I love thinking about how different we all are and was wondering what your home are like.
I’ll start... I’m in a regional town on the coast in NSW. My house is two storey, 4 bedroom lounge, dining, kitchen all beds upstairs.
Built about 30 years ago so cosmetically dated but extremely comfortable. We rent because we missed the housing boom.

Spidey66 Warner flats are brilliant. I've lived in a couple in E17.

I’ve just bought a 6 bed Victorian terrace in London. It needs A LOT of work. I have the builders starting the extension tomorrow.

It’s a 4 storey, 3 bath, 6 bed and a fairly large garden. 2 reception rooms and a kitchen/diner.

Lots of space but needs at least £250k worth of work, has the nasty old floorboards that are irreparable, walls need to be plastered, brand new kitchens and bathrooms. Basically it’s a gut job. Not complaining though as I know it’ll be beautiful when it’s done.

5 bed end terrace victorian house in a market town in Shropshire. 4 bathrooms and 3 reception rooms. I love my house but wish it was somewhere else.

An second floor apartment in what was once a grand old wood frame Victorian farmhouse in open countryside, now situated in an American city. The house was converted into apartments and single rented rooms in the 1940s and is full of quirks, little nooks and crannies, and interesting evidence of its past lives. There are ten foot high ceilings, a massive old fireplace, old wooden floors, and a big south facing bay window that catches the sun.

It's now three apartments but probably housed up to ten separate households in the past. I have a big deck off my kitchen, there's an outside back stairs and also a main staircase indoors which leads up from the front door. There are 12 steps up from the ground to the front porch and front door. I'm on the second floor so shaded from the worst of the summer heat by the trees that surround me.

Hi broken2020
I'm in another European country and you cant get financial help here. no benefits or housing help apart from child benefit. I need to save up to afford private rent and must pay for childcare whilst I work. (I have to work to stay in the country but cant leave because of the hague convention).

I live in an 1890s 3 story end of terraced in the NE. It has 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, downstairs loo, lounge, 2nd reception room, large kitchen /diner, small utility, garden and detached garage. We live on a private road with lots of lovely trees.

In NZ. Original house was a 2 bed, 1870s cottage, cold with character. That didn't survive the earthquakes, so we're now in a 3 bed, 2 bath brand spanking new house. 1 bed & ensuite upstairs & other 2 bedrooms downstairs. Lounge, dining, kitchen combined; runs all the way from the front to the back of the house with the kitchen in the middle. Huge breakfast bar that is ideally suited to the consumption of the odd Prosecco. Fab views across harbour & mountains.

Large 2 bed ground floor flat, house built 1750ish, in small cathedral city in southern England. Perfect for me, city centre and shops 5 mins walk, river and countryside 5 mins the other direction. I love living here, so lucky to have found it.
