A postcode sector like FY1 4 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.

FY1 4 sold prices: where the market stands
23 sales were registered in FY1 4 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £115,000. The mean works out at £120,200, practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
House prices per square metre in FY1 4
The last five years of sales put FY1 4 at roughly £1,240 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so FY1 4 trades 60% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical FY1 4 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £115,000 in 2026, roughly 3.2 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 47%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 41% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the FY1 4 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 2025 (+44.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−19.0%). 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) | −6.1% | −8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.2% | −2.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in FY1 4
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 23 FY1 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 262 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the FY1 4 market
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes FY1 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
Rents around FY1 4
The local authority for FY1 4 is Blackpool, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £704 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£704 a month is £8,448 a year, which against the £115,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in FY: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the FY area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £225,000 | £290,995 (+29%) | £420,000 (+44%) | £603,750 (+44%) |

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.
