In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the history of the houses or building they live in. What is the reason for this? How can people research on this?
Nowadays, a higher number of
people
are finding it more interesting to know about their houses´ background. This
essay will explore possible reasons
behind it and the way people
can investigate their history.
Considering firstly
the reasons
why people
like to find the houses´ past, I believe that it could be due to
curiosity about the space they are about to buy and, also
, for pecuniary reasons
. In the first instance, the housing market is, these days, going through a stage where not enough new houses are being built, so when someone wants to acquire one, it is more likely that they are going to buy an old one, which needs to be refurbished. This
results in an inherent curiosity about its past and history. Similarly
, when an owner wants to put their house
on sale, if they previously know that, for instance
, a king had lived there, this
announcement makes the house
more valuable.
Furthermore
, using the library's old history books might be the best way to explore the background of the buildings. Many times the books reveal the past of a city or village and who were their inhabitants, mentioning as well the related centuries. Additionally
, actual owners
can ask the previous owners
, neighbours or the estate agency as they might also
know the historical period of the house
. Lastly
, google research can equally be done, with limited accuracy as online information is not always verified, thereby, not always truthful.
In conclusion, owing to the lack of new houses in the market, the majority of them are now old and ready to be refurbished, for
this
reason
Add the comma(s)
,reason
people
feel the curiosity to know more about it. Moreover
, for financial reasons
, a house
can see its asking price soaring if it is found that it had a historical past. In order to finalise their investigation, owners
are advised to use official sources like the library, neighbours, previous owners
or by googling.Submitted by ana.lpsmachado on
