New Release, Water Hardness Linked to Postcodes

Now available, a detailed dataset linking UK water hardness levels to 1.6M postcodes providing valuable insights for insurance companies and those interested in property. Water hardness, caused by minerals such as calcium and magnesium, directly impacts household plumbing and appliances, influencing insurance claims and maintenance costs.

How this dataset can benefit your organisation:

Insurance Companies:

• Enhanced risk assessment with postcode-specific water hardness information
• Improved prediction and management of claims related to limescale damage
• Opportunity to offer more accurate and competitive premiums, especially in areas with softer water
• Strengthened customer relationships through fair and transparent pricing

Property Professionals (Estate Agents, Surveyors, Developers):

• Better guidance for clients on anticipated maintenance and potential costs
• Greater awareness of preventative measures like water softeners, aiding property valuation
• Strategic use of anti-limescale solutions in new builds, increasing market appeal
• Lower long-term maintenance requirements, boosting property desirability

This precise dataset supports more informed decision-making within the insurance and property sectors, enabling businesses to shift from reactive to proactive management. Incorporating this data into risk assessment models allows for a clearer understanding of potential claims or property damage risks related to blocked pipes, boiler breakdowns, and reduced appliance durability.

With a growing emphasis on sustainability and efficiency, this water hardness dataset linked directly to UK postcodes is an indispensable resource for strategic business planning.
