Yes, Weybourne is safe, and slightly dull about it. Crime runs well below the Waverley average. Hardly anyone is out of work. Almost nobody is squeezed into a house too small for them. Safe isn't thrilling, and it isn't meant to be.
Police records for the year to May 2026 put Weybourne's published crime rate at about 39 incidents per 1,000 residents, roughly 14% below the average for Waverley as a whole. That rate covers 454 recorded crimes over the twelve months. Not zero, because no postcode in the country manages zero, but the kind of total that gets discussed at the parish level rather than the national one.
Set side by side, the numbers are plain: about 39 per 1,000 in Weybourne against about 46 per 1,000 across Waverley. The borough itself isn't a hotbed, so sitting under its average is a quiet result in a quiet county. Buyers who arrive expecting to need a second deadlock tend to spend the first year wondering what they were worried about.
The texture of the place fits those numbers. Weybourne has around 3,640 people per square kilometre, which is suburban density rather than town-centre crush. Unemployment stands at about 2%, and about 2% of households are overcrowded. It's a neighbourhood of owner-occupied semis and detached houses, with the spare room still spare.
On the mix, violence and sexual offences made up about 42% of recorded crime in Weybourne, against about 35% nationally. That heading sounds worse than it reads: it's a broad legal grouping that includes common assault without injury, and it's the largest category almost everywhere. Anti-social behaviour came to about 16%, level with the national 16%. Public order accounted for about 8% against 7% nationally, other theft about 8% against 7%, vehicle crime about 6% against 5%, and shoplifting about 6% against 8%. The totals here are small, and a handful of incidents can shift any of these shares by several points, so this is a snapshot of one year, not a settled profile of the place. Anyone quoting the violence share on a residents' forum without that caveat is doing what scary-summary writers always do.
What happens after a report is a separate question, and it's a force-wide one. Surrey Police charges a suspect in about 11% of cases, against about 12% nationally, which places it 30th of 42 forces. About 36% of its cases close with no suspect identified at all. None of that measures how safe Weybourne is. It measures what happens next, and the honest answer is that most reported crime in Surrey, like most of it in England and Wales, does not end in a charge. Lock the shed accordingly.
Safety is one of Weybourne's real strengths: a lower rate than the borough around it, in a neighbourhood with little of the pressure that tends to push those numbers up. The alarm on the front wall is mostly decoration here, and most residents know it.
