After he died, his sons Štěpán, who lived in Jindřichův Hradec and a tanner, Václav, inherited the house. Their mother, Dorota Kuncová, bought the house from them, and in the last will endowed it to her sister Kateřina and her husband in 1520. He was also a baker, and took over the name of the baker who lived in the house before, so he was also called baker Kunc. In 1536 he exchanged the house with a higgler, Dorota, who was a widow after Lindl Dirnhovar. After she died the house was inherited by her son, Vaněk Zpěváček, who sold it to a baker named Mates in 1540. In the middle of the 1540`s, a baker Hans acquired the house, and in 1559 sold it to another baker, Petr Wolfram. In 1562 Peter exchanged it with Mikuláš Rauscher for his house on Plešivec.
