Name of House:Vlindrel Hall

Location: North of the entrance of Markarth (City). (Top level over Ogmund's House)

Initial Cost: 8000

Total Cost: 12,200

General
A large home in Markarth (City) consisting of Dwemer architecture. It can be purchased from Raerek in Understone Keep after Jarl Igmund allows you the purchase the property. After you bought the house, Raerek will offer various upgrades for decorating it. It can be upgraded with an Alchemy Lab and an Arcane Enchanter. Inside the house you will also find several display cases for small items, a mannequin for displaying armor (no weapons) and a personal housecarl called Argis the Bulwark.

Possible spoiler below.

Alternatively, if you are on the stormcloaks side, the home can be purchased noticably easier. Simply finish the mission and the jarl will change to Thongvor Silver-Blood, and he will give you permission to purchase property, and become thane. This means you dont have to do the quest to get Jarl Igmund's fathers shield.

Bugs

 * (All platforms) When you sometimes load a save file that was made in Vlindrel Hall (or any other player-owned house), tables, bookshelves and other furniture will have disappeared. All the items that were on tables and in bookshelves will have fallen off. This is fixable by simply re-loading the save file.


 * (PC, PS3) The mannequin is glitched and doesn't show any armor given to it, it just becomes invisible. It will show armor, you just have to add the armor you want on it and an extra piece to remove after to make the armor appear. After exiting, then reentering, the places where you placed the armor on the mannequin may become invisible again.
 * (PC, XBOX, PS3) You are unable to buy the house after completing the quests for the Jarl
 * (PC) Putting a quest weapon (The Reuful Axe) on a plaque causes nearby items to become invisible. It seems to fix itself after a while


 * (XBOX) Weapons put on weapons rack float in the middle of the room.
 * (PS3, other platforms?) Weaons cannot be placed in the weapon racks and plaques.
