The house portal, commonly referred to as a POH portal, is the entrance to a player-owned house (POH), the main feature of the Construction skill. House Advertisements are also found next to these portals, in which players can check whether advertised houses contain frequently used features.

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 and they have private chat set so that you can message them)
Take no action

Travelling to house portals

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. The Construction cape provides unlimited teleports to the player's own house and to all the house portals regardless of 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 icon on the map. These locations are Rimmington, Taverley, Pollnivneach, Hosidius, Rellekka, Aldarin, Brimhaven, Yanille, and Prifddinas. Each location requires a certain Construction level (not boostable), and the estate agent charges a fee for each move. The details are shown in the table below.

^ You must visit Great Kourend before you can select this option.
^ You must visit Varlamore before you can select this option.
^ Requires completion of Song of the Elves.

Moving your house and entering them from the Hosidius and Yanille portals are also tasks in the Easy Kourend & Kebos and Hard Ardougne Achievement Diaries. Ironman Mode players will also have a Medium Desert task to enter their house from the Pollnivneach portal; the same task for non-Ironmen is to teleport to Pollnivneach with a redirected Teleport to house (tablet).

Additional house location info

Location	Advantages	Skills & Resources	Disadvantages
Rimmington	Close to Port Sarim, Crafting Guild and Pest Control. Quick access to Ardougne and Brimhaven at the cost of 30 gp, or free if wearing Ring of Charos (a). Close to Phials, who can unnote items, notably bones for Prayer training. Bank is not far away via boat to Corsair Cove, ~75 tiles (requires completion of The Corsair Curse).	Construction On official house party worlds you can use other people's altars (and anything else in their houses) through the house advertisement. Rimmington is the most popular house location for house hosting. Cooking There are 15 cabbage and onion spawns to the north. Farming There is a bush patch right next to the house portal. Mining The nearby mine has 2 clay, 2 gold, 6 iron, 5 copper, and 2 tin rocks. Prayer Best location for a gilded altar, since the nearby Rimmington General Store has Phials who can unnote your bones. Woodcutting There are 4 yew trees just west of the portal. Willow trees can be found just south of Rimmington. Oak trees and normal trees can be found in every direction.	Very far from a bank if the Corsair Curse is not completed. The second closest bank is at the Crafting Guild, ~80 tiles, but requires either the completion of the Falador Hard Diary or 99 Crafting to use. The third closest bank is in Ardougne (~95 tiles), but the boat ride there costs either 30 gp or you must wear a Ring of Charos (a). The fourth and fifth closest banks in Falador and Draynor Village are ~150 tiles away. All resources found in and around Rimmington are low to mid level and far from the most efficient spots to train or gather supplies, making this location obsolete very quickly for anything other than Prayer training and house party hosting.
Taverley	Close to the Heroes' Guild for quick amulet of glory recharging. Closest POH access to the Keldagrim mine cart system via White Wolf Tunnel to the north (requires completion of Fishing Contest). Closest POH access to the Hot Air Balloon transport system to the south-east (requires completion of Enlightened Journey). Taverley Dungeon is located nearby to the south-east. Prayer can quickly be restored using the Stone circle to the north-east, if the player has not yet built an Altar in their POH.	Combat Taverley Dungeon is located nearby to the south-east. Prayer can quickly be restored using the Stone circle to the north-east, if the player has not yet built an Altar in their POH. Farming Close to Taverley tree patch to the east. Herblore Vials and eyes of newt available in Jatix's Herblore Shop. Slayer Taverley is the closest POH to a Slayer Master. Unfortunately, this Slayer Master is Turael (or Aya, if While Guthix Sleeps is completed), the lowest level Slayer Master. Completing their tasks gives no Slayer reward points, making them only useful for replacing your current slayer task should you find it too difficult. Note this will also reset your task streak. Woodcutting Evergreen trees can be found north and west of the portal. Willow trees can be found to the south-east near The Lady of the Lake. Oak trees can be found to the north-east near the Stone circle.	Nearest bank is the Rogues' Den (~120 tiles). The most useful aspect of a POH in Taverley is the ability to quickly recharge one's amulet of glory, but this becomes redundant after building a mounted Amulet of Glory in one's POH at level 47 Construction. Using your POH to get to Taverley becomes somewhat obsolete after building a basic jewellery box at 81 Construction, which gives infinite teleports to Burthorpe to the north. Like Rimmington, all resources found in and around Taverley are low to mid level and can be more efficiently accessed elsewhere.
