imperial City, it'll take days for him to arrive, so work on other quests for awhile or just wait it out. Once he arrives you'll head over to the mansion with him to lift the curse. When you enter the mansion you find it populated with ghosts everywhere, they respawn quickly so no time to rest, bring potions. Best thing to do is run through the ghosts to the symbol in the basement and wait there until Benirus catches up. Once he touchs the symbol on the wall, the ghosts will dissapear. Oddly enough Benirus also 'magically' dissapears back to the bar, leaving you to loot the dungeon for valuables. Inside the room, touch the altar to begin a lengthy speech of lies. Touch it yet again for the truth and the revival of the necromancer. Attack him quickly as he will summon leveled undead creatures to his side. After his defeat, take his valuables and search the area. After being out of Anvil for abit and returning to your mansion, you'll find it well furnished.

- In the top floor bedroom near the stairs is a note. This can be tricky to get to for low level acrobats. When you get the note it will have a riddle on it, and it mentions hidden treasure in the house. The answer to the riddle is an hourglass, and the treasure is in an hour glass near the pillar with the garlic hanging from it in your house. Inside the hourglass is a bunch of flawless gems and the Ring of the Gray, a great item for thieves.
