Generally speaking the south east is a hard water area, the exact degree of water hardness can be obtained from your local water company, they will be able to advise you for your individual postcode address.

Can I afford a water softener?

Water softeners were widely thought to be for the commercial market or the wealthy.  Due to mass marketing and more competition between water softener manufactures the price has fallen to where it is more affordable to a wider range of homes.
