    1950's, going by a photo from 1948 where the whole neighbourhood was still a field. But evidence of existence in 1959!

    Current house is very new- built in 2014. Previous house was built in the 1890s and before that we owned a flat in a converted early 1800s town house. Quite a contrast.

    1899 and I have all the deeds from when it was built up to the owner one before me, very interesting.

    Our rental house is brand new. We moved in in November.  The one we're buying is six years old, the one we just sold was  42 years old.

    Mine was built mid 60's. Lots of space & storage & lovely big windows as a lot of '60's properties are.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
