Blackpool Council is a unitary authority on the Fylde coast, separate from Lancashire County Council. Neighbouring Fylde and Wyre are district councils within Lancashire.
We work with Blackpool landlords from our office in Watford. If you own a converted house or flats in the town, we'll be honest about whether a guaranteed rent provider is likely to lease it.
Can I lease my property to the council or a housing association in Blackpool?
Yes. Through Social Ready you lease to a vetted guaranteed rent provider, such as a housing association, council or supported housing provider. The local authority in Blackpool is Blackpool Council.
You sign a lease with that organisation; you are not renting to the council's tenants directly, and the organisation is responsible for the people who live in the home. We vet and financially check every provider before we introduce them.

HMOs can suit supported-living providers who house several people in one home. You deal with one leaseholder instead of individual room lets.
In England, an HMO let to 5 or more people forming 2 or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence from the council, and councils can run additional licensing for smaller HMOs. Check with Blackpool Council whether additional or selective licensing applies to your address.
