Blackpool property market: common questions

Where is Blackpool?

Blackpool is in Lancashire, covering about 15 square miles.

What is the average house price in Blackpool?

The median asking price across the 1,002 homes for sale in Blackpool is £156,250 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £107,125 and £218,000. That is 32% below Lancashire. Homes that actually sold in Blackpool went for a median £140,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Blackpool 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 Blackpool is up 37% 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.

Is Blackpool cheaper than Lancashire?

Yes: asking prices in Blackpool are typically lower than across Lancashire. The median asking price in Blackpool is £156,250 against £230k across Lancashire: 32% below Lancashire. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How many homes are for sale in Blackpool?

1,002 homes are on the market in Blackpool right now, 230 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

Are house prices being cut in Blackpool?

146 listings in Blackpool had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 15% of the homes currently for sale.

How much do flats and houses cost in Blackpool?

The median asking price for a flat in Blackpool is £90,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is semi-detached houses, at a median £184,975 across 304 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Blackpool?

The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Blackpool is £99,950, across 105 current listings.

How much is a three-bedroom house in Blackpool?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Blackpool is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £182,500 across 206 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Blackpool?

In Blackpool, homes that sold went for a median £159 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £167 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,002 in Blackpool), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. 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 Blackpool 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.
