The Empress, Apartment 12, 27 Sunbridge Road, Bradford, BD1 2AY
About The Empress
The Empress is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bradford (BD1 2AY). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Main heating runs on electricity. At 56 m² this is the 20th 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 across 41 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 is 25.5% below the 2007 sale of £153,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£254/sq ft) was about 25.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
