What is the most important thing to you in a new house?
For me it's practical stuff like how much sun it gets in winter and if all the rooms have got electricity sockets. I also think about how easy it will be to wash and dry my clothes. And stuff like how well insulated it is.
After renting an old building with absolute shit insulation and dodgy electrics/gas work, I like the look of nice new hot water boilers & radiators, and insulated walls... Good really that we're now in a brand new building with awesome insulation and properly serviced appliances.

My first dodgy rental was when I was 18. At least you had some age on you
Mind you, we had no chance of freezing in the winter

heh. I'd been in 2 days when the boiler packed up in -8c and snowstorms. The ******s took nearly 2 weeks to fix it. I wouldn't spit on the landlady if she was on fire, lying bitch that she was.
