    I would buy the block of land we had in the blue mountains but I'd not buy any of my childhood homes

    The first home I ever lived in I don't remember, but I couldn't buy it because it was pulled down and turned into FOURTEEN units!!! OK, it was a 1 acre block, but still . . . I think that's a bit extreme!

    I'm living in my childhood home!(inherited to me by my mum) Its a good house and if we could move it to a different location it'd be even better. Having said that though we are moving soon and will probably sell it for the first time which is kinda sad.

    we inherited DH's family home (and the mortgage that goes with it!) when DH's brother passed away just after we got engaged. his parents built it early 1980's - the old house on this block had been here for a couple of generations - so DH has only ever lived here in one of the two houses. it's hard trying to (still) clean out the crap that was accumulated, but i love it here!

    No not our house, but I'd love to buy my nans house. It's an old war home and I would love to buy it and renovate it. It has such a homely feel to it and anyone who walks in there often say they feel instantly at home. Though the area leaves a bit to be desired....
