Depending on the maintenance you put in.Eg: keep exterior timber/cladding painted every 7 years.Keep roof and gutters clear of leaves. And if coastal change the roof screws every 10-15 years as they sacrifice first and will then rust a hole in your roof.Metal roofs have a 30 year warranty and that's the most important part of the house really. If the roof is a complex one you can run into problems. Also expensive to replace something complex. Basic flat, gable shapes are God.Plumbing done out of that pex pipe (plastic) which apparently lasts 40-50 years.Not a fan of it, as rats will chew it if you bait them. But haven't seen to many problems with it.Most sealants 25 years.Interior will last as long as maintained.Kitchens probably not. The cheap ones don't last. Cupboard hardware such as hinges can wear/rust fast. Sliding door fittings, handles etc. They can be of course replaced. But many China ones are lucky to last 5 years.So it's the cheap imported stuff from China that tends not to last.
