Year my rented house was built?

[Jess78]

I need to find out what year the rented house I've just moved in to was built for my insurance company.

There's a link to an image of a property in the same street below. can anyone help give me an indication?

at an extremely wild guess it could be 1929s, but would your local library be able to help?

doh, 1920s I meant

[another-view]

7th July 1926. The last roof slate was put on at around 3pm.

Sorry I can't be more accurate.

you could try this

But I would say early 1900's

[tamborine]

g'FIL built similar, known as 'villas' 1920ish

surely the owner would know

If the owner has (or has had) a mortgage then the valuation would probably give an indication.

If not then is there a local history society or someone local who would be likely to know? Local library might be a start or an estage agency.

I would say 1900s as well, just a hunch.

As there are window 'lights' above the front door it is before electric light and so about 1880, the key stone aboive the windows suggests the need to show the street they were asporing to middle class which screams victorian, the narrow passage between the properties suggest they would have had to have access for the water closets in the back yard and so still 1880 - 1890.

it actually looks quite like my house (which is a semi) in many ways, and that was built in 1910. I'd say probably anwhere 1900-1930.

librarys, internet, estate agents???? Just ring your landlord and ask

[boxtops]

Your landlord will surely know, his own buildings insurance company would want this info too (unless of course you have to insure the building?). Could you not just ask your neighbours? - they must need the same info for their own cover.

[dothawkes31]

I would also suggest you walk up and down the street as there is probably ay least one date stone in the middle of a clock somewhere, if you five me the street address i can check the census for you too,

Why, as a tenant, would you need to know when the property you are renting was built? You only need to insure your contents not the building. Insuring the building is the landlord's responsibility.
