Building Age

🧱 Building Age Index

Topic: Property | Category: Residential | Group: Property Quality**

Description

The Building Age Index measures how new or old a property is.

What the Index Measures

Uses construction year data.

• Higher scores = newer buildings
  
   
• Lower scores = older buildings
  
   

(You can later decide whether to invert this for “heritage value”—but for now we stick with “newer = higher”.)

Numeric Scale & Quality Interpretation

Same scale tiers.

Examples:

• 19/20 = recently built
  
   
• 10/20 = mid-aged
  
   
• 2/20 = very old
  
   

Accuracy: Larger scales show clear differences between properties built a few years apart.

Why Numeric Scales Matter

Age affects:

• maintenance
  
   
• insulation
  
   
• design
  
   
• regulations
  
   
• safety
  
   

Numeric scales make comparisons straightforward.

How This Index Saves You Time
