When was this built?

When was this built? As in which era?
And is it a local authority house or a historical private development?

I’d say 70’s private development

Private development, late 70s/80s

I would say late 1960’s / 1970’s

Private Development

70s

It looks like a 1970s private development to me.

Late 60s

Agreeing with everyone else!

Thanks! Anything to look out for if looking at a purchase?

Agree 70s private.

Another vote for 70s private

70s

I lived in a house just like that when I was growing up! Built in 1967, private development.

Should have decent sized rooms and garden for that era , get a survey to be safe ,
Loads you can do to change the curb side view without breaking the bank , render , wood instead of the tile

Late 70s. Will need to check electrics, heating system and insulation. Looks nice , it was an era before rooms became tiny. If it has been well maintained there shouldnt be any major problems as building issues will have shown up/been resolved many tears ago

Get an asbestos survey. There might be some if it's not been renovated much.

70's.
look at ceilings polysterene not allowed anymore.
Check soffats. They may need replacing.
I wouldn't imagine there would be anything major like a period property.

Agree looks 70s private development
Check when the flat roof was last replaced, their lifespan is much shorter than a normal roof (might be only 10 years or so depending on the material)

Tiled section on front wall likely poorly insulated.

Is say early 60s. 70s is usually a different.

You should be aware technically it Could be considered cross wall construction - ie only the two end gables are cavity brick walls. The front and rear behind the tile hanging is likely timber frame

But I personally love these style of houses. Light and airy and BIG bedroom sizes - the master bedroom is usually bigger than a king size and usually the second bedroom 2

My house looks a lot like that. Late 60's on a small private estate.

I live in a house like that - it was built 1979

I live in a similar house built 1963. There is asbestos in integral garage roof and neighbours whose houses were less updated than mine have it inside.

As pp says the tiled part is highly likely to be timber frame with no insulation, just the tiles outside and plasterboard inside. This type of construction limits the possibilities of doing a loft extension if that were in your plans.

Mid 60s to mid 70s. By the 80s picture windows were out of fashion.

I had a house that looked like this. Absolutely freezing in cold weather. Due to the massive windows front and back. Cost a bomb to heat.

Plus that tile decor unusually covers ugly breeze block. Not sure if that will have a cavity so another place heat escapes.

But I love the architecture of the 70s burbs. Whenever I see them I have visions of when these estates were new and clean and filled with first home owners who must have loved having a garden and not living in a back to back.
