The Empress, Apartment 1, 27 Sunbridge Road, Bradford, BD1 2AY

The Empress is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bradford (BD1 2AY). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 65 m² this is the 31st smallest of 41 units on EPC record in The Empress, where floor areas span 36–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 30.3% below the 2007 sale of £165,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 17% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 65 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 40 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
