What kind of an appraiser are you. You need to find the original 1st deed to have in you work file, for an accurate age. This is the 1st time i have heard you taking a short cut.Here I find few assessors know how old a house was, some might note when it was last remodeled. Thus, they apply the effective observed age (a guess) as the actual age. Sometimes the agent knows better.
I believe our city hall has all the original deeds stored somewhere. Some time back someone was stealing the revolutionary times deeds and selling them. Obviously was a good payday. However, they did it too many times and got caught.
