Summary - Flat 218, Sunbridge Halls, 178 Sunbridge Road, BRADFORD BD1 2HF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable city-centre buy-to-let with secure entry and immediate income potential.
Price fixed at £30,000 — low entry cost for investors
Currently let at £500pcm; tenancy runs to 09/06/2026
Leasehold with ~139 years remaining (long lease)
Service charge c. £1,365.75 pa; ground rent £300 pa
EPC rating C; council tax Band A (low)
Electric room heaters only; no central heating
Compact studio with low ceilings and potential damp issues
Very high local crime and high area deprivation — factor for lettings
A compact, city-centre studio presented as an open-plan living, kitchen and bedroom area with shower ensuite. The building offers secure fob entry, 24-hour CCTV and lift access, making it practical for lettings and single-occupant use. Current tenancy in place at £500 pcm until June 2026, providing immediate rental income for an investor buyer.
Running costs and constraints are important to note: the property relies on electric room heaters (no communal gas or central heating), the service charge is substantial at about £1,365.75 pa and ground rent is £300 pa. The building is an older system-built conversion with assumed lack of wall insulation and the internal space is small with low ceilings; damp potential and dated finishes are mentioned and may need attention.
This is a clear buy-to-let or starter-buy opportunity for someone seeking a low entry price in Bradford city centre. The long lease (around 139 years remaining) and EPC rating C are positives, while the very high local crime level and area deprivation should factor into letting strategy and tenant selection. The flat suits investors looking for affordable yield or a single occupant prepared to accept compact accommodation and some maintenance works.
