Ely property market
Ely and Caerau were laid out from the 1920s as garden-suburb council housing, so the stock is overwhelmingly ex-local-authority semis and short terraces, now a mix of right-to-buy owners and private landlords. Values sit well below the Cardiff average, which makes mortgage down-valuations proportionally damaging, and pockets of post-war non-traditional construction still trip up lenders. Original roofs, ageing render and rear extensions without paperwork are the usual survey findings.
