Hi,

Just bought my first house ...

How old is the house?
What general condition do you judge it to be in relative to its age? (scale
1-10).
How much bodgeing has been done in the past?
How long are you intending to stay there? (then add 5 years ;-)

Modify the other answers based on the answers to these questions.
