Default Newly purchased house is Older tha I was told and inspector missed issues

"title insurance should of turned up the age area, since they
supposedly
look bak to the beginning of time for leins "

Yes, they look at any liens on the property. What does that have to do
with when the house was built or renovated by a previous owner? The
title company make sure the seller has clear title to the land, not at
what point in the homes history it was built or renovated You could
buy a pice of land, with or without title insurance, build whenver you
want, rennovate, etc, without the title insurance company knowing
squat. A building permit isn't recorded in the deed. Take a look at
your title insurance and see if it says they warranty that the
representations the seller makes as to the age of the home are valid.
