BTW; did the original poster not see/read/get sight of the title
papers when the house was conveyed?

I am the OP .

In that posting I mentioned that the house was originally a council
house and the earliest date mentioned is when it was transferred to
private owbership in the 1980s.

There is no mention of any date between when the house was built shortly
after the war and when it was transfered to private ownership in the
1980s.

As far as the deeds are concerned, you might imagine that the house
didn't exist before the 80s.
