How to Buy the Whiterun House in Skyrim?
The simplest way to get Breezehome is by completing the quest “Bleak Falls Barrow.” This quest immediately comes after “Before the Storm.” The “Bleak Falls Barrow” quest can be obtained from You can easily locate Farengar Secret-Fire at Dragonsreach by simply following the path from the main gate leading up to the cloud district until you reach a long stairway with a set of doors at the top.
Travel to Bleak Falls Barrow in the area south of Whiterun and west of Riverwood once you’ve completed the quest. At the top of the stairs is Bleak Falls Barrow’s entrance, which is guarded by low-level thieves.
Head deeper inside the ruin & you will come across a group of pillars which you will need to set to “snake,” “snake,” “whale,” and this will let you pull the lever and continue. Arvel the Swift will then appear further down, imprisoned in a web. The best time to kill him to get the Golden Claw is right after you set him free by hitting the spiderweb. If you don’t, you might have to chase him down.
Once you have the Golden Claw, you can zoom in on it in your inventory to see the proper placement of the rings. Once it is, enter the spacious, open cavern, where you will find the Word Wall that will grant you Unrelenting Shout and allow you to defeat the Draugr Overlord.
After completing the quest, head back to Dragonsreach & speak with Jarl Balgruuf. He will let you know that a home is now available for you to purchase & points you toward Proventus Avenicci who will sell it to you for 5000 gold along with furniture and decorations delivered to your house automatically.
You will be given the key to Breezehome, which is located next to Warmaiden’s by the Whiterun gate and right beside it.
How to Buy a House in Whiterun After the Stormcloaks?
Several changes occur after the Stormcloaks conquer Whiterun. Balgruuf the Greater’s replacement by Vignar Gray-Mane as Jarl and Proventus Avenicci with Brill as Steward represents the most significant change with regard to purchasing a home. Breezehome will now be sold to you by Brill.
While purchasing Breezehome, there are a few bugs and problems related to this path. For instance, picking the “Buy a House” option from Your game might crash if you use Brill in some circumstances. There isn’t a known fix as of yet. Simply relaunch Skyrim and try again.
During the “Battle for Whiterun,” you may find Brill naked and dead in the street resulting in Breezehome unavailable for purchase since there will be no steward to buy it from. There are two fixes for PC via the console commands.
The first solution is to hover over Brill’s body, select him, hit the console key on your keyboard (~), type in “resurrect” excluding the quotations, & hit enter and Brill should be alive again. The second solution would be to reopen the console (~) type in “player.placeatme 0001A6A2” excluding the quotations and an alive Brill will appear next to the player.
Proventus Avenicci will reclaim his position as steward following the Stormcloaks’ conquest of Whiterun if Brill was killed or discovered dead prior to the Battle of Whiterun.
After you have bought Breezehome from Brill, it is possible that he won’t give you the option to decorate. The remedy for this is to either kill him and purchase the upgrades from Proventus Avenicci, who has moved to the Blue Palace Basement is Solitude, while he is still in the throne room, or attempt to speak to him while he is there.
Skyrim’s Free House in Whiterun
Once the wardrobe has been opened, stuff it with all the gold that had been set aside for purchasing the Skyrim home.

Players can gain access to their new home in Whiterun for nothing once they have successfully used this exploit.
