Myself and my partner bought a flat a year ago and winter has been miserable. It’s a terraced ground-floor flat and it’s an older flat, not a new build. Even with the heating on for hours we’re freezing. Radiators are fine, boiler heat is at 68.

The kitchen and living room are connected but with no door to separate them, we have a French door in our bedroom that the previous owner had installed and the handle is covered in wet condensation in the mornings. It’s just so cold and miserable and we’re not sure what to do. I’ve been running a dehumidifier to help with excess moisture.

Maybe we need to accept that it’s always going to be cold in winter? We have electric blankets and hot water bottles but waking up freezing every morning is really not pleasant. I just want a warm cozy home.
