county tax records. Some older house don't have deeds they were built at cost, no morgages, but taxes is something that you always pay. |

The title deeds will tell you when the property was built. Also, if the house has certain features, i.e victorian fireplaces, cornices etc that should give you an indication of when the property was buit. |

Cut it open and count the rings. ;)
Check with a local realtor...they might be able to point you in the right direction. That information was made available to me when I was in the process of purchasing my house. |

Here is a link to an excellent "WikiHow" article entitled "How to Research the History of Your House":
http://www.wikihow.com/research-the-hist...
It offers step-by-step instructions and advice and is fairly thorough. I recommend it as a good place to start.
Good luck with your search for your home's history. |

You should be able to tell roughly from looking at it what period it was built in. If the owner does not know, then the local council will.
If you have the deeds of course the date they were drawn up will tell you. |

you could look at the structure of the house. inside wiring if possible. some house which used aluminum wiring are mostly like built in 1979.
also, try county office for it's permit. you can find out if previous owners did anything to the house or what not.
when I was looking for a house and I checked in with county's planning department and got the floor plan of the house that I was interested in. it really tells me a lot of things when looking thru the plans and permits. you will be amazed. |

First I would ask the owner, or perhaps get the address and zip code and type it in here: http://www.zillow.com/ and see if it comes up, last but not least your county's property assessment division has this information as a matter of public record. |

If you are buying a house it is something that the Realtor has to tell you. They usually have a sheet that they get and give to you when your looking at the house it is the information from the County tax roll office and it is public information that you can also look up your self. |
