5.25 Question 2.4 Year when Housing Unit was Built
Where the building is fully completed, what is required is the year in which the housing unit was completed. There might be cases, however, where the building may not be fully completed in that certain aspects of the construction may still remain to be done. For example, the walls may not have been plastered, the building may not have been painted and even cases where all windows and doors may not have been fitted. In such situations, what would be required would be the year in which the building was first occupied.

Where extensive additions have been made record the year when these additions were completed. In cases of minor additions however, it is the year when the original structure was completed that is required.

The occupier is likely to be surer of the most recent completion dates. For earlier years only an approximate completion date is necessary since a number of years are grouped together for each answer.
