Blog Post December 31, Where's Waldo? You need to check the register position first, to see if there is anything available - there's a link in the blog. Comment by Lee T posted on on 22 November Pardon my ignorance, but which link is it? I really don't have a clue about this kind of thing.
Comment by ianflowers posted on on 22 November You're welcome. AdamH - many thanks for your rapid response - I will try this link and see if they can help. Kind regards, Gordon. Comment by John Piller posted on on 06 January Hi, how do I go about searching early census on a property I have just purchased? I am trying to find out its age and history.
Comment by AdamH posted on on 07 January Comment by Sharon posted on on 25 January I was a child then so didn't know who bought it. Comment by ianflowers posted on on 25 January Sharon - if the property was registered with us at that time, we will usually hold copies of any transfers of ownership that were registered around Comment by Susan Swiderski posted on on 27 February Is the date of an indenture between several parties an indication of the date a property was built?
Comment by AdamH posted on on 28 February Comment by Susan Swiderski posted on on 28 February Comment by M posted on on 03 March Hi, I am planning to buy a property and I would like to know if there's anywhere where I could find out if a new building is going to be built in front of that place. Anyone can help me? Comment by AdamH posted on on 04 March Comment by Lisa Clements posted on on 17 March I'm looking into the history of my house which I believe was built in or around However, I also believe that the number of the house actually changed at some point but have no idea what it was.
How can I find out please? Comment by AdamH posted on on 18 March Lisa - local research and perhaps the local census or local authority can assist with regards any renumbering records. Comment by David Rew posted on on 30 May Over the past decade, we have been developing a radical, agile and iterative approach to interactive data visualisation at University Hospital Southampton, using stacked parallel timelines and iconography to link to documents and reports.
This allows us to display the entire clinical history of ach and every patient in our care on a single screen. The system is now live at UHS for all authorised users to review some 2. We recognise that the concept could be as readily applied to creating a great tool to display and interact with the entire history of any property for which information exists or can be added in future.
Very happy to explore further if you or anyone else with a suitable user case would like to get in touch via the email address supplied. Comment by Adam posted on on 08 July Hi, I live in a house of non standard concrete construction. Is there a way I can find out what type of concrete construction. It is critical for me to know so that I can refinance my house. Many thanks. Comment by AdamH posted on on 09 July Adam - not through us I'm afraid as such details are not part of the land register.
I would suggest sourcing a structural or quantity surveyor for assistance. Comment by Adam posted on on 09 July Thank you for your quick reply. In case anyone else is in the same position I found my local council had a record.
Possibly because my property was ex local authority. Many thanks once more. Comment by J Jones posted on on 05 August Hi, Through our local historical archives I have found the original deeds of our house dating back to a 99 year lease in which defined 4 houses to be built on the land. The archives hold the original lease, the land certificate documents with numbers and dated April and further legal documents dealing with the lease and subsequent wills.
These documents are complete up to We also have our current land registry documents which only register our present ownership. Can I find more about the land certificate of ? All 4 houses had the same land certificate number does this mean they were built at the same time time. Thank you. Comment by AdamH posted on on 05 August J Jones - registration did not always occur when a building was erected on the land. Thank you Adam for your very prompt and helpful response. Does the same land certificate number for 4 houses mean that they were built together.
They are a continuous terrace.? The houses are throughout the period described as an entity. Building a house and registering are rarely linked other than with developments completed in the late 20th century and now. Comment by Doris posted on on 13 September I was told that if the house has the original toilet, the date was stamped under the toilet tank lid to find out when the house was built.
Comment by Robin Smith posted on on 28 October I'm trying to find out the construction method of a house of non standard construction, can anyone point me in the right direction? Comment by AdamH posted on on 29 October Comment by..
Came across this page and just wanted to say that well done Adam H you are a very patient person to deal with all these individual comments that some of which just required proper reading of the article. Comment by Andrew Baillie posted on on 24 January A good way to age a property, particularly if it is under years old, it to visit your local family history center and ask to view the electoral registers.
These history centers are often in local libraries, sometimes in bigger offices. They are always available, and free to research.
Your property will appear on the electoral registers either the year it was built providing it was built before October, or the following year if it was built after October. These registers are provided on a year by year basis, and interestingly will offer the occupants names too, allowing full history detail.
Comment by Claire posted on on 08 June Hi Andrew, for council tax appealing purposes, would you have any idea how to source the number of bedrooms that a property has please? Comment by AdamH posted on on 08 June Comment by Jack Forshaw posted on on 17 May How do I find out when a house was built and will an insurance company accept a reasonable guess?
