About Central Blackpool & FY3 Corridor (FY3, Blackpool)

FY3 attracts property investors seeking strong rental yields, with a consistent 6.0% gross yield across the area. Entry-level property prices average £137,531, making this an accessible market for portfolio builders and first-time landlords looking to establish cash-flowing assets.