Pollnivneach	Fastest Ancient Magicks access for Ironmen who do not have a Pharaoh's sceptre or an Ancient altar in their POH. This is the only POH located in the desert. Quick access to two magic carpet stations nearby to Shantay Pass, Nardah, Sophanem, and Menaphos. Close to the Smoke Dungeon.	Agility The town has a rooftop agility course for those with 70+ Agility. Combat The Smoke Dungeon is located on the other side of Pollivneach. Thieving Pollivneach is the only location in the game where blackjacking is possible.	Ancient Magicks can be swapped to in your POH at 80 Construction after building an Ancient altar in your Achievement gallery, bypassing the need to actually place your POH in Pollivneach. Non-ironmen can alternatively use other players' POHs on House Party worlds to avoid going to the desert to change spellbooks. The closest bank is in Nardah or the Shantay Pass, both ~120 tiles away.
Hosidius	Crabclaw Isle is to the south-east of the portal past the mine. Close to Forthos Dungeon and Sarachnis to the west. Close to the Woodcutting Guild to the south-west. Close to Hosidius Kitchen to the north-west. Close to the Tithe Farm minigame to the south-east. Close to the Vinery to the north-east. Third closest POH to a Fairy Ring (AKR) at ~90 tiles. Relatively close to two banks: to the east in the Vinery ~85 tiles, and to the north in Hosidius ~90 tiles. Prayer can be restored at two different altars to the north and south, if the player has not yet built an altar in their POH. Windmill, dairy churn, and loom north of the portal. Generally close to a variety of reliable or efficient training methods, most notably for Farming and Cooking.	Combat Sand Crabs spawn along the beach to the south. In addition to Sarachnis, Forthos Dungeon contains red dragons. Construction Close to Barbara, a potential client in the Mahogany Homes minigame. Close to Woodcutting Guild, where one can turn logs into planks. Cooking The ranges at Hosidius Kitchen have the lowest burn rate of any location in the game after completion of the Easy Kourend & Kebos Diary. Onion, potato, cabbage, and grain spawns are north of the portal. Farming Tithe Farm and the Vinery are very close to the farming patches north of the portal. Allotment, flower and herb patch to the north. (With completion of the Easy Kourend & Kebos Diary it will be permanently protected from disease). Thieving The Fruit Stall is north-east of the portal. Master Farmers also live further north in the city and can be pickpocketed for seeds. Woodcutting Two magic trees can be found to the north. Juniper trees can be found to the west. Oak, dead, and normal trees can be found all around the portal.	Infinite teleports to this area can be unlocked after building a Mounted xeric's talisman at 72 Construction via the Xeric's Glade teleport, bypassing the need to actually place your POH in Hosidius. Infinite teleports to the Woodcutting Guild can be unlocked after building a Fancy jewellery box at 86 Construction.
Rellekka	Close access to Lunar Isle, Jatizso, Neitiznot, Waterbirth Island, Ungael and Miscellania via the docks. Close to the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon to the east and Keldagrim to the north-east. Close to Rellekka Marketplace and a dairy churn. One of the only towns with both an anvil and furnace. Close to a pottery oven and potter's wheel. The enchanted lyre(i) and Fremennik sea boots 4 offer unlimited teleports to Rellekka, while an achievement diary cape offers unlimited teleports to Thorodin, both are very close to the house portal functioning as budget Construct. capes.	Agility The town has a rooftop agility course for those with 80+ Agility. Combat Rellekka is the closest POH to bosses like the Dagannoth Kings and Vorkath, and is often helpful for Slayer training due to its proximity to the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon. Crafting One can fully produce molten glass and pottery without ever leaving Rellekka's borders. The shore has many seaweed respawns for making molten glass. There is also a sand pit in the north of the city. The mine in the north-east of the city contains clay, and there is a well east of the longhouse. There is a spinning wheel in the south-west of the city. Fletching Flax, found just west of the portal, can be spun into bow strings and the trees outside Rellekka can be chopped and fletched into bows. Mining The mine in the north-east of the city contains 4 clay, 3 silver, and 7 coal rocks. Smithing Rellekka has both a furnace and an anvil. Players often use Jatizso's mine, which is full of mithril, adamantite, and coal rocks in conjunction with this. Woodcutting Oak, dead, and normal trees can be found all around the portal. Maple trees can be found further south past the bridge.	The Lunar spellbook can be swapped to in your POH at 80 Construction after construction of a Lunar altar in an Achievement gallery, bypassing the need to actually go to Lunar Isle via Rellekka. Alternatively, a Lunar Isle Portal can be built in a Portal chamber, requiring 50 Construction and 69 Magic, which is much faster than running from the house portal to the dock. Non-ironmen can alternatively use other players' POHs on House Party worlds to avoid going to Rellekka and then Lunar Isle to change spellbooks. You will need many house teleport tablets to use Rellekka effectively, as there is no bank in town. The closest bank is in Jatizso ~125 tiles away and requires completion of The Fremennik Trials. The next closest non-quest locked bank is in Seers' Village ~170 tiles away.
