About The Empress
The Empress is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bradford (BD1 2AY). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Main heating runs on electricity. At 59 m² this is the 24th 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 £137,000 is 19.4% below the 2007 sale of £170,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 32.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
