Living in Blackpool

Getting around

Blackpool Council says the town's railway lines give direct trains to London, Preston, Manchester, York and Liverpool. Blackpool North is the main station, in the town centre, and Blackpool South has step free access to all platforms. The tram runs the length of the seafront, and if you have a NoWcard bus pass and live in Blackpool you also travel free on the whole tram route.

Schools

Blackpool Council handles school places. Applications for secondary school usually close on 31 October and for primary school on 15 January, and if you move to Blackpool during the school year you apply using the council's in year form. A rental agreement can be used as proof of your new address. You can read any school's Ofsted report and compare schools on GOV.UK.

Doctors and dentists

Registering with a GP is free, and you don't need ID or proof of address. Use the NHS to find a GP or find a dentist near your new home.

Council tax and bins

For 2026/27 Blackpool's council tax is £1,675.48 a year for a Band A home, including the police and fire amounts, before any discount. You can check any home's band on GOV.UK, and if you think it's wrong you can ask for a review, especially in your first six months. Every household on wheeled bins gets a kitchen caddy and an outdoor food bin, and it's worth checking your bin day on the council's website when you move in.

Parks and the seafront

Marton Mere is a council local nature reserve and a site of special scientific interest for its birds. Bispham Cliff Tops, on the seafront, is open every day with a children's play area and a picnic area, and Stanley Park, which opened in 1926, covers around 390 acres.

Questions people ask

How can I rent one of your homes in Blackpool?

Join our waiting list and choose Blackpool. When one of our homes there becomes available, we'll email you with the details and how to arrange a viewing. We use the same published checklist for everyone, including household income of at least 3 times the monthly rent from all sources, benefits included.

Do you welcome children, people on benefits and pets?

We never refuse anyone because they have children or receive benefits, and since 1 May 2026 that is also the law for landlords in England. Pets are considered case by case.

How much is the deposit, and is it protected?

By law, a tenancy deposit is capped at five weeks' rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000. We protect deposits with the Deposit Protection Service within 30 days, as the law requires.

How long is the tenancy?

Since 1 May 2026 every private tenancy in England rolls on with no end date. If you decide to move on, you give two months' notice in writing.

Do I need a guarantor?

Only if you need one to meet our income check. A guarantor should earn at least 2.5 times the rent and have a good credit record. They don't need to own their home.
