- spacehome 8y agoHuh. In the US, year of construction is one of a very short list of numbers that characterizes a home for sale. It makes a big difference, too, as you can see various styles, floorplans, and uses of space fall into and out of fashion decade-to-decade. It would be quite unusual for a homeowner here not to be in tune with the year their home was built.
- spiralx 8y agoYou could look it up in the Land Registry in the UK if you wanted to, although it's often fairly easy to guess roughly when a house was built here from the style.
- A2017U1 8y agoFair call, I just rarely see it in my country and it's not used as a marketing tool. There's some very well built old houses, places are judged on merit.
