Where is Blackburn?
Blackburn is in Lancashire, covering about 13 square miles.
What is the average house price in Blackburn?
The typical asking price in Blackburn is £210,000, across the 227 homes for sale on 16 October 2026. That is the median: half of homes ask more and half ask less, so a few very expensive homes cannot drag it up. Half of listings ask between £130,000 and £297,475. That is 9% below Lancashire. Homes that actually sold in Blackburn went for a median £160,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Blackburn rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Blackburn is up 60% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
How much have house prices in Blackburn changed since 2016?
The median sold price in Blackburn is broadly flat over the last year, up 30% over five years and up 60% since 2016, from £100,000 to £160,000, based on HM Land Registry completed sales in the 12 months to each date. The latest window ends February 2026.
Is Blackburn cheaper than Lancashire?
Yes: asking prices in Blackburn are typically lower than across Lancashire. The median asking price in Blackburn is £210,000 against £230k across Lancashire: 9% below Lancashire. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Semi-detached houses ask as much as or more than Lancashire's.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Every listing we track across estate agents and portals (227 in Blackburn), refreshed daily, as of 16 October 2026. That is most of the market here but not every home, and we add more agents every week. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Blackburn since May 2026.
- Lancashire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Lancashire, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
