    You should go the office of the Municipal corporation / Government and to the department of residential buildings.

    Carry the exact name and registration number of the society , It will be on the house purchase papers if you purchasaed it legally. The registrion of property office there should have a record


    With the registration number you can search it even on the internet if you are in US, UK or developed countries, I think .

    Here's a trick I learned a while back. Lift the lid off the toilet tank. There should be a manufacure date on the inside wall of the tank. That date will probably be only a few months before the toilet was installed. If the toilet hasn't been replaced--and you can usually find out or tell if they have--that will give you a pretty good fix on the construction date.

    The previous answers are great if the property is fairly modern but if, like me, your house dates back 400 years or more then you need to get a copy of registration from the Land Registry office in your area - this costs around £25 and gives you a lot of information (not just the earliest date that it was registered) but who lived there before etc. Very interesting stuff. Hope this helps. Suzanne

    You might want to check your property tax assement information. If you are the second or third owner of the property you might be able to see when the original owner moved in.

    Also you can look up that information in your local govt public records. If you do a title search on your property you can see who owned it in the past and possibly find the original permit information.

    One thing that is always reliable as well is to find out from your neighbors. Regardless of where you live there is always someone who either lived in the neighborhood from the very beginning when it was first created or they are an aire to the original owner of the house..

    Check the materials that built your house. houses built in the 40s and 50s, contain much better building materials, than that of today. ask an elderly neighbor. check with your local electricity and water provider. they will have the date that utilities were first applied to your house. good luck.
