In December 2024, The Telegraph published an article about why London landlords were flocking to the Blackpool. It is paywalled but the gist was that the rental yield is double the amount achievable in London.

BBC News published this article last month: BBC – Blackpool tourist numbers on the rise 19.03.25

When you consider the low purchase price and the high yield, as well as the amazing location, you can see this is a great opportunity to receive a steady long-term income for a low outlay.

The location

There is a lot more to Blackpool than the annual illuminations, ballroom dancing, donkey rides and kiss-me-quick hats!

Despite challenges from foreign holidays, Blackpool continues to be a popular seaside destination. Tourism in the town supports 25,000 full-time equivalent jobs – one in five of the workforce. In 2023, the town was named the nation’s best-value holiday destination.

In 2021, 18.8 million visitors contributed £1.5 billion to the local economy, making Blackpool the nation’s biggest seaside resort. In 2022 the resort attracted a further 1.5 million visitors – a total figure of 20.33 million, contributing £1.7bn to the local economy. With added complexities in travelling to Europe and warmer summers, the popularity will continue.

People travel to Blackpool from all across the UK for long weekends, stag and hen parties, or just a fun break at a reasonable cost.

It offers a family friendly environment. with a bit of British tradition.

This Lancashire town has excellent amenities, above average levels of employment, and easy connectivity from many areas.

The town has also benefitted from government grants as part of its regeneration with in excess of £1bn being spent in the area to upgrade everything from the illuminations to a museum, from the airport regeneration zone to a large new shopping centre, sports facilities and much more. Plus, lovely countryside outside of the town itself.

How to buy

Unlike most properties where non-residents need to put down an initial deposit of around 30%, you can buy these apartment with a deposit of only 10% of the purchase price. A payment of just £12,999.

You then pay the remainder of the deposit over the next 30 months from just £1,349.95 each month (AED 6,320).

After this time, you will have paid 30% and would only need to pay or borrow the remaining 70% at completion.

The payment period will decrease before too long but get in now and keep the payments at this low level.

The price is fixed from reservation and, with healthy capital growth forecast in the north west of England, you can benefit from an uplift in the property value long before you complete the purchase.

Any other low deposit options to invest in UK property?

Yes, several options. All of which only need initial deposits of 5% or 10% with regular monthly payments making it much easier to get on the UK property ladder. You can pay a higher deposit if required and we have flexibility.
