Questions people ask

Is Tendring safe?

Police recorded about 84.2 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, higher than East of England as a whole (68.2). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.

How much do homes cost in Tendring?

Homes sold for a typical £3,300 per m² in the year to August 2026, lower than East of England as a whole (£3,950 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £230,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.

How many schools are there in Tendring?

There are 39 state primary and 6 state secondary schools inside Tendring's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
