How long did you stay in your first house?

As a ftb I'm just wondering what other people's experiences are/were? And what prompted the move? There is so much talk about a housing ladder that it almost seems expected that people move out of their first house quite quickly

For me (I'm not a journalist!)
I bought my property just after I met my dp, we both own places, so will probably pick one to move into together as a trial at some point and then sell both to fund a family home. I expect to be in my house under 5 years, but still think it was better to buy than stay renting, as my monthly costs are so much lower

12 years bought in 1985, sold in 1997, it went up loads in price and back down again in that time

Had first property for 4 years but spent 2 years extending and renovating and only 2 years actually living in it.
