This article is about the entrance to a player's house. For the room where players can build teleportation portals, see Portal Chamber.
POH portal

The POH portal, which is commonly known as the House Portal, is the entrance to a player's house, the main feature of the Construction skill. To use the portal, left-click on the portal and then choose one of the four presented options:

  • Enter your own house (only works if your house is in the same location as the portal)
  • Enter your own house in building mode (only works if your house is in the same location as the portal)
  • Go to another player's house (only works if their house is in the same location as the portal, they are on the same world, they are in their house, and they have private chat set so that you can message them)
  • Take no action

Travelling to house portals

WelcomeMessage

The house loading screen.

The most basic way to get to a house is by walking to the portal that is in the location of the house. At level 40 Magic, players can use the Teleport to House spell to teleport directly into the player's own house. Using a house teleport tablet is another option that only uses one inventory space and does not require a magic level to use. In the house options screen, players can choose whether the house teleports land the player in the house itself or outside the portal. After completion of Love Story, players can use altered house teleport tablets to teleport to any portal regardless of their house location.

House portal locations

Estate agents can move a player's house from its starter location in Rimmington to any of the other house portal locations identified by the portal File:Portalicon.png icon on the map. These locations are Rimmington, Taverley, Pollnivneach, Rellekka, Brimhaven, and Yanille. Each location requires a certain Construction level, and the estate agent charges a fee for each move. The details are shown in the table below.

Location advantages and disadvantages

There are several advantages and disadvantages to each house portal location. Here is a complete evaluation of each portal location to help players decide which location is most useful. Note that houses can be moved at any time provided you have the correct Construction level and pay the Estate agent.
