Do you love your home? I do. 😊

I feel safe and comfortable here. I think love would be a bit strong.

LaurieFairyCake · 31/03/2026 18:54

Very much. Unless I won a million plus I wouldn’t change it. And it’s not cos it’s a great place, it’s just perfect for ME.

TMFF · 31/03/2026 18:56

Yes I do.

And this is the second thread in a week asking this 😁

DreamingOfGeneHunt · 31/03/2026 19:01

Yes. It's a very small, very old council flat, on a notorious estate, but it's warm and cosy and happy.

That’s the way I feel about mine.

No, I think we made a mistake.

EmpressaurusKitty · 31/03/2026 19:13

Yes. It’s a one bed, second floor new build flat in a London suburb, on a small friendly estate that’s both out of the way & an easy walk from the supermarket, gym, independent coffee shop & tube station, and it’s light, spacious & so well insulated that I barely need to put the heating on.

I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather live, even if I won millions.

ThatLimeBiscuit · 31/03/2026 19:15

Yes I love my house so much, everything about it. It’s a new build so I still have a few wee changes to make but I’m so happy here.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 31/03/2026 19:16

Yes. I love it so much that I buy it a present on the anniversary of the day I bought it (17 January). Nothing big, a nice candle or a throw or a small piece of furniture.

But I really do love it. It's a tiny, thick-walled cottage but I spent 30 years in huge house with no heating and being cosy and snug is worth the world to me.

Seagroves · 31/03/2026 19:19

No, although it’s served us well. I did love our much smaller previous house.

MissyB1 · 31/03/2026 19:22

No, it’s been a lot of hard work ever since we moved in ten years ago.

In what way?

I like it and the location is amazing, but I wouldn't say I love it. I'm not sure I have ever loved a property or ever would. I'm just quite practically minded so the location and practical elements were my priority and it ticks all our boxes so it suits me. It baffles me a bit when people live in really awkward locations or places with awful schools just because they fell in love with a house.

My love for mine is also it’s location!

JadeSeahorse · 01/04/2026 10:16

Yes definitely!

It's a 4 bed/2 bath detached built by a private builder on a small cul de sac in a semi rural village over 30 years ago. We bought the show house but have developed and redecorated throughout to our taste over the years and now looks nothing like it did initially. 😁

Both DH and I have said we are only leaving here in a box.😁

dudsville · 01/04/2026 10:22

We love our home, genuinely. Our decision to move here was purely rational, based on a sepread sheet of required and hoped for criteria, and we were even surprised when it came top because we weren't enamored with it at the time, could barely even recall it because we were looking at 10 to 15 houses each weekend. But somehow we fell in love on moving in day. Even the movers were expressing delight. Now, so many years on, it's still perfect for us. I sometimes have "nightmares" that we've moved for some reason, and in my dream I'm just so full of regret. I hope to live here until I either day or go to a home.

Branleuse · 01/04/2026 10:22

Not really

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 01/04/2026 10:24

Not love but like a lot.

Yes but I’d love to have £100k to update a bit. Oh and if my husband wasn’t in it it would be a lot better!
