I'm game if you're serious :-D

Ours has a very high air tightness rating as I guess most new builds do and it just means that heat builds up and up and up. Couple that with being always in the sun - no other houses or trees blocking the house - and it's really fucking warm.

I am, just need to work out some time and methods. I've seen from your posts here and there, and while your attitude is "as new builds do" and sure the specific site conditions don't help (no shade) but in my head I'm thinking "surely that's not typical?" Or more worryingly, if it is.

You might be right. I have a three floor wall that is completely in the sun from sun up to about 2pm that acts as a heat sink. Definitely causes that side of the house (living room, nursery, wife's office and spare room) to heat up rapidly and above the rest of the house, well into the afternoon.
