Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Maldon: Living Costs
Cost of Living
Living costs in Tolleshunt D'Arcy are mixed. Utilities and council tax are cheaper than the UK average, but transport and groceries cost significantly more, which pushes your total monthly spending above many comparable areas.

Transport is where your costs jump. At £180 a month, it's nearly double the UK average of £103. This is a rural village with limited public transport, so you'll need a car. Groceries are also pricey at £280 compared to £224 nationally.
If you're a landlord, those transport costs matter. They'll likely limit how many tenants want to live here and affect the rents you can charge.
