Well met friends !
My players start wandering how many cost a house in Waterdeep ? For now, they're searching for a house or a building's floor to buy. (they wanted a 3 rooms' house).
They are read to buy or to rent it, but I have no idea of prices here. The property tax and the tax paid on residence must be horfull !
I know THE response for the prices is "when you, DM, judged it's the right price for them to have it" but if some of you could have some prices' ideas, it would be great help.

Thanks Wooly (and thanks Steven) for this list ! I hadn't seen this topic.
Based on these prices et "typical houses", how many an inhabitant would ask to RENT a floor of a building A, B, C and D ? |

This is just me, but I'd charge anywhere from .5% to 1% of the price of the space, as monthly rent. That's based mostly on my mortgage; obviously, location would affect this to perhaps as much as 3%-5% of the price of the space, for the better neighborhoods. |

Class A: The Palace, Castle Waterdeep, other public structures (e.g. the Arena), Major Temples (including The Plinth), Noble Villas. These buildings are unique, generally large and grand.
Class B: Grand Houses (without grounds or walled gardens; villas always have such), Large Warehouses, prosperous businesses, Guildhalls. Buildings in this class have up to four storeys, and may have extensive cellars (usually connected to the sewers at some point). Most inns in the City fall into this class.
Class C: Row Buildings. This class describes the great majority of City buildings, of two or three storeys, and usually having shops on the ground floor, with offices above and apartments above that (or just apartments). This class includes most of the taverns and rooming houses in the City.
Class D: Lesser Buildings (hovels, sheds, small warehouses). This class consists of one-storey buildings, usually of wood, and are mainly found in Dock Ward, with a few in Southern Ward and The Trades Ward, and a handful in the part of the docks which lies in Castle Ward. |
