Top tips for a Ely Home Buyers Survey
Ely is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire and is rich in history. The cathedral dates back to 1083 but was restored in 1845 and 1870. Akeman Street, a Roman road, passes through the city. The railway arrived in 1845, providing a stimulus to population and housing growth.
There is housing from many different eras in and around the city, some medieval cottages, Georgian and Victorian grand houses and terraces and plenty of properties built in the 20th century, from the municipal building which occurred in the interwar period and post-2nd world war as well as private estates.
Additionally, the city has undergone rapid growth in recent years, with a significant amount of new housing development on its north-western edge, and on a range of other ‘infill’ sites.
New build developments include the modern apartment blocks in St Mary's Court and the detached, semi-detached and terrace houses in Mayfield Close, among others.

Properties built Ely which are in close proximity to the River Great Ouse or are in a large section of the fenland to Ely's west, in streets such as The Dock and West Fen Road, are in an area where flood warnings and alerts are issued from time to time. If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). |
Some properties in Ely are located nearby to existing or proposed sites for wind farms or wind turbines. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Prickwillow Road for example, flagged up that the property was built within 4km of existing or proposed wind farms or turbines. The location of wind farms or turbines can be contentious due to visual and auditory impact. |
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Ely area mainly centre around the main road – Bridge Road A142, and of rail pollution where the railway line crosses The Dock. |
Cambridgeshire is a county in East Anglia and Cambridge is its county town. It has large areas of very low-lying land, known as fenland. Its economy is predominantly agricultural although a large area surrounding Cambridge is concerned with high technology (computing, electronics and biochemistry) and is known as Silicon Fen.There are two universities in the county; the University of Cambridge, which is the second oldest university in the English-speaking world, and the Angela Ruskin University. Cambridge also hosts a regional centre of the Open University. Cambridge is very much the transport hub of the region; its railway station offers connections to many urban destinations and fast, direct services to London. The A10 runs through the city and the M11 runs nearby to it.
Ely Cathedral contains the only Gothic Dome in the world and Holme Fen to the south of Peterborough is the lowest point in Britain (2.75m below sea level). Catherine of Aragon is buried in Peterborough Cathedral.

When should you book in your property defect survey?
It is recommended that you book in your property survey, be it a HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey, around the same time you book in your mortgage valuation.
Booking the inspection to coincide with a few days after you get the decision on your mortgage (the offer) keeps you on track with the process.
Additionally it allows you time to cancel your survey in the unfortunate event of the lender declining your mortgage.
In the event that you are a cash purchaser, it is recommended to have your survey carried out as soon as you can within the process as this will be a deciding factor as to whether you proceed with buying the property or not.
