How can I find the date my house was built (as the date is not listed on the deeds)?
You might want to check your property tax assement information. If you are the second or third owner of the property you might be able to see when the original owner moved in. Also you can look up that information in your local govt public records. If you do a title search on your property you can see who owned it in the past and possibly find the original permit information. One thing that is always reliable as well is to find out from your neighbors. Regardless of where you live there is always someone who either lived in the neighborhood from the very beginning when it was first created or they are an aire to the original owner of the house..
The previous answers are great if the property is fairly modern but if, like me, your house dates back 400 years or more then you need to get a copy of registration from the Land Registry office in your area – this costs around £25 and gives you a lot of information (not just the earliest date that it was registered) but who lived there before etc. Very interesting stuff. Hope this helps.
