Buying Homestead from Resident

[RainConner]

There is a rule that in order to buy a homestead from LL you must first own a full region. Does anyone know if this rule still applies if you are buying in an auction or directly from a Resident that is selling? And if this is already answered or explained somewhere, it would be appreciated if it was pointed out. Thank you for your help.

only mainland (not private estate regions/homesteads) can be auctioned on the SL Land Auction website

the FAQ is here:

if you are being offered a homestead by someone else then best to check who actually owns the private estate to which the homestead belongs. You can find the name of the actual estate owner in About Land dialog. Estate owner name should not be confused with the name of  a parcel owner

The transfer of private regions from one owner to another is done through LL. They will check to see if the person buying the region owns at least one full region before doing the transfer.
