@Dramatic_Hammer It's okayish I think. We're in a terrace and the front and rear walls are double skin with a small cavity apparently, although i'm skeptical about that to be honest.
Sash windows can be a tad drafty but they're all new wood-framed double-glazed units and we got have shutters on the lower two floors. Blinds and curtains only on the top-two.
Got a decent new boiler and plenty of insulation in the eaves and attic. Current gas and electric costs are manageable. The one that's killing me is the water which is on a meter currently costing £90 a month. A lot of that is that I went a bit mad watering a new garden and lawn over spring and summer before I realized we were on a meter. Whoops.

£90 a month for water! That's crazy. I think we pay about £20 in london's famous lambeth

Oh shit, we're on a water meter too but I haven't had a bill yet. You're lucky on the window front, we have original single-pane sashes that are pretty rattly and probably draughty. Got quotes for 'weatherproofing' and refurbing that are at least double what we'd budgeted for improvements there.

How is the running cost working out so far?
Our detached victorian energy costs have been very reasonable so far but obviously it's not that cold yet.
