Are you happy where you live?

[Tatties]

And how long have you lived there? How often do you get itchy feet and feel like moving on?

I'm (hopefully) moving for the 20th time in 30 years next month so I get itchy feet quite often.

I lived here since 1999. Happy here except for would like to be closer to family (even inlaws). Would love a Christmas where no travelling was involved.

5 months and I hate it.

been here 18 months but not feeling it...

Noooo. I've lived here almost two years and I've wanted to move for a year now. Hopefully we will be after Xmas. I probably get itchy feet too often as never stayed in one house more than a few years when I was a kid, but this place is truly 'orrible The flat itself, rather than the area.

been her 7 years but really want to move, but it is housing association, and to get bigger house nad bigger garden i would have to private rent which isnt assured tennancy... which would worry me.
have 2 bedroom place and girls have to share age 10 and 4, 10 year old desperate for her own space

but i realise how lucky we are as many are not

5 years love the area and the town, hate the house. but ishall be moving next year

Yes; tis too small, with onstreet parking, and still mainly undecorated after 6/7 years, but I just am happy to own a house in a reasonable area.

I have lived where I am for four years and hate it. Am waiting for a permanent residence visa to Canada (will be gone by September hopefully) can't wait.

I've been here 3 years almost to the day and love it, love it, love it!

But was in previous house in different part of UK and hated it with a passion - I think sometimes I was possibly depressed at the time, because I feel like a different person now I'm here.

This is our forever house, as far as we can say that - obviously circumstances might change, but for now we're planning to stay put.

My house is on my profile photos - so you might get a clue why I'm so happy

have been here four years (although two spent renovating).

although i would love a bigger house, i do enjoy where i live.

great house, great countryside, great friends.

family close by.

every time i look at other houses, they just don,t stack up.

absolutely! wouldn't change a thing about this place.

been here about 6 weeks now, but i knew the owner of this house for years before that and have been coming here for about 5 years.

it's not ours, however, so we'll have to move along once our landlords return from abroad.

would love to stay here for good.

I'll love it more when we get central heating in a few weeks - no more shovelling coal!

I have a love hate relationship with my town. I love it because it is full of beautiful open spaces and has nice shops, hate it because it is scarily affluent and self-satisfied. It is a lovely place to bring up children (safe, friendly, excellent schools, brilliant leisure facilities etc) but it makes me feel slightly guilty.

LOVE my house. It is 3 yrs old and so different from UK houses. Is all open plan and modern and fab. Landlord designed it to live in himself as a bachelor pad but then didn't.

Within Budapest the location is good. 10 mins from school (by car) and same from supermarket. And Budapest is a lovely city and we have some great friends here and the school is lovely.

But it's not home.

5 years, do not like it

but will be moving next year far far away to Australia if pesky visa people get a move on

5yrs mor or less.
yes i like it.

is longest ive ever stayed put anywhere and in any relationship/circumstance... so am naturally a bit of a wanderer. short attention span i guess. or gypsy spirit, whichever way you want to look at it.

but yeah, im staying put for the foreseeable now.

Have lived in Devon for 18 months and we are blissfully happy here, still in the honeymoon phase perhaps. Lived in Manchester for 14 of the previous 15 years and never liked it much.

I still wouldn't mind going abroad to live or travel, but don't particularly want to move again within the UK.

I've moved very often since getting my own place aged 18, some houses only stayed in for 6months! Probably due to the fact that I've only ever been in a position to privately rent. If I bought my own place I think I'd spend more time in the decision making regarding the area, house and plans for the future etc. I'm fairly happy where I am now, I despise the area, it's terrible, but has brilliant facilities, and I love the house I'm in. I've only been here 3months so far.

Not really. The problem was one of timing - a lot of our friends benefited from the recent housing boom, but dp and I only met once it was under way. By the time we'd decided to live together and managed to save up a deposit, we were completely priced out of the OK area we'd been renting in (which has since become ridiculously expensive), and had to move to an ex-council flat in a 'deprived' area. This is London, by the way. I don't hate it ? our flat is nice and I get on well with all my neighbours, we've found a lovely community nursery for dd etc, but I still feel a bit sad that I can't live in the area I lived in for eight years, where most of my friends are. Still, that's housing booms for you - if you're in on them, great, if you're not, not. At least we did manage to buy a place before prices got really silly.

After hating it & always wanting to move to Georgian rectory type thing to which one is accustomed, have now done enough to it to make it much more our thing, and now love it.

It's been a bit like an arranged marriage, putting up with it and gradually growing to love it.

It's big and in a beautiful location in the country, but pig ugly from the outside.

bobsmum - looks beautiful where you live - I have friends in Tarbert and that looks fab tooo

I have lived in south Norfolk for 7 years and really love it, can't imagine ever moving back up north now. Our house is only OK but we don't have a mortgage so I'm happy to stay put for that reason.

I love that I can pick sloes, crab apples, blackberries, elderflowers/berries and horseradish 2 mins away from my front door.

I love that if I turn right out of my house, within 10 mins I'm in a pretty rural market town with quirky independent shops, tea shops, pubs, restaurants etc. If I turn left out of my door I'm on field edges or ancient village greens.

I love that crime is practically non existant and the schools are good.

I love that I'm 90 mins away from London

The only downside is being so far away from my family and old friends.

hate my house, 3 storey townhouse - far too tall and narrow and hate the area it's in and am taking steps now to facilitate a move ASAP

No! been here 5 months & hate it.
