A friend of mine is trying to discover exactly when her house was built.

The deeds don't help as it originally was a local authority house and
the deeds only start when it was sold to the private sector.

It's obvious that it was built somewhere around 1945-1950

Is there a simple way to date the house more accurately ? than that ?

Go to the library and look for street directories - there should be one
for each year. That should also tell you who lived in the house, and for
how long (until they stopped publishing, or the library stopped buying).
If they're not there, ask; in our case, some of the years are kept in
another library eight miles away, although they don't relate to that
area...go figure!
