Blackpool Town Centre market report FY1 2, Blackpool
The FY1 2 (Blackpool Town Centre) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 4,681 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in FY1 2 (Blackpool) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 28 registered 2026 sales put the FY1 2 (Blackpool) median at £95,500, down 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £111,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,250 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,681 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like FY1 2 is a single group of streets within FY1 (Blackpool), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's FY1 2 prices, from the sold record
Take the 28 registered 2026 sales in FY1 2 and the middle price, the median, is £95,500. The mean lands at £111,000, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in FY1 2
Measured by floor area, the last five years of FY1 2 sales average about £1,250 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so FY1 2 trades 66% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical FY1 2 home went from £35,800 in 1995 to £95,500 in 2026, roughly 2.7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 23%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 44% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the FY1 2 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 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−19.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.9% | −12.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.1% | −6.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | −0.2% | −2.9% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
FY1 2 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 278 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the FY1 2 market
This is a thin market: 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within FY1, this sector trades 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around FY1 2
For renting purposes FY1 2 sits in Blackpool. The ONS average private rent there is £704 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £491 a month here against £1,028 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Blackpool
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £95,500 median purchase price, a rent of £704 a month (£8,448 a year) works out at a 8.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

How much did a house sell for in FY1 2 (Blackpool Town Centre)?
Are property prices falling in FY1 2 (Blackpool Town Centre)?
Is FY1 2 (Blackpool Town Centre) a good place to buy a house?
Where do FY1 2 prices go next?

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
FY1's current homes for sale

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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: FY prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the FY area, 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%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
