Does anyone live in a 90’s build house?

[FreeBritnee]

We’re currently in a 70’s house and looking at making an offer on a 90’s build. Anyone live in
one and feel there are any inherent issues or positives?

I lived in a 90s build until recently. We were there for 20 years and had no major problems, the house needed little maintenance apart from the day to day stuff. It was a Redrow house if that mashes any difference. I would say it was much better built than the current crop of new builds. Also better than my sister's house which was built in the 2000s.

Have the kitchen, bathroom, windows, boiler etc been changed since it was built? If not they're likely to be on their last legs.

Ours is a 90’s house build. It’s fine, apart from when we built to the side of the house found the insulation between the walls was sparse. But ours was built by a small family business, so not one of the big ones.

We’ve had two. First was on housing estate. Fine for a starter home but not very spacious. Narrow garage and driveway, small room dimensions, overlooked garden. But very low maintenance.
Current one, a “one off” build. Much more spacious than before but still not a large plot like you tend to get with older properties. Some things now starting to deteriorate or need replacing - boiler, roof has had small leaks. Also swirly artex ceilings to skim, only one bathroom, still a really decent solid build though and not mega dated.

I’ve just moved from a 1930s to a 1990 built house and loving it so far. Feels very solid and sturdy and the previous owners had extended our over the garage. They had renovated to make it really modern but oddly left a couple of rooms with the swirly artexed ceilings. Feels like it will be easier to maintain that last house.
Garden is smaller than my 1930s house which was the compromise but still a decent size (50ft) compared to some other newer build gardens we viewed.

I'm in a 1990's house. It's not massive but we've extended it.

It's a semi and the soundproofing between here and next door is good.

I've been here nearly 23 years. No major problems or complaints. Had to get artex skimmed over when we moved in. Also have replaced the boiler and rads and the tacky brown doors that were in all the rooms.

We live in a 90s build (5 bed)
I grew up in a Victorian house. First house I owned was 1950s one.
This is my favourite! Easy to keep warm. The right mix of rooms for us. No issues at all with the building.

Started off in a two bed terraced 70s house. Moved to a small 4 bed 90s house and our heating bill was lower. Wall, floor and loft insulating regs that had come in by then made a massive difference..

I live in a 90s house that was built at the end of a cul de sac of 70s houses so it's similar in look but a bit newer.

The only thing I'd say based on my experience is that you're coming up to the 25-30 year mark where a lot of major things may need replacing. We knew before we moved in that we'd need to replace the the original windows, electrics, kitchens and bathrooms, fortunately the water/heating had been updated because of a previous leak so that was something we didn't need to do.

I love our house though, it's well insulated, solidly built, is in a nice position and I don't feel terrible doing anything to it as there's no period features to mess with anyway!
