I'm impoverished
but it's not quite that bad. My flat just has very high ceilings and electric heating (which is about as much use as a chocolate teapot) and consequently is very hard to keep warm when it's cold out.

same celings
but proper gas central heating FTW, also in the middle of a block with neighbors above, below and either side helps.

If your place is on the end of a row and too old for cavity wall insulation, that counts for nothing.
I speak from bitter experience.

well this place used to be a Victorian bank
no idea what that means insulation wise but it's warm enough.

Victorians knew how to build properly.

That they did
this is why I like my flat, most of it may be small but the living room is nice and big and the ceilings are so high I cannot reach then if I stand on a chair.
