Marton market report FY4, Blackpool
The standing FY4 (Marton) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 25,342 sales registered with HM Land Registry in FY4 (Blackpool) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the middle 2026 sale in FY4 (Blackpool) came in at £155,000, out of 230 registered, up 13% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £164,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,790 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 25,342 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.
FY4 is the postcode district covering Marton, Peel, 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.

The going rate for a home in FY4
230 sales were registered in FY4 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £155,000. The mean works out at £164,000, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
House prices per square metre in FY4
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in FY4 costs about £1,790 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.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts FY4 46% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical FY4 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £155,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 78%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the FY4 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 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.7%). 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 £275,500 against £86,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.9% | +4.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
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 540 FY4 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 1,206 sales a year before the financial crisis and 625 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.
What tenants pay around FY4
The local authority for FY4 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 £155,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in FY
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.

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

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
