Is there delay after demolishing a house?

I want to demolish a house and put a larger plot in that area, I was wondering, after a demolish it, is there a time delay I have to wait till I can place a plot or can I just place a plot as soon as after I demolish my house?

-thanks

99% sure you can place straight away =) Possibly not if you've placed in the last 7 days?

You can place a house while you still have another one (as long as the 7 day timer isn't in effect), so can't see why demolishing would be any different =)

The 7 day delay is if you have received a house in trade.
If you placed the house you can demolish it and place all day long. But there may be a one hour delay between placing...cool down timer if you try to place too often.
If it is a high traffic area you may want to re-size instead of dropping it completely. That will give you a safety net where no one else can place in that spot while you try to make a bigger house.
You will need to store all your stuffs though or it will all end up on the ground.

When you use the resize option does your stuff fall to the ground where it is or does it move to the original house sign area?

When resizing all stuff falls on ground.

I don't understand why you want to demolish and then place. You should resize.

um, where is this 're-size' option in the house options? or is this only available for classic houses to change to custom houses? Sorry, havent played with housing for awhile.

I do have one other question if u dont mind me asking here, can I resize a 14x10 plot to a 16x11 plot? coz a friend of mine is closing an acc and he decided to give me a good spot with the 14x10 plot but i think it can be enlarged to 16x11...but I'm afraid of taking chances with demolishing it then placing again.

Thanks for the ur replies in advance :)

There's no option in the menu, you stand under the house sign and say 'I wish to resize my house' (I think that's the right wording).

Yes you can resize up as you wish, provided the bigger size will fit. Remember anything in the house will fall to the ground. Empty it first. When resizing you have a period of time when the spot is protected and no one else can place in it. I think it's an hour, but I've not checked.

I actually had 18x18, I wanted to demolish and move it a few tiles over to prevent people from placing a plot next to me and blocking the view of my beutiful home with their ugly multi colored ice/lava/water works/wooden/marble box-shaped home. And I did it and it worked, I just wanted to be certain, I just set my worthless junk outside demolished and rebuilt and quicky put the junk back in. I was just concerned had there been a delay, I would had to deal with packing and moving lot of heavy junk for storage.