Aldarin	Closest portal to a charter ship and the Quetzal Transport System. Close to Mastering Mixology. Close to a bank (~55 tiles). Closest POH to a Fermenting Vat. Second closest POH to a fairy ring (CKQ) at ~75 tiles. Partial completion of Fairytale II - Cure a Queen is required to use the fairy rings.	Combat Close to Moonrise Wines, where players can purchase Ixcoztic white or Chichilihui rosé for only 100 coins, both of which heal 16 Hitpoints. Cooking Close to Faustus' Fruit and Veg, which is the only shop other than the Culinaromancer's Chest to stock grapes. Crafting Close to Toci's Gem Store, which has the highest stock of sapphires, emeralds, and rubies of any gem shop outside Mor Ul Rek, making this an excellent place for Ironmen to obtain gems. Farming There is a Hops patch next to the fairy ring. Herblore Mastering Mixology, the only Herblore-focused minigame, is Aldarin's main attraction. Thieving Nearby villas contain chests that are a good source of medium clue scrolls. Woodcutting There are 27 maple trees and 2 yew trees south of the bank.	Can teleport close to the portal via the pendant of ates after completion of Death on the Isle, bypassing the need to actually place your POH in Aldarin. This can still be advantageous if the player does not have 40 Magic for Teleport to House.
Brimhaven	This is the only POH on Karamja. Close to the Shilo Village cart. Second closest POH to a Charter ship. Brimhaven Dungeon is to the south-west. Brimhaven Agility Arena is to the north-east.	Agility Brimhaven Agility Arena is to the north-east. Combat Brimhaven Dungeon is to the south-west. Farming There is a fruit tree patch to the north and a calquat tree patch to the south-east. Pineapple plants grow wild nearby, if the player forgot their payment for papaya trees. Mining There are several gold rocks to the south-west and north-west. Slayer Using the cart system to go to Shilo Village is the fastest way to speak to Duradel, the highest level Slayer Master, if the player does not have 67 Magic and Lunar Diplomacy completed for Astral Contact. He may assign tasks completable in Brimhaven Dungeon.	Generally few resources. Requires at least 30 coins to enter or leave the area unless you use house teleports, gnome gliders, Karamja gloves, or the Ring of Charos (a). Most of the other attractions (Cart, Brimhaven Dungeon, and Brimhaven Agility Arena) all cost additional coins to use or enter.
Yanille	Closest POH to a fairy ring (CIQ) at ~55 tiles. Partial completion of Fairytale II - Cure a Queen is required to use the fairy rings. Close to Castle Wars, Fishing Trawler, and Nightmare Zone. Their grouping teleports can be used to teleport close to Yanille if the player lacks 40 Magic for Teleport to House or 58 Magic for Watchtower Teleport. Close to Bert. After The Hand in the Sand, players can claim 84 buckets of sand from him, once daily. This may prove especially useful for Ironman accounts. Close to the Wizards' Guild, which requires 66 Magic to enter. The Wizards' Guild has a store which sells Soul and Blood runes at a lower price and buys them at a higher price than any other magic store in the game. It is unlocked after completion of The Hand in the Sand. The Wizards' Guild contains 3 one-way portals on the second floor, which lead to the Sorcerer's Tower, Dark Wizards' Tower, and Wizards' Tower. The Wizards' Guild contains Wizard Distentor, who can teleport you to the Rune essence mine after completion of Rune Mysteries. Distentor is the closest rune essence access to a bank. Bank ~70 tiles away to the east. Closest POH to a Hunter shop.	Combat Nightmare Zone is a popular AFK method for training Melee. There are many ogres to the west which players often train Ranged with a Dwarf multicannon. Cooking Frenita's Cookery Shop stocks everything needed to make apple pies except Yanille lacks a windmill to grind grain. Farming There is a Hops patch to the east. Hunter There are no Hunter activities within Yanille itself, but Aleck's Hunter Emporium sells a variety of Hunter gear. Prayer Yanille is uncommonly used for Prayer training as it was historically the closest POH to a bank. However, the addition of Phials in Rimmington has since made this obsolete.	Takes a long time to reach this location without teleports.
Prifddinas	Players can set their respawn point to Prifddinas. Closest POH to a bank, ~40 tiles. Close to the spirit tree network, helpful if the player does not have a Spirit tree planted in their POH (requires 75 Construction and 83 Farming). Close to Zalcano and The Gauntlet. Close to Eluned and Ilfeen, who recharge Crystal equipment and Teleport crystals. Close to Iorwerth Dungeon. Third closest POH to charter ships. The city is also home to several means of training mid to high-level skills, many of which can provide crystal shards.	Agility The city has an agility course for those with 75+ Agility. Construction On the far east side of the city is a Sawmill Operator where one can turn logs into planks. Crafting A singing bowl can be found just south of the house portal. There is also a tanner, loom, spinning wheel, and the closest sand pit to a bank in the game. Farming Access to two allotment patches, a flower patch, and the crystal tree patch to the north-east. Herblore A nearby shop sells vials of water and eyes of newt. Hunter Directly north of Prifddinas is a carnivorous chinchompa hunting area. Mining The nearby Trahaearn mine can be accessed, where soft clay can be mined without a bracelet of clay and has several adamantite and runite rocks. Slayer Iorwerth Dungeon is nearby. Smithing Prifddinas holds the 2nd closest furnace (after Shilo Village) and the closest anvil to a bank in the game which also has the furnace directly next to an anvil. Thieving The city hosts several stalls and Pickpocket targets for those with 85 Thieving. Woodcutting There are several teak and mahogany trees near the Sawmill Operator, as well as several yew and magic trees within city walls.	Requires the completion of Song of the Elves to access, meaning those who have not completed the quest cannot visit. Those unfamiliar with the city can easily find themselves getting lost, unable to find the many, spaced out features.
