How long have you lived in your current abode?

[WATFORD zero]

23 years. Used to move every couple of years, 5 different flats and 3 houses in previous 14 years. Bought it for the big Garden, then children came along and the schools were handy, a couple of extensions later and we are still here. Will probably move when kids move out as too big for two.

 

[TotallyFreaked]

Lived in our house for five years but just about to move. We love the house and is perfect for our family but the constant noise from different student houses has made it pretty impossible for us to carry on living there. Just so damn expensive moving

 

[Norman Potting]

6.5 years. No plans to move in the forseeable future unless Mrs P wins the lottery (I never enter it).

 

[Lord Bracknell]

38 years.

It's not a "step on the property ladder", it's a home.

 

[Driver8]

12 years since I relocated to North Wales. Won't be moving anytime soon.

 

[Badger]

3 years next week, I'm very much on the first rung so I'll probably be moving again in the next couple of years.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

9 years and I'm not going anywhere else.

 

[grubbyhands]

38 years.

It's not a "step on the property ladder", it's a home.

Woo-Hoo, Winner I suspect.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

11 years now, here in the heart of England since job forced move as a result of 9/11.
We talk about another move now the kids have finished school - but they're not in a place of their own yet so at least a few more years hear.

Might return to Sussex, but more likely stay up here. Even thought about New Zealand, but probably just a dream.

 

[Return of the Rev]

20 years for us! The people we bought off moved in around 1934

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

17 years 2 months. The 5th house I've lived in over 50 years.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

2 years this week.

Time to find me a new fixed rate innit.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

7 years come January

 

[BLOCK F]

12 years in December.

 

[withdeanwombat]

15 years on my estate in The Peoples' Republic of Somersetshire, and can only see myself being boxed out of this place....I'll let you know.

Motherwombat has been in her mansion in Hove since 1959, but thinks folk will laugh at her if she posts this item.

 

[Guinness Boy]

6 years, but about to move out (hopefully) as we need more room for the kids. As a child I only lived in two houses. As an adult I've been through three flats in Brighton, a maisonette in Hove, a house in Portslade and also lived in Sydney, Tokyo and Taipe. I make that 8 moves in 20 odd years.

 

[sams dad]

3 years 4 months in this house.
Spent most of that time extending/renovating/modernising it.
Currently landscaping the back garden.
Still got one bathroom to re-fit, and the front garden/driveway to re-configure.
When all finished will, hopefully, sell it at a decent profit, and retire to North Devon.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I moved back home with my parents whilst studying to become a teacher and haven't moved out, so 33 years... (with a decade 'on leave')

 

[hans kraay fan club]

12 years.

 

[Grombleton]

Just over 2 years. My first owned home.

Reminds me, i should sort out a new fixed rate mortage...
