The most densely inhabited town in the county of Lancashire, Blackpool has been a settlement since the Palaeolithic era and some of its past residents include the Saxons and the Vikings.
Today, Blackpool is one of England’s major seaside towns. Having devoted itself to the pursuit of pleasure, Blackpool has become known as the “Las Vegas of Britain” hosting shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and home to the famous Pleasure Beach and Blackpool Tower.

£300 million is being invested into Blackpool Central, to include even more choice of visitor attractions including the UK’s first flying theatre.

Blackpool Property
Whilst it suffered as so many UK towns did through and following the Covid 19 pandemic, Blackpool is bouncing back.
The local housing market can be described as relatively buoyant and is incredibly good value for money.
It is a buyers’ market, and housing stock is plentiful with hundreds of homes currently listed for sale within a one-mile radius of Blackpool.
Semi-detached homes dominate the market in Blackpool, but it is its “close to centre” terraces that are a popular choice.
Renting before you buy always makes sense, it gives you an insight into the area before you take the leap.
Although the rental market in Blackpool is competitive there are quite a few properties vacant and depending on what you are looking for these are also well-priced.
