The Empress, Apartment 7, 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 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 64 m² this is the 29th 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. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 is 18.8% below the 2007 sale of £160,000, 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 (£232/sq ft) was about 15.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since June 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
