Returned to Squin to find the house I bought and was using as a base was destroyed and up for sale again?

So I bought a house in Squin fairly early on in this save and had been using it as my only base. Had a few beds and a decent research bench, but I mostly used it for storage and I had a ton of valuable items, armor and weapons there.

Decided to do some bounty hunting for a bit, and brought all my characters as far away as Clownsteady. Then I get back to Squin to find a destroyed shell of a building for sale where my base had been. Everything there has disappeared and there doesn't seem to be any way to get it back.

It's pretty annoying to it something this way after pouring so much time into a save, and I'm not really bothered rebuilding. Time to start a new save I guess.

Any one else had this problem?

Yep, it's a regular problem. The towns reset sometimes for reasons I don't know. I theorize its the same reason shopkeepers double sometimes. Basically, don't put anything in a bought house you need to keep.

I pretty much use purchased houses as a rest and resupply stops. I also set up a Dojo for basic skills when I decide to take on another recruit in a new area so guess in doing that right even though I haven't lost anything yet.

Yea. I had to reinstall my game. Verifying isn't enough either. Kind of a pain it solved the problem for me.

I treat it like I was gone for too long so some folks raided my home, took my shit, and then threw a party haha. My fault for leaving my hone unguarded in a wasteland.

Yup, I quit having this as an issue when I stopped overwriting saves and just made a new one each time

I had the same thing happen. Went out adventuring and came back to my Squin Y-House to find it for sale and in ruins again. None of the faction take over events had occured. I went back to an older save where the house was still mine and intact. I have since left a person, in their own squad (weapons\armor smith), constantly in or around the building and this hasn't happened since. I was assuming that the game just unloaded all the Squin data, including my house, once my team was far enough away from Squin. Seems like a flaky design if this is the case tho. I purchased a small building in Stack ages ago and didn't repair it or do anything with it. Will be interesting to see if it's still labelled as mine when I head back to raize the town in the not too distant future.

Happened to me as well but at the Waystation in the Grey Desert. I caught it early enough that one of my autosaves let me load back to a point when it was still there and it didnt happen again.

I think it might be a bug or unintended behavior of the "Town override" system where certain towns and minor-faction locations can be conquered by another faction. Shek, HN, and UC towns are all included in this system. I have set up in Worlds End (which I believe cannot change hands) and have not yet had this problem. This is just my guess however so it may not be correct.
