When was my house built?

21st February 2023

Property in the UK typically ranges from hundreds of years old to brand new. How old is yours?

Introduction

If you're a homeowner or considering purchasing a property, it can be useful to know the property’s age.

Knowing the age of a property is crucial for planning renovations, marketing for sale, and in many cases for accurately estimating the property value

Fortunately there are several sets of data which can help provide this information and they are easily accessible in Bricks&Logic.

Available data

Bricks&Logic uses a combination of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and Land Registry data alongside many other data sources to provide an accurate overview of every possible property.

  - EPC Data: Provides valuable information on a property's energy efficiency and is required for all homes being sold or rented in the UK. As part of the EPC process, an assessor typically notes the age of the property, as well as any major renovations or upgrades.

  - Land Registry: A government database that records details of property ownership and transactions in the UK. Newbuild sales are marked and we can then know exactly when the property was built.
