Term: Effective Age of Houses

Glossary Definition

Last Updated: 2006-01-18

Definition:

The year in which the dwelling was built. Occasionally, where major renovations, alterations and/or additions have altered the original dwelling to such an extent that the original year of construction no longer accurately reflects the dwelling's age (i.e. fire, gut and refurbish), then the original year of dwelling construction has been modified to reflect these major renovations.
