Blackpool market report FY
The standing FY (Blackpool) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 173,861 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in the FY postcode area (Blackpool) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the typical home in the FY postcode area (Blackpool) sold for £170,000 in 2026, the median of 1,604 registered sales, up 10% on five years earlier. The mean was £197,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,070 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 173,861 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
The FY postcode area centred on Blackpool covers 8 districts. At this scale the figures average away real local contrasts; the district reports below are the place for anywhere specific.

What a home in FY sells for
Take the 1,604 registered 2026 sales in FY and the middle price, the median, is £170,000. The mean lands at £197,500, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in FY
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in FY costs about £2,070 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, FY runs 40% below it.

| 1996 | £45,000 | £94,903 | 5,591 |
| 1995 | £45,000 | £97,823 | 4,655 |
In cash terms the typical FY home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 74%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the FY median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £293,000 against £113,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

| Semi-detached | £175,000 | 696 | 69,508 |
| Terraced | £125,000 | 426 | 52,276 |

What FY has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in FY
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 3,794 sales completed in FY. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 8,060 sales a year before the financial crisis and 4,129 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around FY
FY falls under Blackpool, the local authority covering most of the FY area (parts fall under Wyre and Fylde, where rents differ), where the ONS puts the average private rent at £704 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £491 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,028, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Blackpool
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £170,000 median sold price, £704 a month is £8,448 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
What you could buy in FY now
Everything above is what homes in FY sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 1,099 homes on the market right now, from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 12% below the FY median sold price.
23% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Low Moor Road, Bispham
- Hudson Road, Blackpool, Blackpool
- Flat 50, Homefylde House 199-207 Whitegate Drive, Blackpool, Blackpool
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in FY: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the FY area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £225,000 | £290,995 (+29%) | £420,000 (+44%) | £603,750 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £150,000 | £160,000 (+7%) | £182,500 (+14%) | £238,500 (+31%) | £310,000 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £105,275 | £117,500 (+12%) | £130,000 (+11%) | £144,475 (+11%) | £193,500 (+34%) |
| Flat | £82,500 | £122,500 (+48%) | £255,000 (+108%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the FY area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.

The spread inside FY matters more than its average. These are its districts with enough sales to measure, priciest first, each with a full report of its own.
