Ha this.
We live in one, none of the buildings are fancy, its just that there is a lot of them and nothing >1950 in sight. So not allowed now to change to anything but sliding sash, you are allowed double glazed but must be in wood frames! Since approx 2016
Would kind of get it if 80% of the street isn't already a total mix of white/green/brown, UPVC double casement, tilt and turn, wooden single glaze casement, some original ones and some original ones that have been taken apart and double glazing unit let into them, then totally rebuilt at massive cost (a £1k per window probably). So nothing in the street matchs and hasn't for likely 40+ years, so why now are they putting restrictions on staying warm and using less energy to heat? Mental. -
Partners place is (built 1853) in a conservation area.
Part of the reason for moving is the cost of heating/insulation in the future.
a heat pump will do bugger all in a place like that. Not that you would be allowed to fit one anyway.

first thing on the list when we move is aluminium triple glazing/low-e glass and a stainless/composite front door.
Sash windows belong in the last century.
