I feel that its time to make a small guide about housing commandos, for example house invites to all players and consignment merchant listing.
There might be other similar guides, but see this as a new notification.
Lots of houses that I've tried to enter, doesn't allow me to. I understand that some people don't want people to enter, but some might not even know how to, or doesn't care to ask, how to invite. Thats the main reason why i made this guide. Anyway..

.....
I'll start of with how to invite all players to your house and allow them to use your teleport merchant.

First of all, Enter your house and write the following commando:
/housefriend all

now a new type will add to your access list called "Everyone"

1.Open the "House Internal Option", [shift-key + rightmousebutton click]

2.Press the Friends button and choose a friend level, for example, Guest for the type "everyone", press Accept, and then cancel to close the Friends window.

3.Press the access button, change friend level to the type you've chosen, in this case, Guest.

4.Set the accessabilities to what you want the guest to be allowed to do in your house. Note that the Entry and Merchant access must be checked to allow people to enter and port from your house.
Common accessabilities are: Tools, Merchants, Entry, Use Bind stones and pay rent ^^. Press accept, and cancel to close.

Now all players will be able to enter your house and use the teleporter, it goes fast and is a nice service for people that might just have bought something from your CM to port back to what they planning to do next.

....
Something that many new player forget when they buy a house, is to link their merchant to the Market explorer list. To do so write the commando: /Listmerchant
If all went well you will be noticed by the message "Adding your mechant's listing to the consignment search engine." If you want to remove your CM from the list, simply type the commando again.

....
Some useful commandos in the housezone:

/Houseloc xxxx, for example /Houseloc 2546 will show
Owner: Namefake, Zone: Frisia, and X and Y locations.

/Houseface xxxx, if you found something intressting on the Market explorer and would like to find the house you are heading to fast, Buy a zone portal token from the merchants standing next to the market explorers, if the house is settled in a diffrent zone than you currently are in. Run to the nearest house and give the token to a consignment merchant, and he will port you to the zone. Here we get use of the commando, /Houseface xxxx(housenumber) and your character will face the house. Then simply run straight ahead.

Pay rent with bountypoints:
Enter the house, write /bountyrent personal xxx <- amount of bountypoints u want to spend.
1 bountypoint = 1 gold in this case.

This is the end of this small guide.

Hope some of your find it useful, might add more later.

sweet guide m8, just wish everyone would set all as guest/visitor so i can port back to my house instead of getting the "You cannot enter this house" message.

But unrelated but you seem to know your stuff...

... I left the game for a few months and on returning I've lost my house. I got the items from my housevault/consignment merchant back, but is there anyway to get my house back? :(

Cheers

No you gonna have to buy a new house, as the lot became vacant again and might be taken by someone else now.

As previous poster said, unfortunatelly not. I've lost 1 house too with all decorations and tool's. You need to buy new stuffs, only the vault items is saved. The items you had on your consignment merchant is also saved, but in order to receive them back, you need to buy a new house, porch and CM.

Wrong. You get both vaulted items AND CM items back by using the correct NPC in Caerwent/Meath etc. There are a bunch of npc's for guild vaults, some for personal vaults and one for CM. :) Not trying to be arrogant here, just to save people for some cash incase they don't want a new house, just their items!

But if you had a full housevault and pretty full CM... how it works then? coz even with an empty inventory you can't get it all on your char... Or can you visit with more chars of the owner account till you have everything back?

The items stored in the market area are bound for the previous house owner, just checked with an acc-alt and im not able to retrieve anything with him.
So either keep have it there or trade it with someone and to another alt and store it in vault bankers.
