The Empress, Apartment 10, 27 Sunbridge Road, Bradford, BD1 2AY

The Empress is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bradford (BD1 2AY). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2025) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 46 m² this is the 5th 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 top.

Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 13% below the 2007 sale of £123,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 23.2% 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 46 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 40 EPCs).
