Jonathan Rolande from [ Ссылка ] answers the common question, how can I find out when my house was build?

It's a very interesting subject, a lot of us want to know when our property were build and the history of the property, and of course you are often asked by people like the insurers for the age.

There are lots and lots of clues you can look for, from the style of doors and architraves around the doors, skirting boards, windows, roof, construction, etc, etc.

If you know what you're looking for it's quite easy to date a property, however if you don't know the clues to look for then you can always check the deeds, that would generally show when the property was constructed.

You will see deeds going right back to when the property wasn't there, when it was just perhaps a farmers field, or something like that.

Then it changes hands and you'll see that eventually the house is build.

Remember the majority of building was carried out in Victorian times up to about 1901 and then there were gaps in the two World Wars, 1914 - 1918 and 1939 - 1945, almost no properties build then.

So, your house is unlikely to be built in the period.

If you want specific advice on it, ask a local estate agent or surveyor and they should give you all the clues that you need.
