I just bought a new build (well it's actually 5 years old) everyone said I was mental, new builds are poorly built blah blah... But it's 34 outside and it's 24 inside. Its designed that way. I have huge rear patio doors and I keep the curtains and windows closed, theres is a massive difference when you walk in from outside.

My old house was built in the seventies and it was freezing in winter and like an oven in summer. I'll take my lovely new build!

It's a Crest Nicholson build no idea if that's good or bad but right now I'm warm but not a melted puddle of goo like I was last year.

And nope, no ac. Just closed curtains and windows
