Buying a house at the moment and have come across a bit a problem. How does one go about finding the age of house (for getting the house insurance) ?

The valuation puts it down at 61-100 years, but the insurance company want an exact figure....

Your solicitor might well be able to help find this information on the deeds.

the deeds only go back to 1990 ... the house is a "tad" older than that....
 
I've no technical knowledge of these matters, but don't the deeds (by definition) have to go back to when the property was built? Otherwise how can you prove that you actually own the house?
