The Empress, Apartment 15, 27 Sunbridge Road, Bradford, BD1 2AY
About The Empress
The Empress is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bradford (BD1 2AY). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2024) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 69 m² this is the 35th 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 £117,000 is 32% below the 2007 sale of £172,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. It hasn't traded since July 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. At 69 m² it's 23.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 40 EPCs).
