Not too bad tobes, Georgian sash windows take a bit of looking after/painting etc..
When I stripped the hall of about 13 layers of plaster I came across a pencil drawing of a Swan and underneath the date:1891. Apparently craftsmen in those days used to like to sign and date their work.
My mummy and daddy's cottage is nearly two hundred years old.
Beautiful building it is.
Much better than my modern gaff.

1930s before that 1840s The joists in the attic were constructed without nails just dovetail joints.
1875 - random stone gable end is a terrible to re point ( lime mix )
1965
good quality
better than the crap that gets built nowadays, these builders would do anything to save money

PF, quite the contrary in our case, it's a 1930 house which we've just extended. Current building regs meant we needed foundations twice as deep as the existing ones, with a thick concrete base and massive insulation. The old house is just a skin of floorboards, on piles of bricks which are on comparitvely shallow foundations. When the balloon goes up, I'm hiding in our new bog.
1935 Piece of sh1t it is. Can't wait to get another one.
100 next year. :)

THERE WAS NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE WITH MY MAMS HOUSE
looking at replies it seems houses were built well in the 60's 70's era. I live in an end terraced ex council property in a quiet area of wakefield. I paid 125,000 for the house which is extremely well built and solid, there were some asbestos issues but ive had the soffits changed etc and got rid of the asbestos. I would never buy one of the new builds around the wakefield area especially the terraced or flat type properties with walls as thin as a sheet of paper.
Flat in a listed converted Victorian hospital. Was converted c1990.
Part of my dad's place is 16th-century though.

ken masters, I don't know about building regs regarding foundation, I do hope there are stringent rules when it comes to foundation nowadays!
but as for what outofbounds has said about walls being paper thin in new houses these days, I can agree with him on that matter
I know my walls are solid
