Can I transfer a house owner to another shard?

[The Doctor]

Got a friend asking me if he transfers the owner of a house to another shard if it condemns the house? Fairly certain it doesn't but want to know for sure.

Houses are owned by the account, not a character. The only thing the character does is put a name on the house sign at the time it is placed. You can transfer that character or delete it without affecting the house.
