How many houses?

AlexMac

How many; too many to count; probably 50-60 (not many of them houses; a caravan, B&Bs, hostels, rentals... latterly and as an adult renting 5-6 then owning about 10 flats or houses sequentially over 35+ years); not uncommon in the post-war maelstrom. How lucky we are to live now in a relatively stable and peaceful society

I'm mid 30s. 4 with parents and 11 rentals as an adult. I can't wait to buy and stop moving for a while.

I'm 27
Currently in home number 7!
1 childhood home owned by my parents
2 student rents (or arguably 3 as I spent 3 months living away from home and uni)
Currently in 4th property rented as a proper grown up. Hoping we can stay here till we afford to buy, some of
of those rents were really short but been in latest one over 2 years!

I'm 68 and lived in two rented homes with my parents and have owned 6 since being married.

I forgot a mobile home we lived in while our extension was being done.

Quickly gets fingers out -

9 with parents (Armed Forces family:()
1 live-in job whilst I worked abroad temporarily
1 live-in job whilst I worked elsewhere in Britain temporarily
2 grotty rented bedsits
1 public sector flat
Starter house
Current house

If things go as expected financially - current house is probably my last one.

If I get lucky financially (that Lottery win....) - I'll sell current house and move again and that would be the last one.

EDIT; That's now got me wondering just how many "childhood" homes I would have had if my father hadn't decided to come out of the armed forces when his daughter got to her questioning teens. Give my parents their due and they had realised by then that my fathers career was thoroughly upsetting their daughter one way and another and she wasn't going to "settle" or stop getting ill whilst it carried on...

6 childhood homes
5 flats/rooms whilst at university
5 houses/flats rented since graduating

I'm 53 and ive lived in:

Childhood home
First husbands flat for 6 months
Our own house for 12 months or so
Back into my childhood home.

Grew up in two houses (one from 0-3, next from 3-23) - North London
Student halls - Warwick Uni
Same student house for two years - Leamington Spa
Then back to childhood house for two years
Bought first house in 2001, Walthamstow
But let it when I moved in with future husband to rental in Wimbledon while he worked in Surrey
Bought flat together in 2007
Bought house on same road 2015 (having sold house in Walthamstow in 2014)


So 8 places, if you include student halls, and I'm nearly 38.


When I met my husband, he'd lived in about 6 places in five years!

I've just remembered one more. It was definitely the best address I ever had, as single floor flats there are currently going for £5m.

It was a hostel. There were 4 rooms on each main floor + a bathroom, so that would make our room worth £1m.

It certainly didn't feel like it then, making toast on the gas fire...:(
