The house has a history of ten years.

1. The house has a history of ten years.

I’d like to know if both of the sentences below have the same meaning as Sentence 1.

2. It is ten years since the house has been built.
3. The house has been built for ten years.

None of your sentences is natural. Try: The house was built ten years ago.

 

[diamondcutter]

Thanks, 5jj.

Is this sentence correct?

The building of the house has been over for ten years.

 

[tedmc]

It is not natural.

More simply: The house is ten years old.

 

[diamondcutter]

Thanks, Tedmc.

The house has been built for ten years.

I’d like to know if this sentence means:
1. The house is ten years old.
Or
2. The process of the house’s building has been ten years.

Thanks, Tedmc.

The house has been built for ten years.

I’d like to know if this sentence means:
1. The house is ten years old.
Or
2. The process of the house’s building has been ten years.

The problem is that "The house has been built for ten years" wouldn't be used.

We know that Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família is still being built. People began to build it in 1882. Can I say this?
Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família has been built for 139 years.

 

[5jj]

No, but you could say that it has been being built for 139 years.

Most people wouldn't.

 

[Rover_KE]

You could say that the house has been under construction for ten years.

The overall meaning of each sentence is the same, yet I think that you would use them in different situations if you had more context.
1. The house has a history of ten years.
Sounds rather dramatic and ten years is not much of a history, therefore a bit forced. "The house has a history of 200 years" sounds more normal to me.
2. It is ten years since the house has been built.
Leads me to think there's some follow up clause after it.
"It is ten years since the house has been built, yet it is still empty". It sounds more like an interesting news report.
3. The house has been built for ten years.
This one is maybe the strangest of the three.
I would just say that the house had been built ten years ago to avoid confusion of whether or not it is still being built.
That's my 2 cents anyways.

The house has been built for ten years.

I don't think this is an example of unnatural language. It can work in its proper context.

It means that the building happened ten years ago. In other words, it has been standing for ten years.
