    A lot of these older houses also have no wall cavity, meaning wall insulation can’t be done (without adding thick panels to the inside of every room, making each room smaller).

    Where is this one coming from now?

    You can insulate terraced housing perfectly well from the outside. Added benefit is increased aesthetics of such solution.

      I live in a conservation area where external insulation will be a hard sell. There’s a lot of such areas around, some a lot more restrictive than where I am.

        And many more areas which are less restrictive. Your point is?

          My point is that not all houses can be insulated externally. In fact, many cannot even if it would be technically viable.

          I thought it was pretty obvious but happy to clarify!

            Well, nothing can be done for “all houses”. Insulating vast majority of housing which can be insulated externally would be a good start.
