Where did you live before your current home?

[glovestrains]

a rental home 15 minutes away from my current one

>6,500 miles and 9 timezones East.

Sold our small 3 bed semi on a busy B road to buy a 4 bed spacious detached on a quiet 60s estate. 5 min walk away. We'd outgrown the small semi years ago but our focus was on being mortgage free. Wfh during/ after covid changed our priorities, we needed the space for an office rather than no mortgage.

A rented property about 2 miles away, for 9 months while house hunting.

Prior to that a 3 bed detached in New Forest, over the water from us.

Council flat, live in a shared ownership place now.

A house 2hrs away that I'd lived in for 20 years and gave birth to youngest DC in.

Lovely detached 'villa' in nice bit of Copenhagen (rented)

4 bed detached in same town.

Didn't like the layout and some of the rooms were small. Moved to a larger 4 bed.

A council flat 100 miles away.

I lived in England, and now I live in New England :-)

A rental 15 minutes drive away

My flat which is now rented out 10 min cycle away

A terrace about 4 streets away. We extended into the loft but still outgrew it (was meant to be our starter home and we were there 15 years!)

New York 🥰

With my parents in North Worcestershire. We lived in a detached house. Glad I left. Would never return to my hometown (I loved living with my parents though)

A few miles away over the county border in another village.

We’ve moved 5 times in 10 years though!

This is our 3rd house together. 1st was a 2 bed starter home about 4 miles from here. 2nd house was a 3 bed link detached - great big garden but tiny rooms inside house. Recently moved to our current home which is a 4 bed townhouse in same town as previous house

Large 4 bed, 3 baths detached with land in desirable village 5 miles away. Down sized to new village 6 years ago. Loved that house with a passion but the cost of upkeep, gardener, cleaner, bills [especially council tax] and heating was horrific. Definitely no regrets. Love it here in our dinky little house in our lovely quiet backwater.

A 3 bed terrace on the other side of town

Croydon. Albeit one of the nicer bits.

Job was relocated several hundred miles away

Original property was rented out & is now up for sale

Property in second location will be for sale soon

We are moving to a third location

My parents. I'd sold my previous house and not found one to buy. Everything was in storage, or I'd given it away. It was quite a pain, as they lived further from work so I couldn't really cycle.

In a small 1 bed flat about 20 mins from where I live now, brought it in 1988 for £16,000, sold it in 1991 for £24,500 and it sold back in 2020 for £170k - mental how prices have gone up - I certainly wouldn’t have paid 170 for it….

A 2 bed flat in a city 50 miles away.

A smaller (and ugly) 70s house ten minutes away. I much prefer my current home but my mortgage is bigger.

Rented 2 bed terraced, about 30 mins drive from where I live now.
