I can so sympathise on the insulation thing. In decades of occasional visits to the UK (and several years in boarding-school), I think the only decently-insulated building I ever lived or stayed in was a new flat in Canary Wharf, in a building constructed with Hong Kong money, and mostly occupied by Asian finance professionals with standards on this issue.
Yup. I just realised there was a gap under the front door that was letting cold air in, and putting a strip over that has made a big difference. I need to find any other gaps that there are.
I was in a Japanese restaurant in Kyoto one February, in a traditional house, and they had panels of fabric-covered insulation batting put up against the walls of their tatami rooms for the winter.
I can't find any other gaps so far. But bits of the house definitely have less insulation than others. Will be getting it checked out when we have some cash.
