10 properties, but only 5 photos. What a pity.
My experience of new-build properties is much the same. The shonkiest of the lot. It was 2000s-built and when I prised off the light switch to put a dimmer on, the wiring wasn't to code.
1st was a flat in Greenwich no idea of date but probably 60s
2nd was a 2 bed house built in 1977 we were the 1st to move in
3rd was 4 bedroom house built in the 50s (lived with my nan who had brought up 8 children)
4th and current 1 bed flat built in 1970

I have only had this happen once, quite recently, between March 2019 and March 2020 when I was 34 at Number 34.
Incidentally the highest-numbered property (168) was where I lived at my lowest age (birth to 3 months).
I didn't think I'd live in many houses at all, but my student/newly graduated years doubled the total!
Not the exact numbers, just lowest, highest (absolute and by % of range in the road), histogram by e.g. 10's or 20's. That would give a sense of which were in culdesacs/small developments and which were on longer roads.
And which ones had broadband (and speeds).

I remember our phone number too, which was Derwent 6304. The Derwent stood for 337, or DER. If you dialled us from outside London, you had to add 01 at the beginning.

Newest: 1970s.
Owned: Two.
Since demolished: Two.
Phone numbers I can remember: Two.
Front and back doors on different floors: Two.
Visited since moving out: Two.
Without a back door: Two.
Without a TV: Three.
Without central heating: Four.
One listed building (brutalist, leaking), two seconds away from the sea, two a few minutes away.
Nicest ones generally built in the 19th century, in England or Scotland.
House numbers (not in chronological order) 9,11,11,22,37,38,39,181,323
All but one in Greater London, and half of those in the SW postal area (including the one I was born in)
One listed building (beautiful actually), 3 seconds away from the river, two a few minutes away.

2 (including the whole year I was aged 2), 132, 1, 12, 15, 6, 120, 11 and (my current home) 7
My son lived in this house for 10 of the 12 months he was aged 7, and my daughter turns 7 in two months time. So both my children will have ticked off "living in the same house number as their age" by their second home.