Comment by AdamH posted on on 18 May Jack - the article advises on how to try. Are you serious Quoted from this official Gov. I am in the process of disputing our council tax banding fee and all I have done is hit brick walls when I am attempting to meet your appeal criteria regarding finding like-for-like properties in my area!! All I need is to know when the comparison properties were built and how many bedrooms they hold but this is near-on impossible.
Then, to read your unhelpful quip just frustrated me further. Any advice on where to source the information that you require would be very much appreciated Houses are built at different times and for very different reasons sometimes. Locals often take an interest and historians may too but not for every house or property so only ever an option.
Just trying to be helpful but do appreciate how that may not always work for some readers. Comment by Geoff Hartnell posted on on 03 February We're in the same situation trying to appeal a council tax rating Our house was built around , but trying to find several properties within our local area of the same age is proving virtually impossible.
We are signed up to Ancestry and FindMyPast, but trying to search the Census means looking at each individual record, once you've narrowed it down to an area - surely there has to be a better way. And because of lockdown, you can't just go and look in your local library or wherever the records are held. Comment by PaulJ posted on on 19 June Comment by Adam Is a Hero posted on on 10 July Comment by AdamH posted on on 11 July Comment by Richard Farrow posted on on 06 August Hi, I am trying to get historical copies of the register and title plans for a ruined building that was registered in I applied for a search to get the title numbers that have been sent to me.
I now need to get copies of these using form HC1 but it requires me to fill in the exact dates of the register and plans which I do not have. It says that without this the application will be rejected. The dates were not given on the search results form, only the title numbers.
How can I find the dates? Also the results form listed five different title numbers. Would that be five different buildings like the family house, gardener's cottage, stables, etc.
Comment by AdamH posted on on 07 August Comment by Richard Farrow posted on on 07 August Comment by SallyG posted on on 30 August I am trying to research my property, I know it was built in , but I am looking for purpose, locals have researched it back to early s as a garage so I am looking at the beginning to then?
How do I go about this, as land registry is confusing me as to what I need to request. Comment by AdamH posted on on 31 August SallyG - the registered details start with the register.
So what does the register refer to re dated deeds for example. Was it registered as early as that? Comment by SallyG posted on on 31 August But as it also explains the registered details are often just pieces of the research jigsaw you are trying to create. Often, as properties were not registered as far back as 20s or 50s the registered details are of little assistance. Comment by Jenny posted on on 10 September In a similar vein to Addison homes, these prefabricated homes were built en masse after the second world war.
Properties or significant elements of properties were produced in factories then delivered on-site for connecting to utilities and finishing. Sadly, Airey houses have not stood the test of time and many have been neglected.
The precast concrete systems are now listed in the Housing Defects Act For this and other technical reasons, mortgage companies these days refuse to lend on these properties.
Continuing with the government objectives to deliver affordable houses, many of these properties remain across the UK. Embrace traditional features and characteristics of Victorian and Edwardian properties, but with a modern twist. As well as being quite easily recognisable, tracing the year of construction is usually possible by contacting the developer. Today, modern architecture has taken bold moves spurred by demands for higher environmental standards and the latest design trends.
Over the last decade, the housing shortage has spurred developers to think about ways to return to mass production without compromising on quality standards. Many of these units follow the same architectural features of the s and s, whilst embracing energy efficiency standards. Similar to decades past, much of the pre-fabricated structure is built off-site and transported to development sites to assemble.
Time will tell whether these modular technologies will enable the successful scaled delivery of new homes the country needs, particularly in the south. We hope they do. Another way to get an idea of the era your property was built is to look at the surrounding area. This is likely to be easier in less urbanised areas where property types tend to be more uniform. For instance, some buildings were created for a special purpose…. Does your town have an industrial past? Is your property virtually identical to numerous others — and are the houses positioned in neat rows?
As a result, your property may look different to many around it, suggesting that it was built to replace a home destroyed in the blitz. The building in which you live may have been entirely repurposed. In many cases, features of the old buildings will have been retained for interest — or you may find evidence of their original use if you explore the surrounding land. Otherwise, talking to neighbours and local residents — particularly pub owners and regulars, hoteliers and other individuals with a good grasp of goings-on within the community — may help you to get hold of a few leads.
Whilst only valid for properties built since , Google Maps Street View enables you to see external shots of properties and land over the years. Even if your property was built prior to , it can be useful to virtually explore Street View to see other buildings in the area. In terms of checking recent history, head to Google Maps.
