I can`t buy the plot of land for Lakeview Manor. I killed the Jarls Steward in a Dark Brotherhood mission. Will there be a patch for this bug?

It's no glitch, you simply have to deal with the consequences of murdering the Steward, had you left him alive it would have been fine. Just join the Stormcloaks and take over the Falkreath area, you'll get a new Steward soon enough.
Look up the quest "Rare Gifts". If you have any of these quests uncompleted in your miscellaneous quests list, you must complete it. Rare Gifts is the quest the Jarl gives you so that you can become thane and buy the plot of land. I did this just last night, and it works. Killing the steward/houscarl isn't the problem.
there is supposed to be one more major patch coming out right becasue i have this same issue i contacted the company and im just wating for a email back hes my email if you want more info after a get a reply back just say in an email you saw this jthomaskerr@yahoo.com is my email
I'm sorry this only helps pc players, which I know is frustrating to others, but this is what worked for me.
It is just slightly different from what was offered as a solution on the main page. That did not work for me, which is why I had to "wing it" which always scares me spitless given I'm now at level 62 and have beaten Dragonborn DLC and finished most of Hearthfire except the "fun" house building stuff.
When I tried the "official" fix all that happened was that Helvard resurrected and was pissed as hell at me and said the same things to me that Vorstag did after I left at the altar--"YOU want to talk to ME after everything you did??"
I can't say that I blame old Helvard. I did kill the poor guy and leave his body there to rot until I needed it for something. ; )
Here's what happened...
I think "player.setrelationshiprank 19823 4" failed after the resurrect on Helvard because his number changed to 00019824 after the resurrect for some reason, so I just did the "resurrect 2" with the console open pointing at his dead body (so it wouldn't matter what his number was).
Then I did "player.setrelationshiprank [his number without these brackets] 4
So for me the command looked like this:
player.setrelationshiprank 00019824 4
Then I opened the console and selected the jarl to get his number and had to go to a rank of 3 rather than 2 to get the dialogue for the honorary position of Thane so I could get the bandit quest. For me that command looked like this:
player.setrelationshiprank 00019822 3 (again, I suggest you get your own number)
I spent hours on this (all night actually). I want that house becuse it's the best porperty, and I did finally get it with no further ado after killing a giant and talking to the Steward.
By the way, she spoke to me directly. There was no letter involed, so apparently the patch is in place. Also, for the record, I have several Radiant quests open because I kind of put everything else on hold to do the "new" stuff.
Hope this helps. I know it's a lot of detail, but not everyone is comfortable with using these commands. I know I wasn't at first.
To sum up, the confirmed fix that worked for me without any issues (and survived a reboot of my pc) looked like this:
hit ~
select Helvard's dead body
resurrect 2
enter
player.setrelationshiprank 00019824 4 (fixes your status with Helvard despite that little murder thing)
enter
player.setrelationshiprank 00019822 3 (makes the Jarl friendly toward you)
enter
hit ~
Even though the official fix did not work for me, I could not have gotten the house without it, because I'd have had no idea where to begin. I'm slowly evolving an understanding of how these things work thanks to this wiki. Thank you so much everyone!
There is a FIX for the dark brotherhood bug which prevent u from buing the lake view manor, simply go to the jarl press the ~ button then click the jarl andcommand "setrelationshiprank player 4" and enter do this 2-3 times then ask the jarl will order u to kill the bandit leader
I once had this problem... I found this fix from internet:
Join the Stormcloak rebellion, and when they appoint new jarl in Falkreath, this will be available to buy. For me it was, and now my best account has not yet decided which side he is... So I think if I can't find the bandit job, I will join Stormcloaks on him, although I otherwise would prefer Imperials... Hope this helps anyone!
i had the same problem but when i turned in my contracts for killing bandit leaders it opened up and i was told to kill a dragon
click on yarl
tipe in console "setrelationshiprank player 4"
enter
