Maybe I am wrong, but that would mean instead of a key you'd get some sort of warp scroll or something that works like that. The only issue is I 'don't' want ease storage for gold. If clan houses are similar we'd need to figure something out for that so its not a free gold pass or the clan houses can actually be built in the world anywhere. Dunno yet on that, taking ideas.
Well I was thinking an amulet and only from the city where you decided your house would be. But something else you said made me think of something else I half thought of.
Have a square in each city with a landlord. This will be where you "buy" your home (this square will represent an apartment block). You could go to the landlord of the city where you wanted your home to be and get the house from him/her. The landlord could also give out other information related to the housing. It is also from there you could "warp" to your house. Maybe even by just using a key? Key will warp you to the house it is assigned to. Sb'd to user off course. Could have a message "You walk through the apartment to your room." "You have arrived at your house."
As for the key cutting etc, well whatever. Caveat to the person handing out their keys, your choice; no crying if they give a copy to a person who then loots your house. Tell the police!
I think the houses should come with a cellar that has a giant rat in it.
