Blackpool Town Centre market report FY1, Blackpool
The standing FY1 (Blackpool Town Centre) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 20,221 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in FY1 (Blackpool) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 136 registered 2026 sales put the FY1 (Blackpool) median at £115,000, up 18% on five years earlier, with a mean of £120,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,250 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 20,221 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
FY1 is the postcode district covering Blackpool Town Centre, North Shore, South Shore in Blackpool. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Today's FY1 prices, from the sold record
In the FY1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £115,000, from 136 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £120,400, sitting almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.
Price per square metre in FY1
Per square metre, FY1 homes have averaged around £1,250 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so FY1 trades 60% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical FY1 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £115,000 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 51%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 35% 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 FY1 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.8%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 67% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £231,500 against £90,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +13.9% | +11.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.8% | −1.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 304 FY1 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 1,198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 347 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.
The rental side of FY1
For renting purposes FY1 sits in Blackpool. The ONS average private rent there is £704 a month (May 2026). 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 £115,000 median sold price, £704 a month is £8,448 a year, a gross yield of 7.3%: 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.
How FY1 trades
FY1 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| 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%) |

| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
