Why buy a home in Blackpool?
Blackpool is best known as a seaside resort in Lancashire and is well-known for its tower, an homage to the Eiffel Tower, and pier, as well as its theme parks and numerous arcades and cafes. It took off as a town and resort in the mid-18th century, before which it was a hamlet. Access was enabled by a newly-built private road via stagecoaches, particularly from nearby Manchester.
Its expansion and popularity were further assisted by the arrival of the railway in the 1840s and the Industrial Revolution in general, which was a highly-marked feature in England's North West because the new and expanding workforce wished to develop their leisure time by taking seaside holidays.
Blackpool remains the most popular seaside resort in the UK and its Winter Gardens regularly host conferences from political parties and trade unions, among other organisations. It is the location of festivals of many different types, ranging from its Air Show to its Country Music Festival and its Punk Rock Rebellion Festival. Other major landmarks, interests and attractions include the Nort Pier, the Grand Theatre, the Sea Life Centre, the Louis Tussauds Wax Works, Sandcastle Water Park and Stanley Park.

Blackpool is within a relatively short distance of the M55, for access to the UK's motorway network. Other trunk roads serving the town include the A583, the A587 the A586 and the A584 for travel to locations such as Preston, Fleetwood, Lancaster and Lytham St Annes.
The town famously has its own tram service, one of the oldest in the world dating back to 1885, connecting it along the beachside up to Fleetwood. Various railway stations, including Blackpool North and Blackpool South serve the town. Blackpool North has some direct services to London Euston, however travel to major conurbations in Great Britain in general, at most, requires a single change at either Preston or Liverpool Lime Street.

1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false starts.
2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting until your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. An online service reduces snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.
3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
You can submit your application as soon as your offer is accepted. An independent broker can help speed this along.
4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.
5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.
6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Lancashire is a county in the north-west of England, whose administrative centre is Preston. Its history dates back to the 12th century and, curiously, some of its lands were originally treated as being part of Yorkshire in the Domesday Book of 1086. The county borders Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.
The county particularly came to prominence during the Industrial Revolution, with Liverpool and Manchester growing into its major cities, whose economies expanded as a result of the trade from the docks and the cotton mills respectively. By the 1830s, a massive 85% of all cotton manufactured worldwide was processed in Lancashire. Cotton mill towns which developed from this economy include Accrington, Blackburn, Bolton, Burnley, Bury, Chorley, Colne, Darwen, Manchester, Nelson, Oldham, Preston, Rochdale and Wigan.
The main motorway in the area is the M6 but other motorways, such as the M55, M65, M61, M66, M62 and M58 also run through it. The county has international airports like Manchester Airport, the third busiest in the UK and Liverpool John Lennon Airport. These cities are also excellent transport hubs in general and their main train stations (Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Piccadilly) offer fast access to other major British conurbations as well as to a host of other locations.
The county has many universities including, for example, the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Manchester Metropolitan University, the University of Bolton, the University of Law, the University of Manchester, the University of Salford, UMIST and Preston University.
There are at least four professional orchestras, including The Hallé, which is the UK's oldest symphony orchestra and is based at the Bridgwater Hall. The Manchester Arena, which hosts more than 21,000, is the largest indoor arena in Europe and has been voted the most popular venue in the world. Landmarks include the Blackpool Tower, the Ashton Memorial, Rivington Pike and King Street Mill. Other attractions include Morecambe Bay, the Ribble Steam Railway, Blackpool Zoo and Camelot Theme Park. Lancashire has given many gems to cuisine such as Eccles Cakes, Ormskirk gingerbread, 'savoury ducks', black peas and bury black pudding. It would take many more words to detail how important the county has been musically, whether regarding folk music (for example the number of ballads emanating from the county, take 'The Ballad of Chevy Chase) or contemporary music (the Beatles and many more).
**Our panel of solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and conveyancing work is accredited with the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme.

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Blackpool using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned, these may recommend that you book additional searches. These can include a specialist Radon Risk Report, for example.
Radon is a natural radioactive gas, which enters buildings from the ground. It is the geological conditions in certain areas that can lead to higher than average volumes - some of the highest radon levels have been found in the South West. The gas is diluted to harmless levels out in the open but has the potential to build up to higher concentrations indoors.
